Wild Stories - Increasing Action for Climate & Nature Crises

About
How Story Increases Action for the Climate and Nature Crises.Story is a simple device common to every human culture. It has some 50,000 years of history, yet has often come to be both misunderstood and misused in the modern era. Story was once tales told at every flickering fireside, the children’s faces upturned and wide-eyed. Now it is expressed in many forms of art and culture, in business and activism.
Professor Jules Pretty OBE joins us to reveal how stories can be used to create agency for the climate, nature and inequality crises. It is a common feeling for the public and policy makers to feel anxiety, fear and helplessness in the face of global-wide crises. Yet stories can create a sense of purpose.
A good story is immersive, transfers something memorable with meaning, helps the audience in their lives, the moments of transformation jolt us out of habits and onto a new way or path.
A butterfly flaps its wings, and whole systems change.
