Uniting Artists and Scientists for Climate Action

Uniting Artists and Scientists for Climate Action (UASCA) 

We unite visual and performing artists, scientists, educators, and environmental and community organizations to enable individuals and communities to understand, prepare and recover from the effects of climate change, in protecting their health and the environments on which we depend.

Guided by principles of kinship, reciprocity, and stewardship — including philosophies rooted in Indigenous traditions —we bring art and science together to expand public understanding of climate change and inspire collective action. USACA supports the United Nations global indicator framework for Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 13: taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This includes strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters (13.1). It also includes improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigations, adaptation, impact reductions and early warning (13.3). These goals directly support individuals and communities to better prepare and respond to climate events, from flooding to wildfires.
