Presenting two events within the Festival of Politics, our first event looks at the role of the arts in engaging people and communities with the urgent need for climate action – what can artists can do to advocate change?

The panel will is chaired by Presiding Officer for the Scottish Parliament, Alison Johnstone MSP, with an introduction from Sir Jonathan Mills, Culture Summit Programme Director.
