Project Highlights
The Green Touring Toolkit
The Green Touring Toolkit is a practical, step by step companion guide to greening the production and touring process created in consultation with artists, creatives, arts managers and environmental sustainability experts and alongside Arup, creators of the Circulate carbon calculator tool for the creative industries.
The Green Touring Online Series
The Green Touring Online Series covers a range of topics and perspectives on reducing emissions in how we make and tour work. Featuring many CCL alumni as guest speakers, the series aims to provide a platform for a growing community of climate conscious creatives to come together, make connections, and share case studies, tools and practices – as well as, most importantly, support, inspire and amplify the great work that is happening in this space.
