Driving Climate Action in Cities
Driving Climate Action in Cities was the theme of the workshop presented by Grainne Bradley, Simon Curtis, Emanuele Salmin and Claire Buckley, all of whom are part of the C-Change network. The C-Change network is an URBACT good practice transfer project made up of 6 cities led by Manchester. The good practice is based on the Manchester Arts and Sustainability Team’ approach demonstrating how other cities can work with their arts and culture sector to drive climate action and reduce emissions. The key message from the workshop was that the arts and culture sector has a role to play in climate action in cities. The aim of this workshop was to highlight the Manchester good practice being transferred as part of C-Change.
