Summary

• This chapter shares insights from five arts and humanities-led UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) projects, presenting key learnings and pathways for future research and policy interventions. • We highlight the significant potential of place-based arts and human-ities approaches for working with and engaging communities in building climate resilience and driving climate action. • We underline the importance of generating genuine two-way dialogue, knowledge exchange and co-creation between academics, practitioners, and community members. • We point to the importance of robustly and reflexively assessing the effectiveness of arts and humanities-led engagement. • We argue that working collectively to develop more integrated climate and arts/cultural policy is imperative for supporting future long-term climate resilience.
