Slow Living: What You Can Do About Climate Change by Dr. Vandana Shiva and Ms. Shreya Jani
Priya Kapoor, Editorial Director at Roli Books, opened the evening by welcoming the audience and introducing Slow Living: What You Can Do About Climate Change, describing it as a timely and practical response to the ecological and social challenges of the present moment. She then invited the authors, Dr. Vandana Shiva and Shreya Jani, to the stage to discuss the ideas that shaped the book.
In conversation, Dr. Vandana Shiva and Shreya Jani reflected on the urgent need to rethink the pace of contemporary life and the consequences of a world driven by speed, consumption, and constant growth.
Drawing on decades of ecological work and grassroots movements, Dr. Shiva spoke about how the pursuit of speed has led not only to environmental crises such as climate change and pollution, but also to the fragmentation of communities and a loss of space for reflection and care.
