How can culture-based climate solutions help activate the six ACE principles? Why must culture be at the heart of climate action—and what impact does it make? This interactive session hosted jointly under the ACE Hub Youth Event, explored the power of culture as a catalyst for climate action, and how it can be used to activate the principles of Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE). Participants explored how cultural approaches can scale climate efforts, foster deeper public engagement, and move us beyond the echo chamber.
The session was organized by the Entertainment + Culture Pavilion.
