Supporting climate action in the creative industries across South Asia.

Climate Futures: South Asia is a new programme supporting climate action in the creative industries through grants, mentorship, research, and knowledge exchanges between the UK and South Asia. 

The programme will support artists and cultural organisations to develop impactful responses to the climate emergency and empower the arts community to contribute to climate action and sustainability through innovative projects. 

This may include projects that: 

  • Support artist-led initiatives that promote knowledge creation and sustainability in the cultural sector 
  • Design and implement a sustainability strategy or process for an organisation, including capacity building initiatives 
  • Optimise infrastructure to enhance climate change awareness and sustainable approaches within the arts sector.  

Successful grantees will receive mentorship throughout their project from leading UK specialists.
