In addition to the panellists, guests of various ages and vocations participated in the Conversations in Climate-ish, paving the way for examples of the new language being forged by climateers. Such bends of proverbs as “Climateer is recognised by the water s/he is drinking,” “What does a single climateer have, while climateers who generate joint solutions have power” marked the first step towards looking at the water crisis in a climate-ish way.

Covering the four key components of the climate crisis, namely Water, Agriculture and Food, Urban Life and Disasters, the second meeting of the Conversations in Climate-ish will also be held at DasDas in Ataşehir, Istanbul. The series will continue with “Agriculture and Food” on Tuesday, 8 October; “Disasters” on Tuesday, 15 October, and conclude with “Urban Life” on Tuesday, 5 November.
