Making change through cultural events since 2010

NEWS

We present Festival Sustainability Lab – making the live music industry & cultural sector more resilient and fit for the future.

Festival Sustainability Lab is an innovative collaboration between Green Events, Innofest, One Resilient Earth and LiveGreen.

At the heart of the EU-funded project are three digital labs with a focus on experimentation, innovation and development of best practices. Together with organisations, artists, labels, and creatives affiliated with the festival industries across Europe, Festival Sustainability Lab will broadcast best-practices and innovations of technological-logistical and artistic-communicative nature.

LiveGreen’s lab consist of a series of masterclasses and coaching.

Climate activists took over Ullevi Arena in front of Sweden’s historically largest concert audience ever!

”Dear friends, lend your ears for a moment to these young enthusiasts,” Håkan Hellström calls out to his 70 000 fans.

Activists from Fridays For Future take the stage with a call to the audience – vote in the election, and show our politicians that the people want to see a change. Afterwards, Håkan and Greta Thunberg, with back-up singing climate activists, performed the song ”Tillsammans i mörker” in a duet.

We hope that more artists will follow Håkan Hellström’s example and raise their voices for climate justice!

ARTISTS’ ROLE FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE

Climate Live becomes a summer tour – young climate activists take over festival stages in Malmö, Gothenburg and Linköping!

Climate Live Sweden sprung from the global Fridays For Future movement – activists who have been doing school strikes for the climate since 2018. Together with us at LiveGreen, they organized Sweden’s biggest climate concert to date on October 16, 2021.

We’re gearing up! During late summer 2022 artists, scientists and climate activists gather at several city festivals around Sweden. The goal of this initiative is to unite and mobilise people in the fight for climate justice before this fall’s political elections – with music as a tool.
