As the world’s leaders convene every year for Climate Week and the UN General Assembly in New York, we have created a yearly rendezvous with large murals that bring fresh energy and new perspectives to the climate conversation.
Created in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Climate Group, this Climate Action Outdoor Museum transforms the city into a vibrant “green” art walk, stretching from Hudson Yards to the High Line. This evolving exhibit uses the universal language of art to inspire action and foster unity during one of the most critical moments for our planet, to inspire everybody to be an ally for our planet.
Discover the murals:
