2:10-3:30pm – Climate Justice and Arts & Culture

Climate justice is a way of understanding how climate change results from and exacerbates existing inequalities and injustices as well as how climate action can help create a fairer world. This workshop will share our research into how climate justice thinking is relevant to the arts and culture sector in Scotland and provide opportunities to explore how this relates to your own organisation or individual practice.

3:45-4:45pm – Understand Cultural Adaptation and Your Influence in the Wider Culture Ecosystem

Cultural organisations are experiencing the impacts of climate change, from flooding to travel disruption but also warmer summers. Adaptation is the term given to thinking about how to manage the risks and grasp the opportunities this presents. This session will introduce you to climate adaptation in the context of your local area as well as globally, enabling you to identify main climate change risks using our Cultural Adaptations toolkit and collaboratively planning how to approach adaptation in your work.
