Introduction
Arts Council of Wales is committed to championing the important role of the arts in transforming our society and economy to tackle the climate and nature emergencies. And we recognise that climate change is about more than the environmental repercussions – it is about social justice and inequality. We strongly believe in putting equality and justice at the heart of our contribution, and we are confident that this approach also strongly reflects the immense commitment of the arts sector in Wales.
To that end, we have developed our Plan for Climate Justice and the Arts, through a collaborative process as part of our Creative Nature Programme with Natural Resources Wales. The plan sets out how we have worked with people from across Wales to identify a vision, goals and shared beliefs related to how the arts can engage with climate justice, and we share a detailed series of positive actions that will see us making a tangible difference together.
