Event Details

Event exploring how the creative and cultural sector can further the recommendations of Scotland’s Climate Assembly.

About this event

This online event, organised by Scotland’s Climate Assembly and Culture for Climate Scotland, is the first in a series of conversations with different sectors. It will:

Provide an overview of the goals and recommendations in Scotland’s Climate Assembly’s final report
Consider how the cultural and creative sector can further the recommendations, both through our own practices and by engaging audiences and communities, and build support for the Scottish Government to adopt the recommendations.

We will hear from Scotland’s Climate Assembly and (by video) from Dr. Katherine Trebeck of Wellbeing Economy Alliance, about the recommendations of most relevance to our sector.

Responses from the cultural sector will be made by:

Joyce McMillan, columnist and theatre critic
Claire Dufour, Cultivate, a Culture Collective project
Adam McDougall, National Theatre of Scotland
Kate V Robertson, Sculpture Placement Group
Scott Crawford Morrison, Scottish Ensemble

With facilitation and contributions from Jean Cameron, Creative Producer; Hazel Darwin-Clements Theatre Maker; and Fadzai Mwakutuya, Visual Artivist.

Talks and discussions will focus on four key areas:

Community empowerment & the 20-minute Neighbourhood
Carbon literacy, education & information
Circular economy & resource use
Reframing how we measure success

We recognise the differing challenges and opportunities for the freelance portion of our sector, and are keen to incorporate freelancer perspectives throughout the discussions.

Scotland’s Climate Assembly brought together just over 100 people representative of Scotland, to learn about, discuss and make recommendations on the question ‘How should Scotland change to tackle the climate emergency in an effective and fair way?’.

The final report from the Climate Assembly will be published and laid in the Scottish Parliament on 24 June. The interim report is available to read here now.

Culture for Climate Scotland was initiated by Creative Carbon Scotland and is a diverse group of organisations and individuals working in the creative and cultural sector, aiming to galvanise thinking and action around a just and green recovery by and for our sector.
