Supporting the cultural sector to take action and meet the challenges of the climate and nature crises
About the programme
About the programme
We’re working in partnership with Julie’s Bicycle – to deliver an ambitious Environmental Programme for National Portfolio Organisations, Investment Principle Support Organisations and the wider creative and cultural sector. As the climate and nature crisis accelerates, the sector is needed more than ever, to focus our talent on this moment and the solutions we need.
Who can take part?
Who can take part?
The programme supports National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) and Investment Principles Support Organisations (IPSOs) with environmental reporting tools and initiatives to take part in.
The wider creative and cultural sector can get involved too with free access to training, resources and carbon calculators, as well as guidance relevant for individual practitioners to support environmental action.
How to get involved.
How to get involved
Reporting environmental data is an important foundation for understanding your impact and reducing your footprint, however, there is so much more that the cultural community can do to take meaningful action and to work together to tackle climate change.
Leadership and development programmes:
Transforming Energy – builds on our previous Spotlight programme. There are two programmes you can join:
- Buildings Net Zero Energy is for those who are just starting out, or have begun to work on energy reduction but are keen to do more.
- Capital Investment Ready is for organisations already making significant progress on energy reduction.
Future programmes will focus on board environmental champions, resilience and creative climate leadership.
