In the end of 2015, 196 country leaders of the world gathered in Paris, France. The United Nations Climate Change Conference(COP21) was held, and also the signing of the Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, there were nearly 100 artists, cultural workers, creators and cultural policy facilitators gathered in Paris, conducting a 3-day workshop (ArtCOP21). Through cases, they work on issues in climate changing, in order to express the deep concern in the matter of environmental sustainability.
When facing the global issue, exploring what is behind the environmental degradation, cultural and social problems are what is hidden behind the veil. The most important key lies in our attitude toward life and our consuming habits. At this very moment is the opportunity to actualize oneself and to change the present. Even if perfection seems within distance, an action must be made immediately to achieve status updates. At the same time, we need to continue the consideration and construct a long-term policy to make a change in sustainability.
The conversation of the world begins with collaboration and innovation. We respond environmental sustainability through art and creativity, moreover to generate actual stimulation and emerge changes.
