Unge Kunstneres Samfunds rapport om klimahandling

The report by Unge Kunstneres Samfund outlines three primary strategies for artist organizations to address the climate crisis: integrating climate action into professional political work, establishing and maintaining networks, and fostering 'climate utopias' through creative responses. It emphasizes the link between climate justice and artists' working conditions, suggesting that sustainability must encompass both material and social issues, including the adoption of circular material use in exhibition production. The framework utilizes a classification of approaches—dutiful, disruptive, or dangerous—adapted from Karen O’Brien and Julie’s Bicycle to guide organizational planning and prioritization.

• Artist organizations can integrate climate action into their core professional political work by adding explicit commitments to climate issues in their strategic plans and principles, as climate and environmental crises directly impact working conditions.
• Climate perspectives can be effectively embedded into professional rights and labor standards through contract proposals and local or national collective agreements.
• Sustainability in the arts field requires a combination of material and social considerations, such as exploring alternative working forms and the circular use of materials in exhibition production to counter the pressure for constant production without increased income.
• Organizations should strengthen existing networks and form new alliances, such as solidarity networks like Occupy Climate Justice, to exchange strategies and hold cultural institutions accountable to their own climate goals.
• Artists can contribute to a climate-just society or 'climate utopias' by using their creative tools to present ethical and critical alternatives to established systems, focusing on care, justice, and societal change.
