The Creative Ireland Programme

The Creative Ireland Programme is an all-of-government initiative based in the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, running from 2017 to 2027. It aims to place creativity at the centre of public policy and to promote individual, community and national wellbeing through culture-based programmes.

One of the pillars of its work is Creative Climate Action and Sustainability. The goal is to place culture at the vanguard of climate change. The programme seeks to harness the power of the arts, culture, and wider creative sectors to communicate the impact of the climate crisis in imaginative engaging ways.

The Creative Ireland Programme led on the delivery of the first Creative Climate Action Fund which was launched in March 2021. 166 applications were received from a diverse range of organisations and consortiums across the country of which 15 projects were selected to receive funding. These projects engaged multiple diverse audiences around the country including farming communities, rural communities, and inner-city communities. They used a variety of creative mediums and approaches including co-creation and embedded artists. Information on the funded projects can be found here.
