Read the comments and cry. The level of entitlement of some people still shocks me. It is so depressing.

This is the outdoor swimming pool at Trent Park, Enfield. Used to come here frequently each summer for years. Then they shut it for a private housing development. Now it’s reopened - but for residents only. Today it’s 35 degrees and at 3pm there are five people using it

Culture is not just a sector. It is the fabric through which societies imagine alternative futures, build legitimacy, and hold together as change happens—fundamental infrastructure to tackling the climate crisis. New @IIPP_UCL paper on Climate Change and Culture, published ahead of today's International Seminar at Somerset House with COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago, Es Devlin, @GuajajaraSonia, Louis VI and Tim Lenton.
