Culture powering climate action
For 20 years, JB has led climate action in the culture and creative sector through training, strategic leadership programmes, cross-sector campaigns, and pioneering projects that equip artists, organisations, and policymakers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take transformative action.
We spotlight the cultural sector’s power to shape narratives, influence behaviours, and design regenerative futures – using real-world case studies to demonstrate what meaningful, systemic change can look like.
Explore our growing suite of programmes designed to build leadership, capacity, and sustainable practices across the arts and culture sector. Tailored to the unique needs of institutions, individuals, and networks, each programme offers the tools, training, and frameworks necessary to drive climate action with confidence and impact.
At the heart of every cultural transformation are the people driving it. Through our Creative Climate People programmes, we support artists, organisations and practitioners to take bold, creative leadership on the climate, nature and justice crises. From first steps to sector-shifting action, we equip changemakers with the skills, networks and confidence to lead.
We also offer tailored pathways for board-level leaders, building managers, regional policymakers and individual practitioners – helping shape a diverse, resilient movement for change.
We work with cultural and environmental policymakers to drive systemic change at local, national, and international levels. Through groundbreaking research, international roundtables, and policy advocacy, we ensure that culture is at the heart of climate action.
