What’s Mine is Yours podcast

This podcast series on the climate crisis is part of ThisEgg’s motherEarth international project, which was created by teams across the world and supported by our Creative Commissions for Climate Action. It was produced in parallel with the dance film Better Late Than Never.

In each episode, you can hear from one person who describes where they live and how it has changed, or is changing. They talk to the hosts about their own emergency and also about what keeps them hopeful for the future.

Culture as climate action: creativity, community and change

In the opening episode of Season 3, host Christine Wilson explores cultural heritage and creativity in the context of climate action. From a local neighbourhood in Cairo, to the cultural policy conference Mondiacult, to the United Nations’ global gathering on climate change (the Conference of the Parties - COP), we’re asking how culture and creativity can build more resilient communities and more sustainable futures.

Climate change and cultural heritage: Protecting Our Past and Future

Cultural heritage is our link to the past - the shared stories, traditions, and places that shape who we are today. Climate change threatens much of this heritage around the world.

In this episode, we examine the effects of climate change on cultural heritage and ask: what if, instead of being a victim, cultural heritage could become an ally in the fight against climate change?
