About Climate Futures: South Asia

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

The programme supported artists and cultural organisations to develop impactful responses to the climate emergency and empowered the arts community to contribute to climate action and sustainability through innovative projects. It included projects that: 

  • supported artist-led initiatives that promoted knowledge creation and sustainability in the cultural sector
  • designed and implemented a sustainability strategy or process for an organisation, including capacity building initiatives
  • optimised infrastructure to enhance climate change awareness and sustainable approaches within the arts sector.  

Successful grantees received mentorship throughout their project from leading UK specialists.
