The Creative Climate Awards (CCA) are an annual series of events that highlight artists crafting climate-inspired public works and actions. Over the past decade, CCA has exhibited climate-inspired artwork from across the globe. This year, out of 517 submissions spanning over 50 countries, over 50 exceptional artists have been selected.
Our Creative Climate Awards celebrate artists and culture creators whose work inspires innovation, collaboration and action for climate justice with this year's theme of 'Solutions From The Frontlines'.
