This event launched Expo City Dubai’s Connecting Minds Book Club established in partnership with Emirates Literature Foundation. This was the first session in a new series of events at ECD, that seek to gather pace on the journey towards COP28, with a focus on the intersection of climate, sustainability and culture. The event addressed the role of storytelling in the climate conversation and how we can move people from awareness to agency and action, through the power of art and literature.

Ben Okri’s poignant and timely new collection, which was made available as an early release at Expo City Dubai, evokes the magic of nature and the urgency of protecting our environment.
