ACT 1.5 - Assessing progress against the Super-Low Carbon Live Music Roadmар
On 25th August, Massive Attack's Act 1.5 Climate Action Accelerator took place and was a resounding success, providing an exciting glimpse into the future of outdoor events. AGF were delighted to help make this the greenest show of its size ever staged, with consultancy from CEO, Claire O’Neill, Head of A Greener Tour Jamal Chalabi as Sustainable Production lead, Sustainability Coordination from Eloise Clarke, and Alex Fintoni as Senior Analyst.
Also the AGF team put their shoulder to the wheel on the day to support the “bin faeries” and green team volunteers with MyCause.
A new report by the Tyndall Centre assesses the performance of the Act 1.5 low carbon live event at Bristol Downs with Massive Attack.
The report, by Professor Carly McLachlan and Dr Chris Jones, reviews how the Act 1.5 live event performed against the climate change goals of the Super Low Carbon Live Music Roadmap. The review looks at the impact of batteries for power, local ticketing, additional late trains and perks for rail travel, 100% plant-based catering, reduced equipment transport and no flying for artists on the greenhouse gas emissions of a large outdoor event. It includes key learning from implementing these measures from interviews with the people who made the show happen.
The Act 1.5 event shows how bold steps on power, travel and catering can make a huge difference to the climate impact of live events.
