Art will neither avert nor mitigate climate change. But it is short-sighted to underestimate its potential contribution. For so far, we are not failing in climate protection because of the helplessness of science or technological inability – we are failing because of ourselves. We know quite well what the problem is and what we have to do about it, we are simply not ready (yet?). And this is exactly where art can make a difference. It can help us to look at things differently and to develop a different consciousness. It can help us to anchor new values and find new ways.
