  • Creativity and creativity to imagine new ways of living and working to protect the environment. 
  • To tackle the climate crisis through a collective effort by encouraging organisations to prioritise carbon reduction and collaborate to make a difference.

What we will do

  • Find ways to share knowledge with everybody working in arts and heritage in our borough to empower them to reduce their carbon footprint socially, ethically and sustainably.
  • Encourage the use of cultural activities to educate and influence our communities about climate change, the need to reduce carbon footprints and the difference they can make.
  • Support and attract events that promote working towards being carbon neutral.
  • Signpost training and share expertise for creative practitioners and cultural organisations to support them to reduce their carbon footprint.
  • Encourage action on climate through our funding activities and programmes, encouraging partnership and collaboration to use and share resources and good practice to be part of our collective mission.

What difference it will make

Our creative and cultural sectors will be taking action for a better climate by 2030. They will increase their knowledge of sustainable practices, contributing to the borough's efforts to reach carbon neutrality.
