Bringing Forward Justice and Art: A Conversation on the Fifth National Climate Assessment

Join the Climate Museum on February 12th to learn about the U.S. government’s changing approach to understanding the climate crisis and the breakthrough significance of a federal climate report combining science, social justice, and art.

Every four years, the U.S. government is charged with releasing the National Climate Assessment, a report that provides a scientific foundation for policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to make informed decisions toward a climate-safe future. For the first time since these reports were initiated over 20 years ago, the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) prominently features throughlines of environmental justice and visual art. As part of NCA5’s Art x Climate project, selected works by artists of all ages are included throughout the 2023 report.

What does the institutionalization of art and justice mean for how we respond to climate change—both in the U.S. and beyond? Join us for a panel discussion on NCA5’s findings, its justice reorientation, and the power of the arts to usher in a wider cultural shift.

Panelists will include:

Mark Chambers, climate policy leader, social justice advocate, and architect; VP of Partnerships at Elemental Excelerator

Allison Crimmins, climate scientist and Director of the Fifth National Climate Assessment

Michael O. Snyder, photographer and filmmaker documenting the climate crisis and related social-environmental issues

Moderated by Anais Reyes, Senior Exhibitions Associate at the Climate Museum

This event will also be live-streamed on the Climate Museum’s Instagram page here.
