To mark World Environment Day today, 5 June, we are pleased to announce that  IFACCA’s report, The Arts and Environmental Sustainability, which is a joint project with Julie’s Bicycle, will be published very soon. In the meantime, we invite you to visit our topic page http://www.ifacca.org/topic/ecological-sustainability/  to see publications, news and events on arts and the environment.

World Environment Day is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment.

D’Art No. 34, The Arts and Ecological Sustainability, the interim version of which was discussed at the World Summit, is currently being finalised by Julie’s Bicycle in partnership with IFACCA.  The report will provide a snapshot of government arts and culture agencies’ engagement with environmental sustainability, with an emphasis on policy and organisational responses. It also aims to identify some potential collaborations which will facilitate regional responses and accelerate learning.
