Environmental Pledge
We D6: Culture in Transit declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency.
We pledge to work with and support our community and local government in tackling this Emergency, and we call on others to do the same.
Our Environmental Policy sets out our commitment to achieve environmental sustainability across our working environment and practice. We have developed a comprehensive Environmental Action Plan and are calculating our carbon footprint in order to gain a better understanding of our impact on the environment. We will continue to measure and control our impact.
These are our intentions:
1. We will tell the Truth
Governments, and their public broadcasters and cultural agencies, must tell the truth about the Climate and Ecological Emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and communicate the urgency for far-reaching systemic change.
We will communicate with citizens and support them to discover the truth about the Emergency and the changes that are needed.
2. We will take Action
Governments must enact legally binding policy measures to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050 and to reduce consumption levels.
We pledge to work towards reducing our emissions to net zero by 2050 or sooner if possible.
We will challenge policies and actions of local and national governments and their agencies, where we interact with them, that do not help to reduce emissions or consumption levels.
We will actively work to imagine and model ways that my practice / our organisation can regenerate the planet’s resources.
3. We are committed to Justice
The emergency has arisen from deeply systemic injustices. Arts and Culture can imagine and forge shifts in the ways we relate to one another and the world, in our values and behaviours.
We will do what is possible to enable dialogue and expression amidst our communities about how the Emergency will affect them and the changes that are needed.
We will support demands for more democracy within our civic institutions and government.
We believe that all truth-telling, action and democratic work must be underpinned by a commitment to justice based on intersectional principles.
