One of the greatest challenges with mobilizing the public with tackling climate change is that it\u2019s perceived as a distant concept, not an immediate issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah True Lithograph for #ClimateVisionaries Artists
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was inspired by the visuals of polar ice melting, a consequence of climate change that is happening in real time. I intended to capture a sense of abstraction, as well as both the environmental fragility and violence.<\/p>\n

As we begin this critical new year in the fight against climate change, Greenpeace is giving over space on our channels to authors and artists working within the climate crisis. Acclaimed author\u00a0Lauren Groff<\/a>\u00a0prompted artists and thinkers to write essays and art about climate change for us, and so every day this month we\u2019ll have a new piece from that project that addresses, in some form, what it means to create in the midst of this crisis. The forces fueling climate change have the most powerful networks in history pumping out their devastating propaganda at unimaginable scale. It\u2019s going to take everything we have from all of us \u2013 imagination equal to the task \u2013 to create the climate we\u2019ll need to stop the crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n

We need these voices and these visions, but they won\u2019t be enough. We need you, too. We encourage you to check back on the\u00a0Climate Visionaries Artists\u2019 Project<\/a>\u00a0every day to see what\u2019s new, and to join the conversation by sharing your work on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and tagging it #ClimateVisionaries.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
