Preface

Global warming and climate change is one of the biggest and most urgent challenges facing the world today. It is not just governments and business sectors that have a role to play in meeting this challenge. Every one of us can contribute. How we live our lives now, and the daily choices we make, can make a real difference to the future of our climate.

Organised by Fingertips Company Limited and Asian Art Association, sponsored by Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), “Art on Climate” is an international illustration competition held right across the world that aims to bring greater visibility to the issue of action against climate change.

The competition was first launched in Spain in 2019, and extended its footprint to the Asia-Pacific region in 2021, attracting over 1,300 artworks from more than 1,000 illustrators. In 2022, the competition’s footprint has been expanded to cover more regions, including various European countries, the US and more countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The competition provides a platform for illustrators and students to showcase their talents and skills.

AllianzGI, a leading asset manager in the development of sustainable investment, is committed to limiting global warming and ensuring a smooth transition to a low-carbon future. The 2022 competition aims to bring greater visibility to the issue of climate change, thereby contributing to achieving the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement.
