Three Key Questions on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Climate Change

DISCUSSION ON COGNITIVE OR EMOTIONAL SPHERE Most awareness-raising activities on climate change have been entrusted to statistical data that can only be processed by our cognitive sphere. In order to change behaviours, it could, however, be necessary to involve the emotional sphere. What role can culture have in this respect and how can it contribute to building an imagery of possible futures in a world touched by climate change? This question is about whether data are enough to move consciousness and to change behaviours; whether the emotional sphere needs to be taken into account in order to bring about climate change and the imagery as well.
