100,000 artists to save the IPCC

Published on 12/07/2017, 3:04 PM

In association with Artmajeur, the leading art marketplace in Europe, and Plantation Bio, COP21 official partner, the "Art saves the IPCC - Art for the Climate" global alliance is mobilizing 100,000 international artists, whose work will be sold at major charity art auctions to finance climate projects. The first event will be held at UNESCO headquarters in Paris on January 24, 2018.

French president Emmanuel MACRON spoke at the COP23 Climate Change Conference in Bonn on Wednesday, November 15. He called on Europeans to compensate for the lack of financing available to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is threatened by the withdrawal of one of its major financers. With the Climate Summit in Paris on December 12 and the IPCC Expert Meeting from December 12 to 15, the issue is more relevant than ever.

Art saves the IPCC: 100,000 artists to save science

With the "Art saves the IPCC - Art for the Climate" global alliance chaired by the sustainable economist Bruno F. CARRIER, 100,000 European and international artists are taking action to save the IPCC and independent science, which benefit everyone in climate matters. It’s a question of survival in 2018!

This fantastic francophone and international initiative has received Art for the Climate Accreditation.

Leading artists from around the world are donating pieces to a major charity art sale during a gala dinner at UNESCO on January 24, 2018, with the aim of financing climate projects.

Support this important cause and contribute to the long-term financing of the IPCC. Download our press release and visit us on our page: help the environment through art.
