Canary Project on Rising Sea Levels

The Canary Project produces visual media, events, and artwork that builds public understanding of human-induced climate change and energize commitment to solutions.  Their strategy includes a mix of education and action, as they work to:

  • Visualize global warming in compelling ways that leverage data and communicate a sense of urgency.
  • Integrate the tools of art with those of science, education, mass communication and other disciplines that enhance our ability to engage diverse audiences.
  • Investigate questions lying at the root of our current ecological crisis and provoke reflection on those questions.
  • Cultivate media attention to further inform a broad public and to create excitement around the issue.
  • Distribute information on concrete actions people can take to cut carbon emissions and lead people to take more action.
