Climate Crisis Film Festival 2021 highlights the inequality and the missing voices from the COP26 summit.
Taking place in Glasgow from October 31 to November 12, the COP26 Summit is considered by many to be the last chance for governments to agree on crucial climate policies that reduce carbon emissions and limit global temperature rise before the planet is set on the path to irreversible climate change. Yet the summit has bee widely criticised for being inaccessible to those who already experiencing the first and most drastic effects of climate change.
The troubling inequality has nudged Susana Basso, artistic director and cofounder of Climate Crisis Film Festival (CCFF). “For them not to be included at COP26 is particularly worrying. The least we can do as a festival is to give over our platform, shows [these communities}, and pass the mic.”
