Born in the historic context of COP30, United Artists for Climate marks the first collective initiative of a global community of contemporary artists united around the climate emergency.

Launched by Art of Change 21, in partnership with Labverde (a major Brazilian actor in art and ecology since 2013), this new international community brings together contemporary artists from across the world who are concerned about – or already engaged in – environmental issues and who wish to take action together.

During COP30, from 10 to 21 November 2025

International artists highlighted their connection to the environment on Instagram through videos, artworks and testimonies to raise public awareness and call for commitments that match the urgency of the climate and environmental crisis.

In parallel, eight Brazilian artists – including Christian Braga and Margem do Rio – carried out artistic actions at COP30 and across Belém.
The two founding presidents of Art of Change 21 and Labverde, Alice Audouin and Lilian Fraiji, were also present at COP30 to advocate for culture at the heart of climate action, alongside We Make Tomorrow, the Climate Heritage Network and the Entertainment + Culture Pavilion. They spoke in the Blue Zone, notably during the opening of Culture Day on 12 November.

The community currently includes 290 artists from 58 countries.

United Artists for Climate is affiliated with We Make Tomorrow, of which Art of Change 21 is a founding partner.

Art of Change 21 is mobilizing its international community of committed artists at an unprecedented scale through United Artists for Climate, in partnership with Labverde, Brazil’s most emblematic actor in this field..

From the Amazon, Labverde is proud to join forces with Art of Change 21 in the major alliance United Artists for Climate, which will plant new imaginaries and help grow a new socio-environmental consciousness.

A long-term community built around three pillars:

• Showcasing artistic practices connected to the environment
• Mobilizing artists for the environment
• Supporting the ecological transition of artistic sector

A steering committee and a programme are currently in development.

United Artists for Climate is funded by Art of Change 21 through its own resources, without any brand partnerships.

Special thanks to Nathalie Guiot (Fondation Thalie), one of the association’s donors whose support made this initiative possible.
