10:45 - 11:20 Friday 22nd Mar 2024 / 35 min

Dive into the art of climate storytelling and justice alongside Vasna Ramasar, Phie Ambo, and Kat Cizek.

The most plausible climate futures are neither worlds below 1.5oC warming nor climate collapse. In this world in between, climate stories are nuanced and complex. This panel explores the craft of climate storytelling that centers climate justice and dwells on the spectrum of stories in between. What stories are needed and not needed?
