An afternoon of conversation around the types of leadership, practices and policies that are vital to realising the true potential of the arts in times of climate breakdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware of the challenges we face due to climate change, but still it is difficult for most of us to change ingrained behaviour. We believe that arts and culture are vital resources for behavioural change and has a role to play when it comes to climate change. We are therefore proud to support Julie\u2019s Bicycle in their work to focus on cultural leadership development for climate action in Sweden and the Scandinavian region.\u201d – <\/span><\/em>Marie Dahll\u00f6f, Secretary General at Postkodstiftelsen<\/p>\n

About the Creative Climate Leadership Program<\/h2>\n

Between 2021 and 2022 two leadership programmes took place with pioneering arts and cultural practitioners at the forefront of climate action. Centred around climate justice, 50 of Scandinavia\u2019s creative change-makers came together to explore leadership, justice and sustainable practice in the context of a rapidly diminishing opportunity to keep temperatures below 1.5 degrees of warming. Culture – the arts, heritage and creative industries \u2013 has been missing from climate and justice solutions at all levels. This in spite of a growing global mobilisation of culture on climate. Julie\u2019s Bicycle<\/strong>, Diego Galafassi<\/strong> and funded by Svenska Postkodstiftelse<\/strong>n hosted two Creative Climate leadership programmes. This event will celebrate the CCL alumni through showcase, performance and conversations at Sigtuna Stiftelsen<\/strong>. With speakers from art, science and policy we will explore what needs to change so culture can help meet the Scandinavian regions\u2019 commitment to a safe, just world as set out in the IPCC 6th assessment report.

\u201cIt was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people who have similar concerns to myself around climate and environment and are trying to figure out how the \u2018creative industries\u2019 address these issues.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0– <\/span>CCL Alumni<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CCL course has given me a much clearer understanding of climate change as an ethical, socio-economic and political issue and of how my thinking around equality, human rights, collective rights and environmental justice interrelate.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0– <\/span>CCL Alumni<\/p>\n
