Design a Climate Action Mural - ages 11-25

The Grantham Institute has been running a biennial project, the Grantham Climate Art Prize, to engage young people who will be most affected by climate change, in making bold, hopeful statements about the need to urgently tackle the climate crisis.

This year’s art prize theme is ‘Palette for the Planet: visions of a cooler, greener future world’.

Young people who participate in workshops will create images of their vision of a carbon neutral future. A climate scientist will invite young people to draw on the Grantham Institute’s 9 things you can do about climate change, which include reducing energy use, taking active travel and protecting nature and green spaces.
