we believe art has the power to transform how we understand + tackle the climate crisis
the problem
The majority of the public accept that the climate emergency is a reality. However, the scale of the crisis creates a sense of powerlessness and disconnection, preventing individuals and communities from taking action to create meaningful change.
the solution
Art can break through these barriers. By explaining the climate emergency in engaging and creative ways, art connects communities, inspires action, and celebrates every step towards climate change resilience and adaptation.
the vision
A future where climate solutions are met with enthusiasm and widespread participation, powered by individual creativity and community collaboration.
the mandate
SALT’s mission is to develop, lead and nurture art-driven projects that bring climate challenge solutions to life.
