Abstract
Countless studies reveal that human activities are having a devastating impact on Earth systems. Interdisciplinary collaboration is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, framed by the UN in time, where organizations will be key players in combatting climate change. However, creating awareness and communicating about the climate crisis faces obstacles, such as the lack of narratives that get people motivated about climate action. This is where art comes in: art has the power to appeal to emotions and create collective transformative action. This study explores how art can serve as a tool to raise awareness and promote education within organizations about the climate crisis. To increase the forms of collaboration between academia, the arts, and practitioners, I conducted a focus group with participants from diverse sectors. This research revealed three findings: (1) Artists and representatives of organizations feel personally responsible for combating the climate crisis, (2) Interdisciplinary and structural barriers hinder collaboration between artists and organizations, and (3) Artists are still seen as an untapped potential but involving artists in organizational work holds potential for Positive Social Change. After presenting the results, I offered recommendations for practitioners as well as artists to move forward together.
