Dealing with climate change is not merely a technical or political issue.
Notably, the arts and humanities – philosophy, language, and literature – play a pivotal role in addressing this global challenge. Dystopia and utopia serve as valuable narrative tools in literature for comprehending potential futures.
The manner in which we employ language to describe climate change, disseminate knowledge, and discuss solutions is an integral aspect of coping with it. Not least, we must consider what and how we teach our children about this issue.
The humanities can guide us in navigating this complex situation, and in this panel discussion, we will endeavor to explore how.
The event is mainly in English.
