Climate change is here. It is already affecting our lives and those of our communities. Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) recognise this and are taking bold steps towards environmental responsibility, finding creative ways to take action together.
In this report we’ll share inspiring examples from across the sector alongside environmental reporting results from the first year of the new portfolio (2023-26). Analysis of the self-reported data, carbon impacts, and environmental measures submitted by 591 organisations provides a clear snapshot of where the creative and cultural sector stands today.
