AN OPEN CALL FOR ART THAT RESPONDS TO THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY.

#CreateCOP27 invites creatives aged 14-30 to submit work that generates conversations around the urgent need for climate action and raises awareness of the important decisions being made at COP27, the United Nations’ annual climate summit.

The role and impact of individual, collective, and systemic action is a conversation that continues to divide opinion when it comes to making effective change. Rather than seeing any of these types of actions as less or more beneficial than the others, let us think of them as intrinsic to one another.

Created by Outspoken Narrative and Green Teenz RVA, this short documentary film discusses environmental racism in the context of Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A.

Speaking with community advocates, Jovanni and Brianne, this film looks at how environmental racism is impacting people on a daily basis, some of the underlying causes, and what Richmond’s Sustainability Office (and individuals) can do to help.
