A timely introduction to the fields of environmental art, art and ecology, art and climate change, art and activism, and art in the Anthropocene. Global awareness of climate change is increasing, and the scientific evidence is incontrovertible: an environmental crisis is upon us. Art and Climate Change presents an overview of ecologically conscious contemporary art that addresses the climate emergency, as artists across the world call for an active, collective engagement with the planet, and illuminate some of the structures that threaten humanity's survival.

Across five chapters, curators Maja and Reuben Fowkes examine artworks that respond to the Anthropocene and its detrimental impact on our world, from scenes of nature decimated by ongoing extinction events and landscapes turned to waste by extraction, to art from marginalized communities most affected by the injustice of climate change. What guides the artists gathered together here is an ardent concern for the living, breathing subject of the Earth and all fellow terrestrials caught up in this fast-moving climate drama.

本书适时出版，介绍了环境艺术、艺术与生态学、艺术与气候变化、艺术与行动主义以及人类世的艺术等领域。全球对气候变化的认识正在提高，科学证据无可争议：环境危机正在向我们袭来。《艺术与气候变化》概述了具有生态意识的当代艺术，这些艺术解决了气候紧急情况，世界各地的艺术家呼吁大家积极参与地球保护中，并阐明了一些威胁人类生存的结构。

在五个章节中，策展人玛雅（Maja）和鲁本·福克斯（Reuben Fowkes）审视了反映人类世及其有害影响的艺术作品，如因为不断发生的物种灭绝事件和过度开采而遭受毁坏的自然景象，来自受气候变化影响较大的边缘化社区的艺术。这些艺术家因对地球以及所有被卷入这场快速发展的气候剧变中的陆地生物的热切关注，而聚集于此。
