Climate change is a pressing reality now -- floods, forest fires and unbearable heatwaves all over the world. How can cultural heritage and ancestral wisdom be an important part of humanity's response to the impending catastrophe?
This question will be addressed during "Cultural Wisdom For Climate Action: The Southeast Asian Contribution", a three-day conference to be held at Siam Society, Asok Road, from Jan 12-14.
A collaboration with Southeast Asian Cultural Heritage Alliance (Seacha), the conference will demonstrate the value of traditional knowledge for climate change action.
