As such, the Festival aims to showcase how the creative industries are engaging and inspiring the public to takes steps to curb their climate impacts and embrace the transition to cleaner technologies and greener lifestyles.

The event will present works of art and design, as well as music and performance, that can provoke conversation and engagement while highlighting how creatives and communicators can help inspire action.
