That is what UN Climate Change expects with the announcement a few days ago of the global Art Charter for Climate Action (ACCA).
More specifically, the objective is the acceleration of the transition of the sector to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and to inspire climate action beyond the sector through artistic expression and innovation.
It also means focusing on the entire visual art sector’s value chain. From international freight to energy consumption. From packaging and recycling to digital initiatives.
ACCA unites a wide range of visual arts sector stakeholders, including individual artists to major museums, commercial entities to not-for-profit organizations.
According to the press release, this Art Charter brings together more than 1,000 members in over 70 countries committed to using creativity, science-based information, and collaboration to create system-wide change.
