A globally recognised art and climate Creative Producer, CLIMARTE’s work harnesses the power of the arts to inform, engage and inspire ambitious, evidence based action on the Climate Emergency.

Established in 2010 to bring together a broad alliance from across the arts, humanities and sciences, CLIMARTE is founded on the best available science. Our work helps mobilise communities to demand immediate, effective and creative policy action to restore a climate capable of sustaining all life.

As the scientific facts, data and evidence (as well as daily news reports) show, the world is already in advanced stages of a Climate Emergency. At this late stage, maintaining life as we know it on Earth requires global economies to transition to zero emissions while at the same time drawing down legacy carbon at emergency scale and speed, before 2030.

CLIMARTE is deeply committed to The Treaty that establishes Gellung Warl as the permanent representative and deliberative body for Traditional Owners and First Peoples in Victoria.

We acknowledge the reality of white privilege and recognise the historic and continuing systemic injustice and oppression of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that corrodes Australia’s social fabric. We are sickened by the unacceptable rates of incarceration and death in custody among First Nations peoples. We urge all Australians to join us by supporting the adoption and implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and for governments to immediately adopt the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (1987-1997).

CLIMARTE stands strongly against racism in all its forms. We are humbled for the courageous and determined leadership of First Nations people and are dedicated to fighting for equality for all people of colour, Indigenous communities here and everywhere, as this is an inextricable part of the fight for Climate Justice.
