Flow is heading to COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, bringing live music and conversations about climate action to one of the world’s most important environmental gatherings.
As world leaders, policymakers and activists come together to address the climate crisis, Flow will bring a different perspective to the discussion: the voices of women and the sounds of water.
Artists including Sohini Alam, Keila, Bebé, OneDa, Gökçe Coşkun and Shingai will take part in live performances and panel discussions, exploring how music, culture and storytelling can inspire meaningful environmental action.
Flow’s presence at COP31 follows the release of its 16-track album on 9 November 2026, featuring women artists of ten nationalities, including Nadine Shah and Maxine Peake.
Through diverse musical traditions and experiences, the project highlights the impact of water-related crises on women worldwide and creates space for underrepresented voices in global climate conversations.
Flow is a project by EarthSonic and In Place of War, with support from Wellcome and Observatory.

Culture at the Crossroads: Arts as a Lever for Climate and Health Action
Thursday 12 November, 18:15–19:15
Part of the WHO Health and Climate Programme
Health Pavilion | Blue Zone, COP31 Antalya
The climate crisis is a crisis of culture. It is the result of human behaviour, rooted in how we consume, what we prioritise, and how we understand our place within the planet’s ecosystems. Shifting these patterns and fostering lasting change requires culture itself to be part of the conversation.
This session is the first of two COP31 events in the Health Pavilion that bring together voices from climate, culture and health to explore how the arts can support the health-related impacts of climate change through mitigation, adaptation and communication.
Join us for a live performance by Flow (EarthSonic), an international collaboration of women artists that turns lived experiences of water, health and territory into music. This will be followed by a panel discussion that builds on the newly published Arts, Health and Climate Policy Brief by WHO and the Jameel Arts & Health Lab. The session aims to strengthen multisectoral dialogue and build an alliance of environment, culture and health as we head into the new UN Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development.
Speakers include Robb Butler (moderator; former WHO Special Representative for Climate Change and Health), Sandrine Dixson-Declève (Club of Rome, Earth4All), Nisha Sajnani (Jameel Arts & Health Lab, NYU) and Katrín Jakobsdóttir (Chair of the Pan-European Commission on Climate and Health and former Prime Minister of Iceland), who opens the audience discussion.

Part of Goals House
Goals House | Antalya

The climate emergency is often communicated through data, projections and scientific evidence. But facts alone do not always move people to act. Art, music and storytelling can offer another way in, translating the scale of the climate crisis into something more human, immediate and shared.
In Place of War and EarthSonic will bring together artists and cultural leaders to explore the role culture can play in shaping how we understand, feel and respond to the climate crisis, reaching audiences beyond traditional climate spaces and turning anxiety into connection and collective agency.
Through an exclusive preview of the film and a live musical performance, the session will share Flow, a global project telling the stories of women on the frontlines of the water crisis through music, performance and storytelling.
