Beyond Sustainability – Radical Reimagination and Creative Responses to the Climate

“Thanks to the work of organisations such as Julie’s Bicycle and BAFTA’s albert, many cultural institutions and organisations are embracing environmental responsibility, and reducing their carbon footprint. The UK’s 2050 net zero target provides a clear societal goal, regardless of the current government’s prevarication. But flipping the narrative about the inevitable societal transitions that are unfolding goes far beyond decarbonising outputs and mitigating emissions where culture is traditionally housed. Artists and creative practitioners are essential to surmounting society’s imagination deficit. But harnessing this potential is going to require the cultural sector to go beyond sustainability at the highest levels.”
