The challenge will be to spark imaginations and to make tangible what ‘carbon footprints’ and ‘climate action’ really mean for individuals and communities.

The arts, culture, heritage and wider creative communities have a vital role to play in bringing the urgency of this challenge to the forefront; in imagining, communicating and building a sustainable future; and in encouraging and facilitating action and change at all levels of society.

How to apply?

A detailed Briefing Note gives further information on both the creative and the climate challenge. We hope it is a useful tool and provides a source of information and inspiration to develop projects.
