This project is now complete.

Cultural Adaptations was a co-operation project funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, running from October 2018 to March 2021, and led by Creative Carbon Scotland. The project focused on culture’s role in society’s adaptation to climate change, and the adaptation issues that cultural organisations themselves need to think about.

The Partners

Four cultural organisations explored collaboratively how this approach can work in countries with similar climate challenges but differing socio-political frameworks. Each Cultural Partner worked with a local Adaptation Partner on the project:

• Creative Carbon Scotland worked with Sniffer and Climate Ready Clyde
• Axis (Ireland) with Codema, Dublin’s regional energy agency
• Greentrack Gent (Belgium) with the City of Ghent local authority
• TILLT (Sweden) with the City of Gothenburg local authority

Project Outputs

Cultural Adaptations produced several outputs including:

• Adapting our Culture Toolkit for cultural organisations
• Embedded Artist Projects for Adaptation toolkit
