Description
Wildfire season is starting earlier and lasting longer due to global warming across the world. What will we do to save the world on fire? How can we cure our addiction to fossil fuels which is verging on pyromania?Simon Dalby is author of Pyromania: Fire and Geopolitics in a Climate-Disrupted World and Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University. His other books are Rethinking Environmental Security, Anthropocene Geopolitics: Globalization, Security, Sustainability, and Security and Environmental Change. He’s co-editor of Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and Reframing Climate Change: Constructing Ecological Geopolitics."We have got to stop and think carefully about how we integrate our education systems so that we think across these silos and think about literally how to make a better world. And then we can extract ourselves hopefully from those little silos that we do our studying and thinking and learning in, and begin to think about our role as ecological beings. If we're going to think about well-being linked to planetary health, we need to get out of the silos that we traditionally thought about and think across the disciplines. And this should allow us to be much more creative in terms of how we design curriculum and how we organize our educational process."https://experts.wlu.ca/simon-dalby-1www.agendapub.com/page/detail/pyromania/?k=9781788216500www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast
