Stories matter in climate changed worlds. They matter in how humans and non-humans dwell with, envision and respond to climate change impacts. Storytelling translates and represents lived experiences and scientific projections. In this panel, we consider the forms and roles of storytelling in shaping human relationships to climate change, environmental politics and the non-human world. We explore how science and data without stories and meaning, can lack forms of connection that lead people to act.
Brought to you by RMIT University’s Centre for Urban Research and non/fictionLab, this panel brings together storytellers and social scientists engaged in critiquing and envisioning future worlds to discuss the role, power and trouble with storytelling for climate action.
