The toolkit is a tool for culture to improve ecological, economic and human sustainability. In collaboration with Gallery Climate Coalition, the toolkit presents the project’s carbon calculation in addition to prototypes, symposium excerpts, performances, actionable guidelines, a collection of established resources and public forum for discussion. This is available online to the public, who can use the tools for their own transformation towards sustainability.
