Synopsis
This art gallery displays a compelling portrayal of climate change in the United States, including its causes, impacts, and the strength of our collective response.
Students will see the winners of the U.S. Global Change Research Program art contest, as well as the complete collection, each with its narrative describing the climate issue or solution depicted.
Use the youth entries in this gallery, some of which were award-winners, to empower students to create art.
View the collection as a whole or select individual pieces to emphasize the current topic for instruction. There are pieces to extend discussions about environmental racism, biodiversity, sea level rise, wildfires, pollution, and many other climate change topics.
