28 arts agencies around the world
The World Weather Network was an alliance of 28 arts agencies around the world formed in response to the climate crisis and biodiversity loss.

Climate Dispatches from the London Review of Books
From 1 July, every other Friday for a year, the London Review of Books (LRB) will contribute a new literary dispatch about the weather in each one of the Network’s locations – reportage, essays, occasionally poetry – which will be published on the LRB blog and the WWN website alongside artwork generated by the Network, and in the monthly WWN newsletter.
