DECLARATION

MUSIC DECLARES A CLIMATE AND ECOLOGICAL EMERGENCY

We call on governments and media institutions to tell the truth about the climate and ecological emergency.

We call on governments to act now to reverse biodiversity loss and reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by no later than 2030.

We recognise that the emergency has arisen from global injustices and will work towards systemic change to protect life on Earth.

We acknowledge the environmental impact of music industry practices and commit to taking urgent action.

Enough time has been wasted - we must all face up to the whole truths regarding rapid climate change and species extinction and act now.

Everything Everything

Music is a powerful tool that can be used for good. We all need to play our part if the planet is to survive.

English Folk Dance and Song Society

There is no planet B

Zoë Keating

It’s blatantly obvious to me why we have to call an Environmental Emergency. I believe if nothing is done soon Global warming will lead to mass human migration leading to. Conflict on a global scale. We must act now.

Geoff Barrow

Those in power lack leadership and will. I'm hoping that pressure from a big group of people, united by common sense, can force them to make the changes needed for survival.

Annabel Wright

Now is the time for action at Government level.

The BRIT School

I‘m supporting this positive call The message..... Bring change - Build a fully carbon neutral, post petroleum all recycled World 🌎 . It can still be Day-Glo.

Jon More (Coldcut)

It's time for all organisations in society to urgently take meaningful action to reduce impacts show leadership and inspire change at this critical moment in history. Collaboration is essential - Music Declares brings many parts of an influential industry together to form a strong voice and platform for change.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO JOIN MUSIC DECLARES EMERGENCY?

Making a declaration of emergency is an independent decision for each individual or organisation, and can be done in any way that is right for you/your organisation.

It means publicly announcing your concerns, lending your voice to the chorus calling for more ambitious political action, and following up by taking action on your own environmental impacts within your remit. It does not mean joining any specific group or committing to any actions beyond your limits.

If you are an organisation, it does require consultation of your senior team or board of trustees, and acknowledgement that the declaration itself is only one step in understanding and developing a response to the climate emergency.
