Climate Talks on climate change at the Helmet libraries
The Climate Talks tour invites some twenty authors, writers and activists to the Helmet libraries of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area during February–May to discuss climate change and biodiversity loss with the help of literature.
The tour will start at Herttoniemi Library on 2 February. Climate Talks will take place almost weekly until May. More and more new books are being published on the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and ecological lifestyles. Knowledge leads to understanding and taking action, and literature can be used to imagine possible future scenarios and to process emotions and thoughts related to the ecological crisis.
Due to the coronavirus situation, at least the first talks will take place as remote events and they will be streamed on the Kirjasto Helsinki Facebook page at facebook.com/ kirjastohelsinki. The recordings of the streamed events can be viewed on the Facebook page for two weeks after the talks.
If the coronavirus situation allows, people are welcome to follow the talks at the libraries. Event announcements will indicate whether the event in question will take place remotely or if people are welcome to follow the talks at the library.
The Climate Talks tour programme will be complemented and discussions will also be organised at the libraries of Espoo and Vantaa.
