Isabel Beavers, MFA ’17, leverages multimedia art to evoke emotional and subjective experiences, encouraging deeper reflection on the climate crisis. “My hope is that through the emotional and subjective experience of witnessing art, minds can be shifted,” they say. With a background in natural resource management and a passion for ecology and art, Beavers seamlessly blends their expertise to shift perceptions and inspire environmental change.

Looks like an exciting conference! Will be submitting a proposal - anyone else also considering going? The 13th European Society for Environmental History Conference will be held August 18th – 22nd, 2025 in Uppsala, Sweden. Submission deadline Nov 15! "The conference theme of “Climate Histories” puts narratives at the center to represent experiences of living with climate uncertainties. These include climate reconstruction and climate-society histories, the historiography of climate research, oral history and storytelling, as well as counter-narratives to the Eurocentric Anthropocene narrative." https://lnkd.in/dsbRVunt

Consultant and Applied Researcher | Social Innovation 💭| Economist & future psychologist | Pg. in Climate Resilience | Human-centric Technologies | Global Shapers
🌍 It was great to address the #Urbanheat and #climatevulnerability challenges in cities such as Barcelona during the RMIT Europe and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) workshop. Indeed, we need #transdisciplinary approaches to promote social and climate resilience in urban areas and prevent the exacerbation of existing inequalities.
Urban heat, as a consequence of climate change, is a critical challenge facing many cities across the world and requires a transdisciplinary research agenda to achieve more regenerative futures. RMIT Europe recently brought together a diverse community of researchers for a workshop in Barcelona to explore more equitable ways to address the impacts of urban heat such as drought, wildfires, air pollution and energy poverty. The workshop was undertaken in conjunction with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna. Participants included Professor Philipp Heidkamp, Laura Armayones Carranza, Professor Elena Domene, Zoé Sandoval Ganoza and Sharon S. Baltazar who share their reflections on the participatory process in this highlight video.

Foregrounding intercultural knowledge for strategy, innovation & design | Founder & Principal of Julia Watson | Co-founder of o—TEK Institute | MLA II Harvard GSD
In 2019, TASCHEN published Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigensm, in which I coined a new term that looks to the past to envision an inclusive planetary future. In my second book of the Lo—TEK series titled Water to be published in Spring 2025, indigenous nature-based water technologies and contemporary water projects infused with traditional ecological knowledge are profiled. On World Book Day we're celebrating Lo—TEK—a movement to realign humankind with the planet by rebuilding an understanding of Indigenous and traditional knowledge systems for climate resilience.

One thing that the world may not fully realize is the profound interconnectedness of all living beings and the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustain life on our planet. While scientific understanding has advanced significantly, there is still much to learn about the intricate web of relationships between species and the complex dynamics of natural systems. Appreciating and respecting this interconnectedness can lead to greater environmental stewardship and promote harmony between humanity and the natural world. https://amzn.to/3xK5dp3

The ClimateMusic Project offers the broad public an intuitive, visceral way to learn about the climate emergency. Their science-informed performances and content fill an important gap in publicly accessible information on climate.
We were honored to have been invited to perform "Climate" live at the University of California at Davis last week. "Climate", by composer Erik Ian Walker in collaboration with a team of our science advisors, takes us on a sonic and visual journey over 450 years, from the past into the future that might await us if we fail to heed the urgency of climate action now. The University's Institute of the Environment organized and hosted the event at the Wyatt Pavilion on Campus. A big shout out of gratitude to Dr. Isabel Montañez, Director of the Institute, and Elena Peters for making the event possible.

Because today is the day of ecological knowledge, we wanted to open a dialogue about Two-Eyed Seeing, traditional ecological knowledge and the value of humanity working with the land. There is a misconception in western science that humans are separate from nature when we are just as much a part of the earth as the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky. With our contributions, the earth thrives! Our duty is to protect the environment by existing in harmony with it. We recommend listening to this video for more information and exploring the concept further! https://lnkd.in/gmQKdHyR

Because we are embedded within the growth dynamic, we consider it to be the norm -even though it is a distinctly abnormal period in human history and can never occur again. Tune in with the brilliant Bill Rees, co-developer of ecological footprint analysis https://ow.ly/7S8n50RvZnk

Our student Ricarda Lynn Otte has written an excellent thesis on "Cultural Policy Efforts Regarding Climate Action in German Museums," which is now available to everyone on the PubData server at Leuphana Universität Lüneburg. If you're interested in what drives climate action agency, you should definitely take a look at Ricarda's paper. You find the link in her post below. #MACUMA #artsmanagement #culturalmanagement #culturalpolicy
My master's thesis "Cultural Policy Efforts Regarding Climate Action in German Museums. Insights from Three Major Cities in Times of the Energy Crisis" is now published on PubData, the repository of the Leuphana Universität Lüneburg and available for everyone: https://lnkd.in/e36x4ktT Thanks to Olga Kolokytha, Dr. Patrick S. Föhl and Christian Holst for their great support to get it there! I have visualized some of my key findings from nine qualitative interviews in this "steering wheel" showing that “Agency” - defined as “the ability to take action or to choose what action to take” (Cambridge Dictionary, n.d.) - is the core of climate action. You can read more about the driving forces of agency on page 75 👻 ...
