    Associate Professor | Arete Zero Carbon MD

    As Managing Director of Arete Zero Carbon, our homegrown Liverpool consultancy dedicated to achieving net zero in Liverpool and across the world, I am filled with immense pride to witness our city being named the world’s first ‘Accelerator City’ for climate action under the UN Climate Change’s Entertainment and Culture for Climate Action (ECCA) programme. This recognition is not just a badge of honor; it signifies a transformative shift in how we view sustainability, culture, and economic growth in our city.   For years, we have championed the urgent need for climate action, advocating for innovative solutions that address the pressing challenge of climate change. The designation of Liverpool as an Accelerator City is a testament to collective efforts, highlighting the city’s unwavering commitment to pioneering change and implementing effective regulations that aim to swiftly decarbonise key sectors of our economy, particularly the live music and TV/film production industries.    A Collaborative Journey - these remarkable achievements don’t occur in a vacuum. It is the culmination of years of hard work and collaboration among various stakeholders, including artists, climate scientists, local businesses, and community leaders. At Arete Zero Carbon, we have witnessed firsthand the energy and enthusiasm that Liverpool’s creative community brings to the conversation about climate action. The arts have the unique ability to inspire change, spark dialogue, and galvanise action. As we embrace our new title, we invite all businesses to lean into this momentum, using their platforms to advocate for sustainability and drive awareness of our climate goals.   This leadership will attract investment, create jobs, and enhance our city’s reputation on the global stage. Our commitment to innovation means that we are continuously seeking and implementing smarter, greener practices in every aspect of the creative process. From using renewable energy sources for events to reducing waste and promoting sustainable travel options, the opportunities to make a difference are abundant.
