Sustainability Resources

We know that arts and culture has an important role to play in addressing climate change. We use culture and creativity to enhance, inspire and engage people, to support our goal of carbon neutrality by 2040 and help mitigate against the threats of climate change on our communities.

Exmouth Festival’s decarbonisation toolkit
Exmouth Festival’s recent decarbonisation project in 2024 provides excellent learnings of how we can think about decarbonising events. Jess Magill and Zoey Cooper have created a useful toolkit, which includes a bespoke carbon calculator, to help event organisers lower the carbon footprint of their events.

To request a copy of the templates for signage or if you have any questions please email aced@eastdevon.gov.uk.

Overwintering project: inspired by the migration of dark-bellied Brent geese from Siberia to the Exe Estuary and supported by ACED through the Creative East Devon Fund..
