Action Plan for the adaptation of music festivals to the 2030 Agenda

Abstract

Within the framework of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the integration of sustainability in the creative industry and the implementation of adaptation strategies to climate change have become a necessary claim. Culture, as a strategic focus of communication and social awareness, must be aligned with sustainable development strategies. In this context, music festivals are meeting, leisure and work places that have a social, environmental and economic impact on the region where they are generated. These impacts can be positive and / or negative and it is important to identify them, monitor them and establish plans to improve their management in order to contribute to the creation of a more sustainable industry. To this end, the Music Festivals Association (FMA) in collaboration with Gabeiras y Asociados, has developed an Action Plan for the adaptation of Music Festivals to the 2030 Agenda. The final objective of the report is to give a holistic approach to their shows, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
