go small or go home

Go Small is contributing to PR + social media activities for Resilient People + Climate Change, a unique two-day event around the theme of human resiliency in the face of climate change.

In the lead up to COP15 — United Nations Climate Change Conference Copenhagen, December 7-18, 2009, two people, a writer and cultural mythologist, decided the time was ripe to talk about the psychological and social aspects of climate change and to use narrative, storytelling and organizational preparedness to help foster resilience in these areas.

“We are living through a planetary transition that is desperate for a new narrative,” says Michael Littrell, cultural mythologist and co-convener of the conference along with writer and Huffington Post blogger Sanjay Khanna.

Conference speakers include Glenn Albrecht, Australian environmental philosopher who will be featured in an upcoming issue of NY Times Magazine, Carl M. Hild, an expert on the impacts of climate change and public health, and a recipient of the Alaska Public Health Association’s Long-term Service Award, and Victoria Hykes Steere, Iñupiat and human rights lawyer, Alaska, U.S.

We are thrilled to be part of this event, which takes place October 21-22.
