Ziele und Herausforderungen an der Schnittstelle Kultur und Klimaschutz
About this process
Ziel des Online-Dialogs «Kulturinstitutionen und Klimaschutz» ist es, den Wissenstransfer und die Vernetzung der Kulturinstitutionen zum Thema Klimaschutz zu stärken sowie den Stand und Bedarf hierzu abzuholen.
The city of Zurich wants to become climate-neutral by 2040. For the city administration, net zero by 2035 applies. The Zurich electorate approved the new climate protection target with a clear majority of 75 percent and anchored it in the municipal code.
In the cultural sector, the discussion on sustainability issues has intensified sharply in the wake of the Corona pandemic and the climate crisis. Social, ecological and economic sustainability are also expected from Zurich's cultural sector.
Sustainability in the cultural sector is to be a central topic in the new cultural mission statement 2024-2027 – in which the City of Zurich sets out its priorities in cultural promotion for the next four years and which will be published at the end of June 2023. In its cultural promotion, the City of Zurich focuses on all dimensions of sustainability, economic, social and ecological aspects and various building blocks: It wants to advocate for fair working conditions (economic dimension) and strengthen cultural participation (social dimension). In addition, the City of Zurich's climate target of "net zero by 2040" is also decisive for the promotion of culture. This means that the Culture Department wants to align its work with the city's climate target (ecological dimension).
The entire cultural sector is facing major challenges: Like other industries, it is a driver of CO2 emissions. Climate change is questioning and changing production conditions, working methods or audience behaviour.
These challenges can only be overcome through a joint effort and exchange between all actors. To this end, the Department of Culture has teamed up with the Climate Protection Department to support cultural institutions on the path to more climate protection and created this online dialogue. The online dialogue focuses on the topic of climate protection, knowing that it is important to take all dimensions of sustainability into account.
