Climate action through art - 3rd November 2021
Leaders and environmental campaigners from around the world are coming together in Glasgow, Scotland. They are attending the COP26 climate conference which is created for countries to have discussions on climate change issues.
German artist Arnd Drossel entered the city in his artwork. He made the 160 kilogram steel sphere and has walked 1,500 kilometres. His message is that people should work together to fight global warming.
Arnd Drossel: "I am an artist and make this 'promise walk' from Germany to Glasgow to the COP26, about more than five, 1,500 kilometres inside of this sphere. Walking and show people we are feeling connected. We can feel connected when everyone gives a promise to our future, to our children's future and of course to Mother Earth."
Before COP26 opened, the World Meteorological Organisation reported that the warmest years on record were the last 7. If we don't reduce global warming, we should expect more extreme weather events.
On Drossel's three month journey, he spoke to everyone he met about being green, from children to community leaders.
Arnd Drossel: "All around the world we have the same problems but also the same chance. When climate changing is – when we take care about our future. And that’s why I did walk just three months long."
On Drossel's way, he had to stop and repair his sphere often. He also met lots of people and got support. He believes this is an image of the way to deal with climate change.
Arnd Drossel: "Nearly every second day, I have find a welding space, a workshop to repair it. But that’s how it is in life. We have always have to take care and repair our own life situation and to repair our nature and to repair the contacts with other people because sometimes it’s not so easy."
