Lessons for the Planet

The environment seen through art: a series of digital lessons by environmental artist Anne de Carbuccia. For more information and webinars: contact@oneplanetonefuture.org

The Lessons for the Planet recount the images and address the key themes of the Anthropocene: Water, Drought, Climate Refugees, War, Trash, Endangered Species and Cultures, as well as the infinite possibilities of a positive Anthropocene: Wonder, Hope, Protection, Action, Love. They also address certain educational themes that are becoming increasingly relevant for the school of the future: urban responsibility and the importance of choice, the connections and interconnections between events and between us and the Planet.

THE FUTURE OF OUR GLACIERS

“The survival of all of us wherever we live on this planet depends on our glaciers. Find out why!”

(20 mn) | The lesson shows us how much the world of glaciers has changed and how Anne’s art has evolved with it. Scientists say we are reaching a tipping point. We need a new individual and collective approach to save them, but we already have the solutions.

“The next generations have the right to a clean future and we should all act upon that”

(Part 2 – 17 mn) | The second episode of Pollution and Solutions recounts how more and more citizens and institutions consider climate change and pollution as the worst inter-generational violation of human rights. But there are still several futures possible and it’s now that we are choosing the one the next generations will live.
