Cultural voices are diverse. That’s their strength. When diverse voices address common themes, they can amplify each other while preserving the speakers’ unique perspectives. That is the goal behind ‘Accelerating Climate Action through the Power of Arts, Culture and Heritage: A Manifesto for COP26 on Keeping 1.5° Alive.’ The Manifesto was created by a diverse drafting team and presents a set of high level messages on the role culture can play in keeping the goal of 1.5° Alive and pursuing a resilient world. We invite all individuals and organisation around the world to sign-on to this Manifesto and consider using its themes in their own distinctive COP26-related messaging. Culture voices are climate voices and, together, we will be heard. #CultureCOP26 #ClimateHeritage #CultureKeeping1.5Alive
This Manifesto provides key messages on culture and climate change aimed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Conference (COP26) and beyond. It seeks to activate those involved in arts, culture, and heritage to take climate action through communication and engagement, inspiring and assisting their constituents, members and audiences to increase ambition; to change their own behaviours; and to engage with climate change policy development at local and national government and intergovernmental level. Simultaneously, in order to meet the urgency of the climate emergency, it strives to inspire and encourage greater synergistic collaboration on climate action with other sectors and partners that have not traditionally engaged with cultural actors.
We invite civil society, government at all levels, Indigenous Peoples’ organisations, cultural organizations and institutions, businesses, universities and research organisations and other stakeholders to join us in signing on to this Manifesto, signalling our shared ambition to create just, thriving, and resilient communities today and into the future.
