WHERE CULTURE

MEETS CLIMATE

Who we are

The Entertainment + Culture Pavilion is a global non-profit organization that works to bridge the gap between culture and climate within the multilateral policymaking landscape, convening together cultural practitioners, grassroots movements, institutions, and governments to utilize culture to achieve the Paris Agreement goals.

Through policy advocacy, strategic programming, and community-led convenings at key global climate moments, we platform Indigenous, Global Majority, and frontline voices to ensure culture is recognised as an essential driver of climate action.

Founded on the belief that culture drives meaningful change, our mission is to foster a global community where creative expression and cultural heritage play a pivotal role in promoting sustainability and inspiring eco-conscious behaviors. By curating dynamic events, forging strategic partnerships, and spotlighting innovative cultural practices, we aim to shape environmental policies and cultivate a global movement committed to ecological justice and sustainability. Our work is a catalyst for empowering communities, enhancing cultural understanding, and driving the urgent action needed to safeguard our planet for future generations.
