Welcome to Sustainable Arts

Here you find information, tips and tools to foster sustainability in the cultural sector.

The cultural industry can make a significant contribution to the sustainability principle of using the planet’s limited resources in such a way that future generations can also benefit from them. There’s a good reason why the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) include several that are directly related to culture.


Cultural sectors

This website currently focuses on the film industry; however, many of the recommendations and measures you will find here apply across disciplines and, with a little creativity, can be applied to almost any cultural project. Other cultural sectors will be included in the future and more content will be added.

If you work in the cultural industry and would like to make an active contribution to making cultural works more sustainable, please feel free to get in touch with us and share your experience.
