London’s leading institutions and contemporary art galleries are coming together this autumn to launch a new five day event, London Art+Climate Week, with the inaugural edition set for 12-16 November 2025.   Learn more about the full programme and event bookings.

London Art+Climate Week sees over 25 participants present more than 30 exhibitions and events over five days. All events are free and open to the public. All exhibitions are free or can be accessed for free during particular times in the programme.

A first for the UK capital, this climate action oriented initiative represents an industry wide acknowledgement of responsibility in driving change through capturing the public imagination on this vital issue. 

The initiative comes at a pivotal moment, both amidst slackening global attention to the crisis and coinciding with COP30, the UN’s global climate summit and a milestone in the international climate calendar this year taking place from 10-21 November in Brazil.

A network of 2,000+ arts organisations and individuals in 60+ countries, GCC is committed to reducing the carbon impact of the visual art sector by 50% by 2030. Presented as part of GCC’s 5th anniversary celebrations, Art+Climate Week is composed exclusively of GCC members, many of whom have achieved “Active” membership status by adopting environmentally responsible best practice including annual carbon reporting and setting up internal green teams. 

What to expect

The exhibitions and events are divided into three focussed digital trails South, East and West. Hosted on gowithYamo’s free digital platform, it is simple for audiences to discover, plan, and engage with the programme across the city. 

Over the dynamic five day event, London Art+Climate Week will present a rich public programme of independent discussions, family workshops, guided tours, and activations on the topic of climate and environment, produced by a diverse network of London’s top galleries, institutions and non-profits. 

From the personal to the global, the exhibitions in London Art+Climate Week explore diverse perspectives relating to climate change, provoking contemplation on our relationship with the natural world and intersectional themes relating to power, history and social change.
