The road to COP30 will be powered by imagination, solidarity, and art that transforms.

Humanity is headed for 2.3–2.5°C of warming. And the countries most affected are those least responsible.
📉 UNEP’s “Emissions Gap Report 2025: Off Target” warns that the world is not on track to meet the 1.5°C goal. Even if all current pledges are implemented, we’re headed for 2.3–2.5°C of warming.
