Is your creative organisation adapting plans, programmes, projects or ways of working in response to current and future changes in climate?
Join a peer-sharing session that invites you to share insights, learnings and experiences with a community of future-focused organisations tackling the current and anticipated impacts of climate change.
Date: Thursday 19th October, 11-12:30pm. (online)
Adapting to climate change
Our organisations, ways of working and the communities we collaborate with will all be affected in different ways by the changing climate. In our process of adapting to the impacts of climate change, it’s vital to identify the most affected groups and locations. We need to identify collaborative steps needed to tackle these challenges.
In response to UK government strategy, local authorities have been crafting adaptation plans to bolster resilience against climate change. You might already be engaging with these plans to generate innovative and imaginative responses and activities in reaction to this challenge. We’re keen to hear from organisations of all sizes and scopes – whether you’re a small-scale cultural entity, a touring company, or a larger organisation based in a physical space, your input is valuable to us.
Bring something to share that you’ve tried – whether it worked or not! We’ll facilitate a discussion of shared learning and mutual inspiration.
Who can join?
To help guide expressions of interest please consider the following questions:
- Have you considered how day-to-day operations of your building or organisation now and in the future might be affected by the impacts of climate change? Have you / your organisation made a start in addressing these?
- How are you thinking about or working towards adapting your organisation to changes in the future climate?
- Are you working within your community to develop place-based responses to adapt to the impacts that you’re seeing and anticipating in the future?
- Have you directly implemented adaptations to, or are you currently in the process of modifying the work you create, programme, or tour due to climate change
