Emotion and the Climate Emergency
Join Dr James Hutton, ethics researcher, emotion theorist and sometime climate activist, for a deep dive into the highs and lows of our emotional responses to the climate crisis.
About Emotion and the Climate Emergency
What emotions do you feel when you consider our future on a warming planet? Are you paralysed by anxiety? Wracked with anger? Seized with hope? Do emotions like these stop us from thinking rationally about climate action, or are there times when emotion is just what we need to make us strive for a better world? J
Hosted by Dr Hermione Cockburn, Scientific Director of Dynamic Earth. The event will also include live original poetry readings focusing on our experiences of the climate crisis from Scottish creative, Raymond Wilson.
Includes welcome drink on arrival.
