This meeting took place a day after World Environment Day, in which Secretary-General, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres said: "It is time to act decisively.

Please find more information on the What Next? Climate Change subgroup here, including a link to sign up. June's WNCC meeting was our busiest yet, with more than 100 people signing up, and around 90 people attending on the day. About 50% of guests were joining for first time, with about 40% of those in the room having joined Culture Declares Emergency. We are really grateful to the British Council who hosted us and Bergit Arends, Curator & Researcher at Tate, who expertly chaired the meeting. Speakers and presentations Chiara Badiali from Julie's Bicycle, gave a policy update on climate and the environment, which can be Chris Gerrard from Culture Unstained, who gave an update on Fossil Free culture and the Art Not Oil activism and divestment campaigning they\u2019ve been organising Read Culture Unstained's Letter to Sadiq Khan signed by 200 musicians Kendall Robbins from British Council\u2019s Architecture, Design and Fashion Team looking at how design activism and cultural relations can be used to address global challenges Find out more about the Fashion Revolutionaries programme Bridget McKenzie from Flow Associates with an update on the Culture Declares Emergency project Read Bridget's blogpost spelling out some key ways that museums (and any cultural organisations) can be First Responders in the planetary emergency, and take direct action Lois Keidan from Live Art Development Agency on how to navigate activism with your board and throughout your organisations Check out the Take the Money and Run campaign, questioning how we make big private institutions accountable for their funding LADA also wish to share their Ethical Funding Policy and a link to Jane Towell\u2019s Study Room Guide Toby Peach an independent artist, sharing direct action activist projects he has worked on for Coney and Greenpeace, working with young people around the theme of air pollution Abbi Knell from Children's Investment Fund Foundation - on communicating how organisations navigate public facing activism Check out Abbi's blogpost summarising her presentation on climate activism Miranda Lowe from Museum Detox, on the importance of addressing power and privilege in narratives and action, and being a STEM ambassador in schools Find out about Miranda's recent collaboration with artist Kapwani Kawanga at EartH in Dalston within the Serpentine Gallery year long programme on Art and Ecology Other discussion points We also discussed the new Arts Council England 10 year strategy and how it crucially needs input from many individuals and organisations to ensure it addresses the context of climate breakdown in a fundamental way. Discussion groups considered how climate activism is interrelated with the history of empire, extraction and corruption. It was highlighted as a necessity for organisations to make a statement about the ethics and values of their practice from the position of senior management. The difficulty of needing senior management endorsement and reaching trustees was raised, and XR's last suppers were introduced as a way to get senior influencers together to discuss crucial issues of the climate crisis in a safe space and start to plan a strategy to address this.
