Upon correspondence with the manager and festival organiser for the 2019 Galway Jazz Festival during this project on data collection etc, it was very clear what their goals were
“Our aim was to alert the sector to its potential in become more climate aware, and in doing so being a hugely significant voice for broader societal action. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are generally low within the sector, but scope 3 and the huge platform The Arts enjoy in terms of shaping a conversation and delivering a message around the changes required to meet our climate goals is something that is very largely overlooked”
