Executive Summary<\/p> \r\n

\r\n\r\n

Climate change is here.<\/strong> It is already affecting our lives and those of our communities. Arts Council England\u2019s National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) recognise this and are taking bold steps towards environmental responsibility<\/strong>, finding creative ways to take action together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this report we\u2019ll share inspiring examples from across the sector alongside environmental reporting results from the first year of the new portfolio (2023-26). Analysis of the self-reported data, carbon impacts, and environmental measures submitted by 591 organisations provides a clear snapshot of where the creative and cultural sector stands today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

Environmental data gathered from Julie\u2019s Bicycle\u2019s Creative Climate Tools<\/a> (CC Tools) indicates that waste1<\/sup> has surged to the forefront as a major contributor of indirect emissions2<\/sup> .<\/p>\n

In addition to taking action on their measured carbon impacts, the sector is using its influence to engage audiences and stakeholders with environmental action. Many organisations are exploring environmental themes through their exhibitions, shows, events and educational activities. Biodiversity is getting a boost too, with organisations planning programmes and events that focus on nature and using outside space to help bring environmental awareness into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

Organisations are not just talking the talk \u2013 they\u2019re embedding sustainability into their very core<\/strong>, appointing environmental champions to their governance boards, integrating environmental considerations into policies, developing green riders, training staff, and sharing knowledge with their peers. Reporting shows that this has led to rewards such as boosts in team morale, financial benefits and funding opportunities.<\/p>\n

The path ahead is challenging, but with active collaboration and resource sharing, the sector is building confidence and making tangible progress toward decarbonisation and sustainability. The push for a greener future is on, and the creative and cultural sector is leading the charge.<\/p>\n

\r\n The case for culture and climate is no longer in any doubt. But how<\/strong> it is done is the real challenge. And here it is, testament to the abundance of creative content, organisational change, and outspoken narratives<\/strong> on climate, nature and justice from National Portfolio Organisations. This report is a celebration of steady and progressive cultural transformation. <\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\n
