Notat om virkemidler på bærekraft og klima for kulturfeltet
Summary
The report outlines a strategy for the Norwegian culture sector to align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. It identifies a shift in the sector from merely inspiring others to addressing its own carbon footprint, highlighting tools like the Green Producers Tool and certifications such as Miljøfyrtårn. The authors propose three main instruments: making sustainability goals the foundation of all cultural policy, requiring sustainability information for all public funding, and establishing a dedicated competence center for sustainability, climate, and culture, potentially linked to the Sustainability Center in Trondheim.
Key insights
- The report proposes three specific policy instruments to drive the green transition in the culture sector: integrating UN sustainability goals into all cultural policy, requiring sustainability information for all public grants and allocations, and establishing a competence center for sustainability, climate, and culture.
- There has been a shift in the Norwegian culture sector where the focus has moved from the sector's ability to inspire others toward addressing its own carbon footprint and operational methods.
- Miljøfyrtårn is the most common environmental certification among Norwegian cultural actors, though it has been criticized for prioritizing reporting and carbon footprint calculations over actual change management.
- The Green Producers Tool, developed by Babusjka and CICERO, is intended to become the industry standard for measuring emissions in the Norwegian and Nordic culture sectors, with a launch for the film/TV industry in summer 2022.
- The authors suggest that the Sustainability Center (Bærekraftssenteret) in Trondheim is currently the best positioned to host a culture-specific competence center due to its existing partnerships with NTNU, SINTEF, and local government.
- The report highlights Arts Council England and the organization Julie's Bicycle as global leaders in providing data, tools, and mandatory sustainability reporting for the cultural sector since 2012.
- A significant challenge for cultural institutions is the sustainable operation of buildings, as many are owned and managed by municipalities, making it difficult to implement changes without high-level political or administrative support.
