Climate-Forward Culture: Practical Sustainability | Trainer Slides

Author: Caro Overy

The slide deck used by Caro Overy during ZMINA:Resilience Capacity Building Webinar #7: Climate-Forward Culture: Practical Sustainability.

The presentation is structured around four agenda items — the culture/climate intersection (climate justice, net zero and mitigation, influence and collaboration, climate adaptation), case studies on minimising environmental impact, the Control/Influence/Concern framework, and embedding just resilience — introducing Culture for Climate Scotland along the way. It works through definitions (net zero, mitigation categories: energy, travel, waste, materials), footprint-calculation tools, and six things arts and culture can uniquely contribute to influence and collaboration, illustrated by the Seas of the Outer Hebrides project. Four named case studies (Glasgow Women's Library, Edinburgh International Festival, Curious Seed, Fruitmarket Gallery) are slotted directly into the Control/Influence/Concern structure, and the closing section on embedding just resilience references the Cultural Adaptations toolkit, the embedded artist methodology, and two further case studies (Climate Ready Clyde/Clyde Rebuilt, Sea Change). The case-study slides themselves are largely titles and bullet points, so the substantive detail behind each example is carried by Caro's spoken commentary in the video recording.
