The Marrakech Partnership Accelerator gathered 50+ cultural practitioners, Indigenous leaders, creatives, researchers, and policymakers to co-create Draft 1.0 of the first-ever Culture Global Stocktake for Climate Action. A policy tool designed to do one thing: embed culture into climate decision-making.
A huge thank you to the Youth Climate Justice Fund for their catalyzing support of the accelerator and to the British Council, British Council Maroc, and the Goethe Institute for supporting the cultural programming.
