Following news of its establishment in February, the Creative Climate alliance launched with its initial call to action this morning (Thursday 26 June) with an event at the Edge in Melbourne’s Federation Square. Funded by Creative Australia and led by Green Music Australia, and facilitators Angharad Wynne-Jones and Catherine Jones, with environmental consultant Matt Wicking, Creative Climate is the new national peak body for arts and climate, intended to provide the tools, knowledge and leadership to help the creative sector transition away from a carbon-based economy and adapt to climate impacts.
