SOUNDS GREEN – SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES AROUND EUROPE
Panel & Talk
H
Evento gratuito
Online
Il viaggio di migliaia di fan, il consumo energetico ed idrico, i rifiuti prodotti: sono numerosi i fattori che contribuiscono in maniera negativa alla sostenibilità di concerti e festival. Tuttavia, un cambiamento è possibile e necessario e sono molti gli esempi di organizzazioni che stanno sperimentando modelli di successo.
In questo panel ci interroghiamo su come la dimensione culturale/musicale e le azioni di riduzione dell’impatto possano lavorare in sinergia, generando valore in una prospettiva di sviluppo sostenibile. Lo facciamo indagando casi studio italiani ed esteri, approfondendo le buone pratiche messe in atto e capendo quali possono essere i modelli di misurazione di impatto più efficaci per gli eventi musicali.
ENG: The travel of thousands of fans, the consumption of energy and water, the waste produced: many factors contribute negatively to the sustainability of concerts and festivals. However, change is possible and needed and there are many examples of organisations that are experimenting with successful models.
In this panel we question how the cultural/musical dimension and impact reduction actions can work in synergy, generating value in a sustainable development perspective. We do this by investigating Italian and foreign case studies, delving into the best practices implemented and understanding which impact measurement models are most effective for music events.
