Media Education – Green Arts Charter
In 2025 we signed the Green Arts Charter to commit to collective climate action. We are working towards each pledge via a framework of actions.
We pledge to inspire our communities and collaborate with others to deliver climate action. We pledge to collaborate with others within the Green Arts Initiative to achieve collective climate action by sharing resources, learning and tools among the network. We understand the importance of strengthening communities and collaborating to deliver effective climate action, and that as cultural organisations we have a unique power to support this. We endeavor to work with our local communities, cultural community and those outside the cultural sector to deliver climate action and resilience.
We pledge to reduce our emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. We will question the ways we work, the impact we have on our planet, and how our organisation sits within wider society’s climate change mitigation and adaptation. As part of this, we will endeavor to reduce our impact as well as recognise that as trusted messengers in our communities we have a responsibility to shape and promote a net-zero future.
We pledge to advocate for climate action and influence for change. We recognise the power of the arts and culture sector to influence and advocate for action on climate change. We pledge to embed this in our workplans and recognise our ability to influence and support climate action within the cultural community and outside the sector.
We pledge to embed climate justice in our organisation and any climate action we do. The term climate justice expresses how climate change is a social and political issue as much as a technical or environmental one and therefore speaks to the importance of the cultural sector’s role in a climate-ready future. We pledge to view all our climate action through a justice lens, asking how what we do, who we work with and the way we work impacts people locally and globally.
