We believe climate change is a cultural, social and economic challenge, and we have to move beyond the scientific and rational debate to address it. By bringing together artists, scientists, communicators and cultural opinion formers, we endeavour to develop creative ‘works’ that act as a catalyst for change. Using creativity to innovate, we engage artists, writers, poets, musicians and filmmakers for their ability to evolve and amplify a creative language, communicating – on an emotional level and on a human scale – the urgency of the global climate challenge.
