A slither of hope: 'artivists' bring colour and snake-themed protest to Cop29
Briefly

The Artivist Network aims to enliven the dull atmosphere of UN summits like Cop29 by using art to promote significant messages about climate change and activism.
This week at Cop29, the Artivist Network created a provocative installation featuring a giant serpent, symbolizing the need to remove fossil fuel lobbyists from the negotiations.

The activists' efforts included an exhibition commemorating murdered environmental defenders, amplifying the shrinking voice of civil society at UN discussions.
