"Music allows people an understanding that doesn’t require a PhD in biosciences, but can just be felt. It can tell us: this is what is coming, this is what we need to do to change. And it can paint a picture of the alternative, because it's the artist that can sometimes communicate the beauty of the alternative vision." #CreativeClimateLeadership alumni Sam Lee talks to FAC News about bridging music, nature and activism with EarthPercent...

"At climate conferences, artists show how culture conveys the urgency of the climate crisis in ways data cannot; it inspires, mobilises and heals." Creative Climate Leadership Alumni Syed Jazib Ali reflects on #COP29, and why culture is vital for climate policy to achieve systemic change - for Nikkei Asia
Founder | Climate Justice Advocate | Media & Culture Strategist | Impact Producer | BMW Foundation Responsible Leader
My COP29 Opinion Piece for Nikkei Asia is now published! 🌍 This year, I attended COP29 Azerbaijan as part of the Creative Climate Leadership network, supported by Julie's Bicycle and the Culture of Solidarity fund by the European Cultural Foundation. In this op-ed, I delve into why culture - too often sidelined - must take its rightful place at the heart of climate decision-making. Culture is frequently overlooked in the fight against climate injustice, yet it holds the power to inspire, mobilise, and heal. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/e9S2hskD P.S. It’s paywalled for returning readers - signing in will fix it. :) #CultureForClimate #COP29 #ClimateAction
Culture must be at the heart of climate decision-making
