Their mission
Culture Declares was founded in the United Kingdom in 2019, to bring together a network of arts and culture practitioners to acknowledge and face the climate emergency.
Their network connects individuals and organisations across the cultural, heritage and arts sectors, sharing diverse knowledge and practical support for pursuing justice and regenerative change.
Both individuals and organisations are invited to sign the Declaration: a powerful, collective statement acknowledging the urgent threat to Earth, and committing to taking action towards transforming global systems for the better.
Culture Declares builds community, across UK-based and international hubs—united by a shared belief that culture can reach hearts, change minds, and drive action. They work to ensure arts, culture, and creativity are central drivers of a just transition, towards a new, sustainable world.
Culture Declares Quote
"HOST/Climate2025 have supported CDE from the outset. Initially, they guided us in a process to develop our sociocratic way of working, mandates for our work group structure, consent-based decision-making processes, etc. All of this has stood the test of time."Culture Declares Climate and Ecological Emergency
The challenges
HOST has supported Culture Declares since they were first established. They sought advice on creating fair, collaborative, and lasting organisational structures:
- •Building structures to allow the organisation to work in a socratic way, without the usual, hierarchical structure of a legal entity.
- •Efficiently channelling resources and skills into movement building.
