ENACT has decided to conduct an event to encourage individuals to create awareness about climate change through art. Here’s what you have to do!
ENACT is a forum intended to enable people to make links between climate change and its far-reaching implications. The Global Climate Risk Index by German Watch has identified India as the 5th most vulnerable country to Climate Change. A developing country like India cannot simply afford to ignore the disruptive nature of climate change. The time gap between our efforts & intervention and the results has rendered the immediacy of the problem elusive.
ENACT aims to create a climate literate society through dissemination of knowledge. We must become capable of making sense of the significance of the impact of climate change on us individually, the place we live in or the industry we work at. This is also done by imparting knowledge among the common people about various contemporary issues existing around them and at the global level. ENACT is also determined to help develop a better understanding and use research in science, economics and law as a tool to find solutions. Ultimately, it aims at building a sustainable world for all living beings. It does not end there, but it starts with us looking at climate solutions by creating a shift in human behaviour and our capacity to make such a transition.

COMMUNICATING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH ART
Art is considered as one of the most powerful tools of Communication. Many of us still see climate change as an abstract topic. We need to convince individuals to take action on Climate Change; not in the future, NOW! Art, in this context, will help us visualize the problem to people and give them a personal encounter regarding climate change. ENACT has decided to conduct an event to encourage individuals to create awareness about climate change through art. Here’s what you have to do!
