@Rachel_A_Arthur @boom_saloon @InezaGrrace Art, filmmaking and all other creative practices contribute, not only to raising awareness of problems like #LossAndDamage, but to knowledge about such problems, but perhaps most importantly also to solutions to those problems.

📢With the #GlasgowDialogue on #LossAndDamage continuing tomorrow at the #BonnClimateConference, voices from the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis must not be ignored! 📼Hear from @vanessa_vash, @SaleemulHuq & @harjeet11 on why #COP27 must deliver #LossAndDamage finance!

@boom_saloon @TeoSkeaping The role of the youth for me is to be bold and demand what is right while we also take action on the ground. For example youth can be at the frontline to design and implement project to protect their community, while they are also pressuring a major change in the global process

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace @miaamormottley Whereas leaders in the Global North like @BorisJohnson and @POTUS talk #BlahBlahBlah, meaning that they fail to deliver on promises to their own people and the international community. For example, they have not delivered the $100bn year in climate finance that was promised.

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace It's important not to generalise, but inspirational leaders from the Global South like @miaamormottley speak truth to power, they know what their people and indeed their countries need to survive and thrive beyond the #ClimateCrisis and they won't accept anything less than this.

To kick things off, we’re asking @InezaGrrace and @TeoSkeaping how they’d each define their roles within the fight against climate change? #boomdialogue #ClimateChange

@InezaGrrace @boom_saloon I guess it's both a burden and a duty then! #ClimateJustice needs solidarity not only across geographies but also across generations, not to mention across species and all spheres [cryosphere, biosphere...etc.]

@TeoSkeaping @boom_saloon I agreed with @TeoSkeaping . Youth are influencing change in the global process...but the risk of inaction will fall under the generation who wasn't present in the room when the world leader failed to take climate change with a sense of urgency!

You mention that anyone can play a significant role in the fight against climate change. What role do you believe must be played by today’s Youth who are fighting for their own liveable futures? #boomdialogue #ClimateChange #youth

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace This short film explains #LossAndDamage and what needs to happen to deal with it for those who want to know more.... youtube.com/watch?v=ahiVM4…

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace #LossAndDamage is important because those who are being affected most by the #ClimateCrisis are the least responsible for it and they have the least resources to deal with it. Therefore, when we talk about #LossAndDamage solutions we need to be talking about #ClimateReparations.

@TeoSkeaping, you mention loss and damage? What is loss and damage and why does it matter? #boomdialogue #ClimateChange #LossandDamage

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace But that means we should be incredibly supportive of youth like @InezaGrrace who are doing this work, by amplifying their voices and their work and demanding that they can contribute to the decision making process at the UNFCCC COP and other forums.

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace So I suppose I am youth adjacent at 30+, but I think the responsibility for change stills falls very much on those who are not youth in our governments, and that the youth have taken on the incredible burden of demanding that our leaders wake up and make #ClimateJustice happen.

@InezaGrrace @boom_saloon For me, @InezaGrrace, as a citizen of the Global North who is responsible for the #ClimateCrisis, the actions of countries of the Global South like Rwanda, have always given me hope, because they are the driving force behind climate action, and they are the moral leaders!

@boom_saloon @TeoSkeaping Despite the global climate inaction, our country amplify the need of a true #climate Ambition. This inspire, motivate, and help me to engage in the fight for climate change. I wish to be able to hold a light of hope, action, leadership for each of us toward #ClimateJustice

@Rachel_A_Arthur @boom_saloon @InezaGrrace Art can also create diplomatic spaces during events like #COP26 in which parties (countries) can meet at a human level, find common ground and empathy and hopefully overcome their differences....

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace I think"tangible hope for a collective future" is so very important @InezaGrrace! For me, what I hope to contribute to is making it possible to imagine - and therefore make possible - is a climate just future.

@InezaGrrace @TeoSkeaping Thank you Ineza, it's wonderful to have you as a part of this discussion. Are these small actions things that you do and steps that you take in your day-to-day life?

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace My role is interdisciplinary, I am an artist and film-maker with a policy-oriented artistic practice that focuses on #LossAndDamage and Climate Change Induced #Displacement, but I also support and undertake advocacy work on the same issues.

@boom_saloon @InezaGrrace Firstly, thanks to you @boom_saloon for initiating this important conversation between the amazing @InezaGrrace, Boom Saloon and myself!

To celebrate the launch of boom saloon memberships, this evening we’re delighted to be hosting a discussion on our Twitter between eco-feminist and climate activist @InezaGrrace and renowned photographer and climate change researcher @TeoSkeaping. #dialogue #ClimateChange
