Understanding climate justice has become essential for how we approach climate change - and this has important implications on how we work. 

Climate justice understands climate change as an ethical as well as technological issue that stems from and worsens existing inequalities and injustices. This station of the toolbox will introduce some of climate justice’s key issues, explore how these are relevant to the areas we work in and provide tools to help us understand how arts and culture can help achieve climate justice. You will leave with improved understanding and knowledge of the issues and how to use your role in the arts and culture sector to help address them.

In this station, the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands will present their Green Roadmap for Sustainable Cultural Experiences in the Nordic Region, a tool which was developed to assist cultural institutions in their journey towards sustainability. What challenges and barriers do cultural institutions face in their green transition, and what opportunities exist to remove them? 

The roadmap identifies and removes any obstacles immediate action may have, while encouraging change and promoting the development of new methods and helping to transform knowledge into action through cooperation at a regional level.

This station will focus on the experiments from the European project STAGES (Sustainable Theatre Alliance for a Green Environmental Shift), which aims to rethink staging and production practices with the ultimate objective of accelerating their social and ecological transition.

This project, led by the Théâtre de Liège (Belgium), includes eleven other partner theatres in Europe and Asia, a European theatre network and a university.
In this toolbox station, we will learn about some of the key concepts of the Doughnut Economics theory and the derived protocol methodology used by the STAGES partners to analyse their practices. We will also establish action plans for the reduction of their carbon and environmental footprint, and hear about the challenges they faced. Those interested in trying it themselves will receive concrete advice and insights from the preliminary results of the European project.
