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.

Background

The Entertainment + Culture Pavilion (E+C) is a youth-led global platform dedicated to mobilizing the creative industries for climate action. E+C has spearheaded cultural programming at major climate summits, including UN Climate Change and UN Biodiversity COPs, and operates at the intersection of arts, media, policy, and advocacy to embed storytelling and cultural narratives into climate solutions.

E+C’s impact goals focus on integrating culture into climate action through policy advocacy, industry transformation, collaboration, and capacity-building. They work to advance culture-based climate action in global policy, ensuring its recognition within UN frameworks and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This session was delivered as part of the ACE Hub Youth Event and sought to enhance the capacity of participants in applying culture and creativity to advance climate action.
