Now in its ninth year, the group addresses global, systemic challenges to living and working sustainably using local, practical solutions.   \u201cLondon Theatre Consortium has a proven commitment to energy and emission reduction going back nearly a decade. As acceptance of the climate emergency has become mainstream, rather than marginal, LTC theatres have been strongly positioned to ramp up their leadership and practice. The long, deep partnership with Julie\u2019s Bicycle has enabled a really dynamic progression of our work together - our ambitious roadmap to 2025 and an explosion of creative projects across the theatres. I expect our work to be even more transformational and sector-leading in the years ahead.\u201d   Lucy Davies, Executive Producer - Royal Court, Chair - London Theatre Consortium    In 2018, LTC organised its first Artists Climate Lab, a week for theatre-makers selected by LTC member\u2019s Artistic Directors exploring what it means to make art in the context of climate change, the challenges artists face and how they can respond. It was curated and led by three individuals from the Young Vic, Royal Court, Gate Theatre and the Donmar Warehouse, alumni of Julie\u2019s Bicycle\u2019s Creative Climate Leadership programme. The lab was part of the Season for Change 2018, a UK-wide programme of cultural responses celebrating the environment and inspiring urgent action on climate change. LTC has shared reflections on the first climate lab, which had its second incarnation in 2019. The Lab had funding from Arts Council England and was supported by Hawkwood College. Zero carbon roadmap With support from Accelerator, a strand of Arts Council England\u2019s Environmental Programme, LTC is developing a roadmap for achieving its 60% carbon reduction by 2025 in line with London targets (with over 40% already achieved), alongside continued development of the role that LTC theatres can play in tackling wider environmental issues. With support from Julie\u2019s Bicycle, LTC continues to develop pathways to achieving its targets and is deepening collaboration with the Greater London Authority\u2019s Culture and Environment teams. Four LTC theatres are also participating in Spotlight - another strand of Arts Council England\u2019s Environmental Programme focused on building energy and carbon reduction - and the group is now looking at how to apply Spotlight learnings (target-setting and zero carbon pathways) across its theatres.  In 2019, one of LTC\u2019s members, the Royal Court Theatre, announced a commitment to going even further and faster and transitioning to a Carbon Net Zero Arts Venue throughout 2020. The operational changes will start with The Site - a performance space for experimental work - with the aim of making it net zero carbon by March 2020 to coincide with the start of Open Court: Climate Emergency. These changes will be then applied to the main building as it transitions to a net zero arts venue through 2020 and onwards. Programming climate conversations LTC members have done a wide range of environmentally-themed programming and productions. Examples range from the Royal Court\u2019s Climate Change: What Do You Want Me To Say - a short film made in partnership with the Financial Times featuring Nicola Walker; the Bush Theatre\u2019s F**k the Polar Bears, and; the Unicorn\u2019s Critical Conversations focused on young people and climate action. Many LTC theatres also run awareness-raising and engagement campaigns for their staff and audiences. Examples include the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre\u2019s #FoodforThought, taking a closer look at the environmental impact of food, and #PlasticFreeLyric, Young Vic\u2019s #MarchonPlastic and the Kiln Theatre\u2019s electronics recycling campaign.

In 2019, over a third of the LTC members achieved a five-star Creative Green certification - the highest rating, including the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre which achieved the highest ever individual Creative Green score to date.

With support from Julie\u2019s Bicycle, LTC continues to develop pathways to achieving its targets and is deepening collaboration with the Greater London Authority\u2019s Culture and Environment teams. Four LTC theatres are also participating in Spotlight - another strand of Arts Council England\u2019s Environmental Programme focused on building energy and carbon reduction - and the group is now looking at how to apply Spotlight learnings (target-setting and zero carbon pathways) across its theatres. In 2019, one of LTC\u2019s members, the Royal Court Theatre, announced a commitment to going even further and faster and transitioning to a Carbon Net Zero Arts Venue throughout 2020. The operational changes will start with The Site - a performance space for experimental work - with the aim of making it net zero carbon by March 2020 to coincide with the start of Open Court: Climate Emergency. These changes will be then applied to the main building as it transitions to a net zero arts venue through 2020 and onwards. Programming climate conversations LTC members have done a wide range of environmentally-themed programming and productions. Examples range from the Royal Court\u2019s Climate Change: What Do You Want Me To Say - a short film made in partnership with the Financial Times featuring Nicola Walker; the Bush Theatre\u2019s F**k the Polar Bears, and; the Unicorn\u2019s Critical Conversations focused on young people and climate action. Many LTC theatres also run awareness-raising and engagement campaigns for their staff and audiences. Examples include the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre\u2019s #FoodforThought, taking a closer look at the environmental impact of food, and #PlasticFreeLyric, Young Vic\u2019s #MarchonPlastic and the Kiln Theatre\u2019s electronics recycling campaign.

In 2019, over a third of the LTC members achieved a five-star Creative Green certification - the highest rating, including the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre which achieved the highest ever individual Creative Green score to date. LTC won the \u2018Commitment\u2019 Award at the 2019 Creative Green Awards for a decade of work on sustainability showcasing joint climate leadership, best practice and creativity.
