The Aspen Institute | Aspen Ignites: Creative Youth Leaders Shaping the Future of Climate Action @aspeninstitute | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
“We're really at a point in the climate crisis where I feel like art remains a very critical thread that needs to be tied into our solutions because the emotional pull of a creative practice is something that can unify different knowledges for us to take action and build for future generations,” says Orion Camero, a Future Climate Leader at the Aspen Institute, in the latest episode of #AspenIgnites. Joined by fellow Future Climate Leader Yadira Capaz and our Creative Services Director Kristina Saccone, they explore how art can transform our approach to the climate crisis.
From fostering human connections, vulnerability, and shared experiences to helping us process emotions like pain and grief, art offers a unique way to engage people with complex challenges like climate change. Yadira and Orion share how creative practices can stir conversations, create an open, emotional space for dialogue, inspire empowerment, and drive action in the fight for climate justice.
Listen now to hear how their leadership and experience as future climate leaders have accelerated their work and connected them to a community driving positive change.
