SUMMARY:COP Tales and Cocktails
DESCRIPTION:Creative Carbon Scotland is pleased to invite you to the next i
 n our series of Green Tease events\, organised in collaboration with ecoar
 tscotland.\n\nCOP26\, the world's largest climate conference\, is coming t
 o Glasgow in December 2020. It will be the most important gathering on cli
 mate change since the Paris Agreement and will have a substantial role in 
 determining international environmental policy for years to come.\n\nThis 
 could be a huge opportunity to leverage improvements in work to tackle cli
 mate change here in Scotland and the UK and we want to make sure that we t
 ake full advantage of this. The COP will only be in town for two weeks\, s
 o we need to be planning now to make the most of this short time.\n\nWe fe
 el that it is vitally important to establish good communication early on b
 etween people working in different fields. In particular we want to help f
 orge connections between environmental organisations and campaigns and art
 ists or arts organisations\, believing that these areas have much to offer
  each other.\n\nThe climate crisis is also a crisis of culture in the broa
 dest sense\, a failure of how we operate as a society\, and we believe tha
 t the cultural sector can and should be doing more to bring about the sust
 ainable future we desperately need. The cultural sector has huge social in
 fluence and can provide an invaluable resource for reaching and engaging n
 ew people about climate change in different ways.\n\nThis event will bring
  together sustainability experts\, campaigners\, artists\, arts organisati
 ons\, and policy makers to learn more about what the big issues will be at
  COP26\, think about the history of the arts' engagement with previous COP
 s\, share plans that are already in development\, make new plans\, and for
 m connections across the divides between these disciplines.\n\nSo whether 
 you're already deep into planning or are looking to find out how you can g
 et involved\, join us for an evening of drinks (perhaps a festive mulled w
 ine)\, snacks and energising discussion. Tell others about what you are pl
 anning and learn what other are working on. And then we can get to work!\n
