Creative Climate Leadership Conference at COP24
December 6, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 5:30 pm
While the international climate change negotiations take place in Katowice, we gather artists and those working in the arts and creative industries to share their inspirational projects, and tell the story of how culture and creativity are a critical part of the solution to climate change and other environmental challenges.
As our Creative Europe co-funded project draws to a close, this event will weave together the learning, creativity, and experiences of the Creative Climate Leadership programme and lay the foundations for what comes next.
We will explore the different ways artists and creative professionals are engaging with questions of climate change and environmental sustainability: from reducing the environmental impact of their own work, to programming, experimentation, creativity and design spilling over into environmental themes. We will discuss what it will take to support and scale up this work across the globe, how we can work effectively in different political and cultural contexts, and how we make visible the Creative Climate movement across the world.
Full agenda and timings TBC.
Who is this event for?
Artists and creative professionals, individuals working at cultural and educational institutions, culture and environment funders, national and regional policymakers, political and civic participants attending the COP24 international climate change conference in neighbouring Katowice – anyone who wants to learn more and be immersed and inspired by the spectrum of creative action on climate change and other environmental challenges.

How do I get there?
If you’re in Katowice for COP24, travelling to Kraków to join the Creative Climate Leadership event is easy.
You can:
- Take a train from Katowice train station to Kraków Glowny train station, which takes around 2 hours and costs 35 PLN (ca 8 EURO)
- Take a flixbus from Katowice bus station to Kraków MDA, which takes just over 1 hour and costs from 2 EURO (prices may go up if fewer seats are available)
Teatr Laznia Nowa is around a half hour tram journey from the train station (which is also where the flixbus terminates). Trams run every few minutes. Take the number 5 eight stops towards Wzgorza Krzeslawi to stop Czyzyny, then take the number 73 four stops towards Kopiec Wandy to stop Struga. The theatre is ca 500m or 7 minutes’ walk from the stop. 40-minute tram tickets cost PLN 3,80 per journey (ca 0.88 EURO).
Remember to stamp/validate your tram ticket on boarding!
