It’s been a mind-altering week at the Creative Climate Leadership course. 25 artists and culture-workers intensely connected, probed, debated, and staggered away with determination. Hosted by Creative Australia and facilitated by Julie’s Bicycle (UK) and Ruth Langford, I’m incredibly grateful for their cumulative wisdom and generosity, and still digesting what it means for the years to come.
One thing that looms large is Australia’s bid to co-host COP31 in 2026. Will it be farcical or a game-changer, and can artists do something about that? Meanwhile, we need to be doing everything we can to urge a climate transition, inside and out.
