What’s Ragnarök got to do with climate change?
Listen now
Description
Ragnarök isn’t just an ancient Norse myth that describes the destruction of the universe and the rebirth of a new world after the cataclysm, it’s a model for how we can tell new stories of climate resilience. Contemporary folklorist Lauren Fadiman joins Climate Curious to share how ancient legends can help us overcome the challenges using the power of storytelling, to break and remake the way we see the world. After all, if we’ve done it before, we can do it again! Recorded live at TED Countdown 2024 in Brussels.
