This paper discusses the multifaceted challenges of climate change by exploring the vigorous interplay of Literature, education, and art and how these elements act as creative tools by examining one work from each literature, education, and art. Annie Proulx's Barkskins, Murari Suvedi and Denny R. Johnson's Community-Based Learning for Sustainable Development and Ana Teresa Fernandez's art project Erasing the Border. This paper analyses through the lens of the Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) theory, the study emphasises the potential of creative expressions stimulating environment consciousness and action. Proulx's Barkskins provide a narrative lens into the ecological impacts of erosion and intervention, demonstrating the connection between humans and nature and the outcome of environmental exploitation. The educational framework of Suvedi and Johnson highlights the role of community commitment and sustainable learning practices in cultivating climate-conscious civilisation. Fernandez's Erasing the Border unsettles traditional insights of geographical divides it symbolises the flexibility of ecosystems and the essential requirement for transitional environmental harmony. The cultural ecosystem services theory contributes to the academic foundation, proclaiming the cultural values tied to ecosystems that shape human sensations and motivate pro-environmental behaviour. Altogether, the provided works indicate the role of literature, education, and art in amplifying understanding, arousing emotional vibrancy, and taking action together in the fight against climate change. This paper underscores the creative elements as focal in reconciling the scientific discourses and community engagement, prompting a reinterpreting of interdisciplinary proposals for sustainability.
