We are a small-scale arts organization and employ 8 members of staff. As a team, and with the support of our Board, we work with principles of environmental sustainability across all areas of our work. Within our operating strands of enabling, producing and learning we include projects, which overtly explore the impact of climate change and human displacement. We produce and co-produce projects of high artistic quality which respond to interconnected, local and increasingly global ecologies, where new-coming and host communities face the reality of living in environments of limited resources and heightened political tensions.

Counterpoints Arts will continue to liaise with our funders, partners, artists and audiences on current debates and campaigns around climate justice, migration and interconnected issues. We will also follow local, national and international developments and policies around climate change, in particular the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Creative Climate Coalition.

We will continually engage with the work of Julie’s Bicycle, around the yearly measuring of our environmental impact and also around training. One of our colleagues is a member of the Creative Climate Leadership alumni.

Counterpoints Arts recognises the challenges of operating in an environment of limited resources, where we aim to protect and improve the environment through good management and best green practices where possible.

Counterpoints Arts recognises that its day-to-day operations can impact both directly and indirectly on the environment. We aim to protect and improve the environment through good management and by adopting best practice wherever possible, by continuously reviewing and maintaining low environmental impact of our work. Counterpoints Arts will work to integrate environmental considerations into our organisational decisions and adopt greener alternatives wherever possible.
