Madrid, June 1 (EFEverde).- Literature as a tool for change takes center stage on June 5th at the Europa Pavilion on the occasion of World Environment Day. Four ambassadors of the European Climate Pact will present their books at the roundtable "Writing the Future: Literature and Climate Action," reflecting on how writing can drive awareness and action in the face of the climate crisis. This discussion will be moderated by environmental journalist and climate ambassador Arturo Larena.

As part of World Environment Day, the Europa Pavilion will host the roundtable "Writing the Future: Literature and Climate Action" next Thursday, June 5th, an event where literature becomes an ally of sustainability and climate activism. The event, organized by the European Commission Representation in Spain in collaboration with Ecoserveis, will bring together five ambassadors of the European Climate Pact , who will present their books and discuss how words can inspire real transformations in the face of climate change.

The participants will be:

• Isabel Silva , co-founder of the A 4 Voces Center and facilitator of the Climaticosespana network, presents the collective book "Ambassadors of the European Climate Pact. For a Sustainable World."

• Luis Lehmann , expert in the circular economy and public policy, author of "Change the Economy, Change the World. Society and the Circular State at the End of the Age of Abundance."

• Antonio Aguilera , environmental consultant and activist, author of “Anthropocene: The Hour of the Earth, Harassed by Man.”

The meeting will be moderated by environmental journalist and director of EFEverde, Arturo Larena , who is also an ambassador for the European Climate Pact.

In addition to learning about the content of the works firsthand, attendees will be able to ask questions to the speakers and discuss the role of cultural activism and individual and collective commitment in the ecological transition.

“Writing the Future” highlights how literature, far from being merely contemplative, can become a powerful tool for transforming perceptions, advancing policies, and forging collaborative networks for a sustainable future.

The roundtable on literature and the environment will take place next Wednesday, June 5, from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m., in the Europa Pavilion at the Madrid Book Fair .

This is the fourth consecutive year that the European Commission will be present at the Fair—from May 30 to June 15—with its own Europe Pavilion featuring cultural and literary activities aimed at all audiences. This year's event has special significance as it marks the 40th anniversary of Spain's accession to the European Union.
