Culture and Climate Change: Track 1

Audio

Every generation faces challenges that previous generations could scarcely imagine. Twenty years ago, few people were talking about climate change, now it's one of the most hotly-contested areas in politics. How do artists, writers, musicians and broadcasters respond when a new subject appears that is as large and significant as this? What kind of novels, plays, paintings, sculptures, movies and music begin to emerge?

Track 1: An introduction to Mediating Change

Joe Smith introduces a series of four podcasts that aim to evaluate cultural responses to climate change. Produced by The Open University in conjuction with the Ashden Trust.
