We believe science and engineering – including the conceptualisation, design and delivery of research as well as the innovations that follow – are cultural practices. This means that artists, creative practitioners and the arts and humanities (ACAH) can have a key role to play to help the CO2RE Hub achieve our objectives.

In order to support engagement and collaborations with the ACAH Community, the CO2RE Hub developed a funding initiative and launched a call for proposals. The seven CO2RE Arts project that were selected not only substantively address GGR, but also offer additional benefits to the environment, society and communities through:  

• Envisioning a positive future
• Increasing understanding or awareness of GGR
• Supporting knowledge exchange between artists, creative and cultural producers, humanities researchers, scientists and policy makers
• Working with communities and encourage engagement with young people
• Engaging with issues of equity and justice
• Working with ritualistic thinking to inform or create processes of change
• Situating GGR in wider environmental work
