This section aims to explore the environmental and economic impacts of the music sector in the context of the climate crisis, as well as its potential role as a driver of change.

The intensification of environmental crises, increasing pressure on natural resources, and the confrontation with planetary boundaries are driving major ecological shifts in our societies. In this context, the music sector—like the cultural field as a whole—must play a crucial role in mitigating environmental impacts by aligning with national, European, and international reduction targets and regulations. It must also begin its own transformation to adapt to the disruptions ahead, strengthen its resilience in the face of risks, and respond to inevitable changes and shocks.

Music, with its wide-reaching audience and strong capacity to influence, can also serve as an inspiration and a model—helping to shape narratives and foster understanding around the systemic changes that are unfolding and yet to come.

The objectives of this part of the MOOC are to present:

  • A brief overview of the scientific findings on the environment and climate
  • The legal and political framework for the environment and climate at European level
  • A methodological focus on calculating the carbon footprint applied to the music sector
