It is a free resource for everyone in the performing arts, working in any role and at all scales, providing a framework for planning, best practice guidance, a measurement system and shared standards.

Wherever possible use recycled materials to build or modify existing scenic elements, delivering you the same high-quality finish, but at a price that doesn't cost the world.

Climate change responsibilty

A range of psychological and external factors affect an audience’s response to content. Merely providing audiences with information is not enough to change behaviour. We need to tap into their existing values, attitudes and social norms. Habits are often the most important factor affecting behaviour.

The costume industry is inherently wasteful – a typical film or TV drama will use more clothing than the average person uses in their lifetime and will produce more waste in a week than the average household in a year.

However, an intrepid group of costume designers, buyers and designers are making changes to the way they work in order to make their industry less wasteful, more sustainable and better for everyone across the supply chain.

Elegy for the Arctic (extended version)

An ecological deficit occurs when the Ecological Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. A national ecological deficit means that the country is net-importing biocapacity through trade, liquidating national ecological assets or emitting more carbon dioxide waste into the atmosphere than its own ecosystems absorb. In contrast, an ecological reserve exists when the biocapacity of a region exceeds its population's Ecological Footprint.

[1.0] The List (2022) - a study of the species and environments we have lost and are losing

[2.0] but then you come to the humans (2024) - an examination of our need for connection in a separated world

In this age of disconnection, we must come together to comprehend what we are living through. Figures in Extinction is an attempt to find this unity, and ignite a collective spark of hope in the darkness.

Building upon thousands of hours of analysis by scientific experts from around the world, the Drawdown Explorer provides detailed information on the many technologies and practices proven or proposed to effectively reduce greenhouse warming pollution in the atmosphere.

The Drawdown Explorer analyses solutions in four categories:

• Highly Recommended: solutions that meet all of Project Drawdown’s criteria for global climate solutions

• Worthwhile: solutions that can still help mitigate climate change but do not meet the scale to be considered a major climate solution

• Keep Watching: solutions that have potential but are not yet available in the real world – or the technology still lacks clear effectiveness, evidence, or a reasonable cost – and are not yet ready to be deployed

• Not Recommended: solutions that, at the end of the day, we do not recommend as a climate solution, either because they are not scientifically plausible or they present a high level of risk.

This guide builds on the insights from the Super-Low Carbon Live Music report, by exploring ideas for communication and engaging more effectively around audience travel, offering a fresh take on a stubborn problem: how to positively influence the travel choices of live music audiences. It is designed as a practical resource for people working on live music and sustainability, and seeks to better engage audiences on travel choices.

Only a material and fundamental shift in practices and technology globally can prevent catastrophic climate change. How live music stakeholders and the industry as a whole embrace climate action is a part of this global response.

This document has three sections. Firstly, a discussion of the global and national climate change landscape that must be considered in setting a science based and equity guided roadmap for the UK live music industry. Secondly, a suite of targets are recommended across different areas of emissions in the sector and guidance on the recommended shifts in practices and technology that could be adopted to meet these. Thirdly, suggested actions for different groups across the sector.

We believe in the power of music to promote the cultural change needed to create a better future.

The Music Industry Climate Pack is a guide to action for all participants in the industry, including artists, producers, venues, managers, and music lovers.

The public interest and media attention has resulted in more political pressure than ever before to effect change and has led to significant ground-breaking approaches to prevention and remedy, with the establishment of the binding Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh and the Rana Plaza Arrangement involving all major stakeholders, meant to compensate the survivors and the families of the killed workers.

The immense difficulty in establishing which brands produced at Rana Plaza sparked an intense movement to create more transparency in the garment industry.

The play dramatizes how Big Oil, having learned about the risk of climate change, use legal tricks and misinformation through their representative Don Pearlman in an attempt to protect their profits. Through the determination of key representatives agreement is reached – the Kyoto Protocol.
