We cordially invite everyone to join us in the “Art on Climate” competition to collaboratively shape a sustainable future.
Theme of the Competition: Climate Change
Participants are invited to submit original works on the theme of "climate change". Participants should draw inspiration from one or more of the following topics as a starting point of their artworks:
Statements:
- Empowering Communities for Climate Resilience
Climate change, one of the most critical challenges facing our planet, brings profound impacts across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. To navigate its escalating risks, it is crucial to develop resilient communities capable of adapting to immediate threats. This approach also equips us to address the broader uncertainties, ensuring a sustainable future amidst a changing climate. - Establishing Planetary Boundaries for Sustainable Living
To safeguard the stability and health of our planet, we must identify the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate, ensuring minimal impact on biodiversity. Respecting these boundaries enables us to act responsibly, mitigating irreversible harm to ecosystems and avoiding unintended consequences in our efforts to combat climate change. - Advancing Inclusive Capitalism for a Sustainable Future
Inclusive capitalism aims to build a just and sustainable society by balancing financial returns with social impact, encouraging businesses and investors to focus on long-term value creation, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. As inclusion emerges as a critical focus following climate change, this approach demands innovative solutions to meet the expectations of younger generations.
