The People's Climate Foundation is an Ontario, Canada-based non-profit organization dedicated to empowering a creative cultural response to global climate change. Our organization was founded on the understanding that Arts and Culture continues to play a crucial role in shaping society's response to many issues of social concern, including the incredible importance of building an inspired and engaged social response to a rapidly changing climate.
Our organization hosts and supports a wide variety of powerful, creative events for climate action - both public and private - to better engage our communities on this crucial, evolving issue. For more see event types.

OUR VISION
At PCF, we acknowledge the incredible gifts of our shared global climate system that truly nurtures and sustains all life, including human society. We also express the deepest concern that this system is currently being radically disrupted due to global human industrial pollution, undermining its ability to continue to sustain life into the future as it has in the past for countless generations. By jeopardizing the very stability of a key Earth System that has sustained us for all of human history, we are in fact dangerously jeopardizing our own place and future survival on this planet.
Enter the power of the arts and artists, as critical storytellers in a time of momentous change. A creative response is clearly needed to help us better communicate and re-inspire a far more desirable “safe climate future” – a future where human society and nature are no longer seen to be antagonistic forces that are moving in opposing directions, but instead are each given the space to thrive in harmony once again.
