A group of art world professionals has created a collective, the Gallery Climate Coalition, to decrease the environmental impact of art.
The nonprofit organization aims to help galleries and international fair organizers cut carbon emissions by half over the next decade and promote methods that can almost completely zero out waste production.
Among the Gallery Climate Coalition ’s innovations is the creation of a carbon emissions calculator, simple to use and available to all members of the collective, capable of determining, and thus controlling, the impact of carbon emitted during major art events and at fairs.
A "meaningful, industry-specific response to the growing climate crisis" is thus proposed. The collective’s goal is to enable a greener and more sustainable art world through necessary guidelines and resources.
The Gallery Climate Coalition was born in London, but is open to artists, galleries, institutions, and art world workers from around the world. In fact, the collective already brings together many galleries, institutions, organizations, and numerous artists from the international art scene, but it intends to expand its circle more and more, under the banner of sustainability and respect for the environment, among the most recent key issues.
