Scientists

Cape Farewell exists because Director David Buckland read an article by a NASA scientist who said the window of opportunity for dealing with climate change was very short, perhaps less than 10 years. Cape Farewell is founded on the belief that dealing with climate change culturally or at least subjectively means there is a chance of achieving success is getting this movement started, where governments have perhaps failed.

Since it's conception, the knowledge about climate change and science research has directly influenced the programme of activity. Our expeditions are led by the science and the artwork and ideas that develop are founded in scientific research.
