Discussion

Senior figures in the science and policy community have summoned 'culture' to support action on climate change. Some view the arts and humanities as a kind of communications finishing school for the outputs of the climate change research and policy community - a cultural lubricant that might fix public and political apathy or opposition. To which some have replied 'be careful what you wish for'. The workshop will explore some of the questions, dilemmas and direct challenges that can be posed by artistic work on climate change.
