Is culture the untapped ally for climate policy?

This event will inspire and equip climate and cultural policymakers to work together using culture as a powerful resource for climate action.

The arts and media, historic places, museums, libraries and galleries hold essential skills and knowledge which are as yet untapped by climate policymakers.

Climate-conscious Scottish-Nigerian supermodel Eunice Olumide narrates a powerful short film. Climate and cultural leaders will provide eloquent examples of collaborations in climate action. We end with a Q&A to identify your next steps in working jointly with cultural and climate colleagues.
