Mya-Rose Craig: Beyond the Climate Crisis
It’s time to change the stories we tell about nature and our place within it. Ornithologist Dr Mya-Rose Craig and a panel of experts argue for an urgent shift.
Headlines across the globe report on environmental breakdown, climate policy and alternative solutions. But what if the question we’ve all been missing isn’t how we stop the crisis – but what comes after?
Join record-breaking ornithologist and environmental campaigner Dr Mya-Rose Craig as she brings together a panel of leading voices to ask what kind of world we want to live in once we’ve solved the climate crisis. At the centre of the discussion is the pressing need to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world in the wake of destruction.
Moving beyond carbon targets, policy debates and short-term fixes, this conversation asks something deeper: how do we transform our values, behaviours and assumptions so that a crisis like this never happens again?
Come along and leave with new hopes for the future.
Craig is an author, environmentalist and campaigner for equal access to nature, to stop biodiversity loss and climate change and for global climate justice.
