Björk has said she remains hopeful for the future of the planet, claiming that “biology always wins”.During a new interview with Paper, the Icelandic singer-songwriter explained that she was “very excited about 2025” despite the ongoing threats to Earth.“There have always been apocalypses,” she told the publication. “We had Noah and the flood, we’ve had plagues.

There’s always been this narrative, and now I think it’s about being active and being part of the solution.“And also to have the courage to imagine a future and be in it, to be it.

To inspire your work locally in your community or however you think you can make a difference. It is important.”Björk has long been an advocate for environmental causes, and previewed her new climate-focused Cornucopia concert film last September as part of Climate Week 2024.

The project is due to arrive on Apple TV this Friday (January 24).The artist went on to tell Paper that she found it difficult to watch some “post-apocalyptic shows or films”, adding: “It’s like you’ve just given up – the nihilism, the self-pity, it’s like it’s cool to give up [Laughs].
