Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Texts from Gorwelion will be made available as digital contributions to events at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties COP26 in Glasgow, 1-12 November 2021, representing voices from the UK and India in uniting the world to tackle climate change, where the book will also be launched and available to buy. Produced in collaboration with Sustainable Wales/ Cymru Gynaliadwy Gorwelion follows on from Sustainable Wales' initial project 'Our Square Mile', created to help us imagine the future. 'This project aims to imagine what life in Wales could look like in the future as seen through the lens of the cultural dimension of well-being. The Well-being of Future Generations Act requires us to think long-term and broaden our horizons and "Square Mile - Milltir Sgwar" can do just that...' – Sophie Howe, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales Gorwelion is the second stage of this project commissioning five writers from India and five others from the UK. Contributors from Wales include Peter Finch, Laura Wainwright and Abeer Ameer; from Scotland include Mandy Haggith and Stewart Sanderson; and from India include Sampurna Chatterji. These contributors have been asked to consider the 'global' re: climate change, biodiversity and introduce 'future thinking'. This future might be mundane, marvellous or dreadful.
