Med’action
Art for Clim’Act is a project to act against the socioeconomic impacts of climate change through the creation of an artistic, participative and common awareness campaign in all the Mediterranean. Led by duos of artists and activists in Egypt, France, Greece and Tunisia, Art for Clim’Act aims at creating a space for dialogue between civil society and policy makers by fostering advocacy around environmental issues.
