Art Cop 21 Climate Festival

September–December 2015

An exceptional global festival of cultural activity on climate change. Connecting hundreds of thousands of people to the climate challenge during COP21, in over 550 events worldwide.

Climate is everyone’s business. Join the cultural movement towards a carbon neutral, clean future. We need the negotiations taking place during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP21) to succeed and build a sustainable global culture. Climate change is often seen through a policy or scientific lens, and solutions are discussed only in political offices, boardrooms and negotiating halls.

ArtCop21 launched ahead of the UN climate talks in Paris, aims to challenge those tropes. Climate is culture. What is required is the active engagement of citizens worldwide in the urgency, value and opportunities of a transition away from fossil fuels and the embracing of a greener, sustainable future economy.

ArtCOP21 was presented by creative partners COAL and Cape Farewell.
