What We’re Building

Climate House is developing civic and cultural infrastructure for change, harnessing the world-building power of art and culture alongside policy.

Each initiative stages creative interventions toward better worlds across arts, culture, and policy. Our work strives to create conditions that cultivate a politics of care and reclaim collective authorship over our shared worlds.

Public Programs & Museum Initiatives

We develop cultural programs that bring climate policy into public, cultural, and civic spaces, as well as marketplaces. These initiatives transform complex policy questions into tangible opportunities to create meaningful change.

Each initiative is paired with companion media and audience-tailored toolkits, enabling engagement that outlives the program.

We are currently focused on preparing for the launch of our Los Angeles climate museum pilot hub and its inaugural programming.

Narrative & Media Platforms

Media is not separate from policy. It is how translation travels.

Climate House is developing robust sonic infrastructure, print, and screen-based formats staging creative interventions for change. These platforms emphasize universal and creative sensory language while platforming opportunities for material protection of nature and its inhabitants.

For example, our Sonic Infrastructure Program explores policy for its material and sonic consequences. Immersive soundscapes produced under this program serve simultaneously as an artistic narrative device and as a tool for material protections: e.g., attributing intellectual property rights to ecosystems for their stewardship, serving as an acoustic forensic tool for advocacy purposes.

Policy Infrastructure & Toolkits

Across initiatives, Climate House produces audience-tailored toolkits to enhance policy literacy and support real-world action, including:

  • Model legislative and policy frameworks

  • Supply chain alternatives

  • Educational curricula

  • Modular program kits for institutions and community groups

  • Public-facing policy literacy tools

Toolkits are designed to be adaptable and creatively engaging, usable by partners, educators, organizers, and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Research & Development Pipeline

Climate House maintains an active R&D pipeline responding to emerging policy opportunities, creative interventions, and climate realities. This ensures our work remains nimble, research-rooted, and policy-relevant over time.

We only supportresearch-backed, ecologically responsive, and rights-based initiatives that advance a just transition away from extractive economies. Climate House does not support false solutions that prolong the fossil fuel era.

Climate House initiatives are at varying stages of development — from research and piloting to partnership and fundraising. Climate House is also committed to reducing the climate impact of its programs, leveraging assessment tools by organizations such as Artists Commit and reporting its findings on an ongoing basis.
