This webinar marks the launch of a policy brief that positions the climate crisis as not only an environmental and health emergency, but also a cultural one – arguing that meaningful responses require deep cultural transformation. The session will explore how efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate-related health risks are inseparable from the arts, culture and creative industries, which shape how people feel, imagine, communicate and act in the face of change. These sectors help translate complex climate science into tangible, relatable experiences that inform and empower communities.
