This yea r, Warming Up Festival is not asking how you can live more sustainably. It is asking why so many people, especially young people, have tuned out of a conversation that may affect them more than anyone.

Not out of ind ifference, but because of mental exhaustion. Because of climate anxiety an d guilt. Because of a system that places the emphasis on individual respon sibility, while the biggest polluters and fossil fuel subsidies largely re main out of the spotlight. And sometimes also because a climate movement t hat seems to demand perfection rather than participation.

You can’t save the world alone. Fortunately, you don’t have to. Warming Up Festival therefore takes a different approach: solidarity instead of penance.

For three days, the festival brings together art, journalism, music and c onversation around the question of how individual choices relate to system s that are largely beyond our control, and where we can actually make a di fference as a collective. It is a festival that makes room for imperfectio n, for doubt and for new forms of engagement.
