Today, in every country of our world, art is naturally undergoing changes, and it is very important to direct it towards sustainable development. It’s very important for the cultural policy of many different countries to promote the agenda and ideas of biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, adaptation and mitigation to the consequences of climate change and green economy, because old cultural and behavioral models need to be rethought and improved. Therefore, the significant role also is to deliver new cultural models to viewers through art.
However, the ideas of scientific paradigms of climate change are often difficult, and it is necessary to look for new ways to explain them to the audience through emotional involvement. As part of our event, we will consider how it is possible to evoke emotions in an audience seeking to learn more about sustainable development and what cultural, communicative, and educational patterns can form the Green Arts Standards. It is also planned to present a resolution on the inclusion of green art in the cultural policy of each country as part of changing the consciousness, habits, and cultural values of the inhabitants of our planet.
Dobrosphera proudly organized a side-event at COP16, bringing together local experts, artists, and researchers to explore the intersection of sustainability and creative practice. We booked the pavilion and provided 1 travel grant and 1 hotel payment for the speakers.
Recognizing the urgent need for deeper human connection in climate-related artistic practices, Dobrosphera also introduced a Resolution calling for greater attention to feelings and ethics in art-making. This initiative emphasized the role of the arts not only as a mirror of environmental crises but as a compassionate, values-driven force for sustainable transformation and collective resilience.
