Abstract | As negotiators and the media descended on Paris, the Festival explored how culture in London interacts with the climate crisis through bringing together artists, journalists, politicians and academics to debate London’s role as a city of fossil fuels, and the responsibility of culture to drive a rupture with business as usual. The Active Energy project provided an example of how older citizens are able to draw on their extensive life experience to help counter climate crisis, and the role of the arts in facilitating that process. |
