We know that disabled people care deeply about sustainability and are amongst the groups most impacted by climate change.

Earlier this year we released a joint No Climate Action Without Us toolkit with Julie’s Bicycle and A Greener Future on how to make disabled people’s access to live events environmentally sustainable. We revealed that only 22% of disabled respondants to a survey felt included and able to participate in events and festivals that align with their climate values.  One third of respondents felt that solutions are not easy to navigate and often do not meet their access requirements. 

We now wish to consult disabled music creatives further in the next phase of this vital work.

This survey will help us understand:

• What music creatives come up against when considering their own access requirments alongside environmentally responsible practices.
• What solutions may have been found.

The results will help us shape a resource to:

• Support disabled music creatives to adopt more environmental responsible practices whilst still having the access they need.
• Advocate for music industry systems and infrastructures to do the same – putting the access needs of disabled creatives and audiences at the heart of their thinking and action on sustainability and climate change. 

As creatives we use our craft to share our stories. How can we be more eco-friendly in our practice? 

Join us as we create resources that seek to bridge gap between accessibility and climate justice for disabled music creatives.

Start today.

Please respond by 16^th September.
