Let’s create the
world we long for
We Make Tomorrow is a global campaign bringing together artists and artivists, creatives, designers, cultural knowledge and heritage keepers,
united in climate action.
Together, we are launching a
Global Call to governments and policy makers to place culture at the heart of climate action.

Why we're
doing this
Action on climate is failing to keep pace with science
and public opinion.
We need rapid, urgent and systemic cultural change that upholds the rights and knowledge of communities, and leverages the transformative power of arts, creativity, cultural memory and practice to accelerate climate action.
Despite culture being central to all our lives, heritage, the arts, and the creative industries are mainly unrecognised as climate solutions.
Around the world, culture-based solutions are protecting and regenerating the earth, supporting communities, and centering climate justice.
But we could be doing much more!
Formal recognition and respect for culture-based solutions is critical for the movement.

Who Else
is Signing?
We Make Tomorrow is a broad coalition including the Climate Heritage Network, Global Artivism, Petra National Trust, Europa Nostra, British Council, Entertainment + Culture Pavilion, Group of Friends for Culture Based Climate Action, UNFCCC ECCA and artists, cultural institutions, museums, festivals, and grassroots collectives across 100+ countries.
1. Global Call
We’re gathering 10,000+ signatures from heritage, arts and creative industries united in calling for culture to be at the heart of climate action to present to climate leaders and decision-makers at COP30, as part of the Brazilian Presidency’s #MutirãoCOP30.
2. Sharing evidence-based stories & Supporting Policy
When you sign up you will be invited to share data, stories, and evidence of culture-led climate solutions: from heritage protection and Indigenous knowledge to art and artivist campaigns, decarbonisation of creative industries and circular design.
The number one policy priority is to fully integrate culture into the UNFCCC second Global Stocktake. Your evidence will make the compelling case for culture at COP30 in front of global decision makers to ensure climate action includes culture comprehensively and transversally, and creates an existing library of culture-based solutions.
3. Festival of Culture
We Make Tomorrow does not finish after COP30. Our vision for this is a Global Culture Mutirão* in the run-up to COP31, an invitation for performances, installations, conversations and creative interventions, happening everywhere, all at once. This is a global culture Mutirão, a collective moment where arts and culture unite in joy, grief, courage, truth and care for the earth.
Culture-first
We Make Tomorrow is driven by artists, creatives, heritage-keepers, and communities, rooted in climate justice.
Unbranded and open
We Make Tomorrow is co-created, belonging to everyone. It is a shared platform and campaign, not an organisation.
How We
Work
Partner-led
We Make Tomorrow is led by regional partners and independent hubs.
Collaborative and transparent
We Make Tomorrow is built on reciprocity, openness, and co-ownership.
Why your support matters
For policy makers
Policy needs culture now more than ever. 10,000 signatures from voices across culture sends a powerful message to governments and the UNFCCC
