CLIMATE CURIOUS LIVE
We’re recording a Halloween special of the Climate Curious podcast with renowned disease detective, Neil Vora.
Housmans will be joining us to sell a selection of books, including some by our speakers and climate bestsellers.
Our thanks go to Simone Giampalo for letting us show: Only A Child, a visual poem created by over 20 animation directors under the artistic supervision of Simone Giampaolo. The short film gives shape and colour to the original words spoken by Severn Cullis-Suzuki at the UN Summit in Rio in 1992, a child’s desperate call to action for the future of our planet.
