The USC Arts & Climate Collective (ACC) empowers students to use arts and storytelling as mediums to address diverse issues within sustainability, including environmental justice, climate change, health and wellness, and more. By providing funding and guidance, uplifting creative work, and building community within and beyond the USC campus, the ACC drives shared commitment around sustainability and develops essential mindsets and skills that prepare students for long-term success in their creative, professional, and advocacy endeavors.

The ACC is a collaboration among the Presidential Working Group on Sustainability (from which the ACC originated), the USC Office of Sustainability, the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab, USC Arts In Action, and the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
