Effective strategies to learn about and engage with climate change play an important role in addressing this challenge. There is a growing recognition that education needs to change in order to address climate change, yet the question remains “how?” How does one engage young people with a topic that is perceived as abstract, distant, and complex, and which at the same time is contributing to growing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety among them? In this paper, I argue that although the important contributions that the arts and humanities can make to this challenge are widely discussed, they remain an untapped or underutilized potential. I then present a novel framework and demonstrate its use in schools. Findings from a high school in Portugal point to the central place that art can play in climate change education and engagement more general, with avenues for greater depth of learning and transformative potential. The paper provides guidance for involvement in, with, and through art and makes suggestions to create links between disciplines to support meaning-making, create new images, and metaphors and bring in a wider solution space for climate change. Going beyond the stereotypes of art as communication and mainstream climate change education, it offers teachers, facilitators, and researchers a wider portfolio for climate change engagement that makes use of the multiple potentials of the arts.

通过艺术了解气候变化

了解和参与气候变化的有效战略在应对这一挑战方面发挥着重要作用。人们越来越认识到教育需要改变以应对气候变化，但问题仍然是“如何改变？” 如何让年轻人参与一个被认为是抽象、遥远和复杂的话题，同时又会导致他们越来越感到悲伤、绝望和焦虑？在这篇论文中，我认为虽然艺术和人文学科可以为这一挑战做出的重要贡献被广泛讨论，但它们仍然是未开发或未充分利用的潜力。然后，我提出了一个新颖的框架并演示了它在学校中的使用。葡萄牙一所高中的调查结果表明，艺术可以在气候变化教育和更广泛的参与中发挥核心作用，为更深入的学习和变革潜力提供途径。该论文为参与、参与和通过艺术提供指导，并提出建议以在学科之间建立联系，以支持意义创造、创造新的图像和隐喻，并为气候变化带来更广泛的解决方案空间。它超越了艺术作为传播和主流气候变化教育的刻板印象，为教师、促进者和研究人员提供了更广泛的气候变化参与组合，利用艺术的多重潜力。并通过艺术和建议在学科之间建立联系，以支持意义创造、创造新的图像和隐喻，并为气候变化带来更广泛的解决方案空间。它超越了艺术作为传播和主流气候变化教育的刻板印象，为教师、促进者和研究人员提供了更广泛的气候变化参与组合，利用艺术的多重潜力。并通过艺术和建议在学科之间建立联系，以支持意义创造、创造新的图像和隐喻，并为气候变化带来更广泛的解决方案空间。它超越了艺术作为传播和主流气候变化教育的刻板印象，为教师、促进者和研究人员提供了更广泛的气候变化参与组合，利用艺术的多重潜力。
