Public Climate 'Art + Purpose’ Activations
Climate change is about more than just the weather. It impacts many environmental, social, and biodiversity issues that increasingly affect our health, our economies, and the way we live our lives. Now, more than ever, we need immersive ways to demonstrate how all people can play a major role in safeguarding our planet for future generations.
Since 2016, GreenPoint has teamed up with artists, international organizations, businesses, governments, not for profits, communities, cities, and people, to drive climate action by informing and inspiring communities through high-caliber public art projects - e.g. murals/street art, installations, theatrical events, among others. We integrate these climate art activations with awareness campaigns about nature-based and cleantech solutions as examples for a sustainable future (e.g., renewable energy, tree planting, eco-friendly products, carbon neutrality, carbon-free transportation, among others.

In September 2019, Greenpoint Innovations (GPI - www.greenpoint.international) launched GreenPoint EARTH to serve as GPI’s creative 'art plus purpose' hub to advance climate goals and nature-based solutions through public art and cleantech activations. to produce awareness-raising and inspiring activations during the major international climate convenings such as the UN Climate Change Conference, UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit, and Climate Week NYC. Project collaborators and supporters have included:
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
UNICEF
Wildlife Conservation Society

We believe that by making local and global environmental issues more individually relevant, people can be empowered to make a big difference.
