Travel is typically the largest source of emissions from live events. We’re working with the charity ecolibrium to tackle these impacts and be part of the mission to move low carbon travel to the heart of live events culture and unite the industry in environmental restoration. This year we are recording carbon emissions from our travel mile, reducing emissions wherever possible, and donating to balance these impacts through ecolibrium’s climate solutions programme:
Trees+, which supports project partners to protect areas of threatened rainforest from deforestation, to preserve and restore ecosystems and to work with communities in parts of the world most at risk from climate change impacts to enable social & environmental regeneration through tree planting, sustainable farming, forestry protection and local governance.
Ecolibrium is a live events industry response to the climate crisis – a community of events, festivals, suppliers, artists and music companies taking action to reduce travel impacts by moving climate action and low – carbon travel into the heart of live events culture and investing in environmental restoration.
Since 2015, ecolibrium has worked with over 160 event industry members, providing them resources, tools, advice and inspiration to reduce travel emissions and investing over £650,000 in environmental restoration and climate action; supporting community – led, community benefit renewable energy projects and supporting ecosystem protection and regeneration, protecting biodiversity and create livelihoods for communities on the front line of climate change.
