From touring and vinyl packaging to festival waste and single-use plastics, the music industry faces urgent challenges in reducing its environmental impact. But sustainability isn’t just about reducing harm — it’s also about reimagining the role music plays in our relationship with the planet. Initiatives like EarthPercent, co-founded by Brian Eno, are directing funds from the music industry towards climate action while championing the provocative idea of crediting nature itself as an “artist” on streaming platforms — a reminder of the deep interconnection between creativity and the environment. This panel spotlights artists, festivals and organisations leading the way, asking: what bold cultural shifts, financial frameworks and grassroots actions are needed to build a truly sustainable music ecosystem?
Proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to Earth Percent.
