Throughout our exploration, IETM has in different ways examined the change in behaviour and practise the performing arts sector can and should work towards, in order to take collective responsibility for the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions. This exploration has lead us more and more towards the concept of Climate Justice - a concept which resonates well with the intersectional approach IETM has adopted in its work: namely - in this case - that green and fair transition cannot be achieved without addressing the inequalities and disparities in society and across our performing arts sector.

This research reflects and explores various aspects of climate justice, offers an overview of current literature and shares examples and practices from different contexts through a worldwide peer to peer consultation. The research drew from the key takeaways and discussions of three regional focus groups which took place across the course of 2023 in Southern Africa, Latin America and Asia. 

More to come...:
