The search for decisive actions to remain below 1.5 °C of global temperature rise will require profound cultural transformations. Yet our knowledge of how to promote and bring about such deep transformative changes in the minds and behaviours of individuals and societies is still limited. As climate change unravels and the planet becomes increasingly connected, societies will need to articulate a shared purpose that is both engaging and respectful of cultural diversity. Thus, there is a growing need to ‘raise the temperature’ of integration between multiple ways of knowing climate change. We have reviewed a range of literatures and synthesized them in order to draw out the perceived role of the arts in fostering climate transformations. Our analysis of climate-related art projects and initiatives shows increased engagement in recent years, particularly with the narrative, visual and performing arts. The arts are moving beyond raising awareness and entering the terrain of interdisciplinarity and knowledge co-creation. We conclude that climate-arts can contribute positively in fostering the imagination and emotional predisposition for the development and implementation of the transformations necessary to address the 1.5 °C challenge.

寻求采取决定性行动以保持在全球温度上升以下1.5°C以下，将需要深刻的文化变革。然而，我们对如何促进和实现个人和社会的思想和行为的深刻变革的认识仍然有限。随着气候变化的恶化和地球之间的联系越来越紧密，社会将需要阐明一个共同的目标，既吸引人又尊重文化多样性。因此，越来越需要“提高了解气候变化的多种方式之间的整合的温度”。我们回顾了一系列文献并对它们进行了综合，以得出艺术在促进气候变化中的感知作用。我们对与气候有关的艺术项目和计划的分析表明，近年来参与度有所提高，特别是叙事，视觉和表演艺术。艺术已经超越了提高意识，进入跨学科和知识共创的领域。我们得出的结论是，气候艺术可以为培养和解决1.5°C挑战所必需的转变，促进想象力和情感倾向的发展。
