This month, recent headlines focus on arts, culture and climate change as the international community continues to confront the climate emergency.
At an international level, the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) took place in in Glasgow, Scotland from 31 October to 13 November, with videos from the event available to watch here including events related to arts and culture. Coinciding with COP26, on 4 November, the World Cities Culture Forum held its Global Conversation on cultural recovery and published its new report The Green World Cities of Tomorrow: Culture and Sustainability which looks at how major cities around the world are responding to climate change through cultural policies and programmes.

Discussions covered mapping national arts policies to climate policies, seeking to strengthen the creative climate movement and mobilising action rapidly.

Action was released by Julie’s Bicycle, and its research builds on the collaboration with IFACCA’s D’Art Report 34b: The arts and environmental sustainability – an international overview a study conducted just before the Paris COP21.
