3rd Panel 12:00 - 12:45 pm
Green New Culture Deal
Sustainable cultural policy should aim to accompany an ecological transformation process in the cultural field and to support actors and initiatives in sustainable cultural production. Although numerous cultural institutions and initiatives now attach great importance to resource-conserving and environmentally friendly cultural work, it is only when the global climate goals are broken down to the operational level that sustainable change can be achieved holistically. Which structures are required for this in public and private cultural institutions?
