The Act 1.5 concert in Bristol, headlined by Massive Attack, marked a significant achievement in sustainability by slashing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by 98%. This was primarily due to the absence of diesel generators and a focus on low-carbon transport options for artists. The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research evaluated its climate impact, finding substantial reductions in emissions from transport and food, particularly with vegan meals. Collaborative efforts among participants played a key role in this success, showcasing a possible model for future events in the live music sector.
"Having unwavering commitment from multiple key actors in any sector or project is essential - so that when bumps in the road happen, there is a commitment to finding a super-low-carbon solution."
"Part of the challenge for the live sector is the amount of cooperation between different actors - some sectors are more fragmented than others, making it difficult to adopt sustainable practices."
