This document was developed following a 'Climate Emergency in Practice' day, run by Fife Contemporary for artists in 2019. Initially the idea has been to put together some kind of toolkit to enable artists and makers to measure their carbon footprint in the way that existing tools help organisations do so. With the varied nature of artistic practice, the complexity of the task became quickly apparent however, as did the reality that the time it would involve was too onerous for individual artists.
This document therefore aims to provide a general introduction to the complex issues around artistic practice and sustainability. We hope it will be a useful source of information and links which can continue to develop. We will review the resource annually and welcome corrections, updates and additions. This document is produced in good faith, and the links provided were correct at time of publication.
