Creative Carbon Scotland is inviting people working across arts and sustainability contexts to submit their views on the role of culture in creating a more sustainable Scotland as part of the Scottish Government’s call for contributions to the development of a new Cultural Strategy.
Creative Carbon Scotland is seeking to ensure that the connection between culture and climate change is recognised in the cultural strategy and to open up the conversation of the wider role of culture in society particularly in relation to environmental sustainability.
Sharing Your Input
We are asking for your views on:
- What you perceive as the role of arts and culture in contributing to a more sustainable Scotland at individual, organisational and strategic levels
- Examples of good practice and opportunities for new collaborations across cultural and sustainability sectors
- Priority areas to further the role of culture in bringing about transformational change to a more sustainable Scotland
The views gathered through this short survey, and the input from the recent Green Tease on the subject, will be fed back annonymised to the Scottish Government and shared more widely through Creative Carbon Scotland’s channels.
Please contribute your views by filling out the short survey below or by completing it on SurveyMonkey by Friday 17th November

About Creative Carbon Scotland:
Creative Carbon Scotland is a partnership of arts organisations working to put culture at the heart of a sustainable Scotland. We believe cultural and creative organisations have a significant influencing power to help shape a sustainable Scotland for the 21st century.
In 2011 we worked with partners Festivals Edinburgh, the Federation of Scottish Threatre and Scottish Contemporary Art Network to support over thirty arts organisations to operate more sustainably.
We are now building on these achievements and working with over 70 cultural organisations across Scotland in various key areas including carbon management, behavioural change and advocacy for sustainable practice in the arts.
Our work with cultural organisations is the first step towards a wider change. Cultural organisations can influence public behaviour and attitudes about climate change through:
Changing their own behaviour;
Communicating with their audiences;
Engaging the public’s emotions, values and ideas.
