Transforma Art, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Conference, Think Tank, Workshops and Art Projects in the Public Space May-July 2011 Teatro Maria Matos Lisboa May 6th and 7th Two degrees Conference/Workshops July 16th EARTH² 5 Artistic Creation Project for the Public Space Transforma Torres Vedras May 20th and 21st TTT Transforma Think Tank Climate Change, Design and Sustainable Development of Art Events for the Public Space June 17th to July 16th Transforma Lab Art Projects in the Public Space July 8th and 9th EARTH² 5 Artistic Creation Project for the Public Space Art, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Sustainable development is an amazingly simple and straightforward concept. It is based on the irrefutable fact that it is impossible to endlessly grow within a finite system and adverts that humankind cannot continue to extract minerals, use water reserves, shrink forests, extinct animal and plant species and pollute the air as if they were endlessly available. It states the obvious truth that humankind has to learn to live within the boundaries of Ecosystem Earth, for the simple reason that it is the only planet we‟ve got to live on. Climate change has become the most talked about of all ecological issues, because it is the one that is already causing measurable effects on a planetary scale, but comparable risks of crossing the limits exist on nearly all levels of the global ecosystem. It has become clear that profound and radical change is needed if we want to return to an ecological balance, maintain our economic and social standards and create opportunities for a better life in the poorer regions of the globe. The changes we need are profound because they have to be applied by all people, organizations, enterprises and authorities on all levels of society; they are radical because they imply real changes in life styles and value systems. The program Art, Climate change and Sustainable Development, realized by Transforma (Torres Vedras) and Teatro Maria Matos (Lisbon) acknowledges that the cultural sector and the arts have a real role to play in the transition to sustainability. Mark Deputter, Maria Matos Teatro Municipal, Lisboa Luís Firmo, Transforma, Torres Vedras Two Degrees Conference and Workshops 6 e 7 Maio In English without translation Teatro Maria Matos, Lisboa The United Nations Development Program puts forward a limit for global warming of 2ºC; surpassing this limit would have irreversible consequences for the conditions of life on Earth. Still, neither the UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen, nor the Cancun Summit, managed to provide for a workable agreement. If greenhouse gases continue to grow at the actual rhythm, all scientific models predict a raise in temperature of up to 4ºC until the end of the century. Climate change is not only a global issue, but also a transversal one. The emission of greenhouse gasses is caused by all areas of human activity and it is clear that a significant reduction in carbon emissions can only be achieved through the efforts of all. What could be the role of the cultural sector? Do the arts have the capacity to raise public awareness about climate change? Can they warn the public for possible consequences? Should they incite the people to reduce their ecological footprint? And shouldn‟t art institutions and artists also develop ecological working methods to produce, present and distribute art? Mark Deputter Curator 6 Maio — Conference For a general audience Main Auditorium Free entrance 10h00 > 10h30 Introduction Mark Deputter, Maria Matos Teatro Municipal, Lisbon Delgado Domingos, Lisboa E-Nova, Agência Municipal de Energia — Ambiente de Lisbon 10h30 > 13h00 Climate change, ecology and sustainable development. Where do we stand and what can we do? The transition to a sustainable society: a systems perspective Peter Tom Jones University of Leuven, Belgium Respecting the ecological limits of Ecosystem Earth is the non-negotiable basis for our social and economic development. The Rockström diagram illustrates that we have already breached the safe operating space for several global environmental issues, including climate change. In order to return to ecological sustainability, the use of natural resources by industrialised countries needs to be reduced by 90%. A transition is required. Towards Carbon Zero Emissions Julie Bromilow Centre for Alternative Technologies, Wales, UK The zerocarbonbritain2030 report is a positive, realistic vision for a society free from fossil fuels. It provides political, economic and technological solutions to the urgent challenges raised by climate science. It explores the synergies between sectors to create a fully integrated solution to climate change. The report explores how we can Power Down demand in the built environment, transport, land use and behavioural change, then Power Up the energy system with renewable. Open debate 14h30 > 16h00 Art, Climate Change and Sustainable Development The Arts Sector in Transition to Sustainable Development Helen Heathfield Julie‟s Bicycle, UK Reporting on the success we're enjoying and the lessons we're learning from arts organisations, networks and partnerships in the UK.

Sharing a vision for a low carbon future with a flourishing arts sector and inspiring organisations to get on with it! Working with Artists on Climate Change: Commissioning, Presenting, Touring Judith Knight Artsadmin, UK How should the arts respond to climate change? Should we be commissioning work to draw attention to the subject? Should we continue to tour internationally? Judith Knight will talk about Artsadmin‟s engagement with the issue of climate change: the Imagine 2020 Network, commissioning artists‟ work and finding ways of making international touring „greener‟. Open debate 16h30 / 18h00 Practices of Sustainable Development in the Arts Is it Worth a Party? — The Sustainability Experience of Boom Festival André Soares Boom Festival, Portugal; Ecocentro IPEC, Brasil Since 2006, André Soares and Boom Festival have embarked on a journey to make a large arts and music festival sustainable, meeting the challenge on many fronts, from the development of sustainable practices to the invention of new technologies.

A more sensible Production Household for the Performing Arts Johan Penson ROSAS, Belgium What can the performing arts do for climate change on a practical day-to-day basis? How can we make good theatre and dance productions and still sleep well overnight because of the carbon footprint we have left behind? This is a practical guide to sustainable management of creative processes in the performing arts and an example of a performance with a low level of power consumption. Teaching Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Julie Bromilow Centre for Alternative Technologies, Wales, UK This workshop allows teachers and educators to find out more about sustainability issues and how to apply them in an educational setting. Participants will acquire inspiration, increase their own knowledge, and gain ideas for bringing global issues to children, students and adults. The wide range of learning covers climate change, global equity and biodiversity through subjects such as food, building and energy. 15h00 > 18h00 Sustainable Festivals André Soares BOOM Festival, Portugal; Ecocentro IPEC, Brasil Cultural events represent windows of opportunity to present the viability of sustainable lifestyles. Sustainability is achieved with strategic and operational plans: understanding the limitations of water, energy, materials, time and people is crucial in order to make progress. In this workshop we will use Permaculture as a design tool to discuss the strategies for a sustainable event. Working with Artists, Audiences and Stakeholders Judith Knight Artsadmin, UK Having made a decision to make the arts „greener‟, where do we begin? Is it with the artists, the audiences, the funders, the venues? How can each influence the other? How do we join up the dots? Lower Carbon Touring? Helen Heathfield Julie‟s Bicycle, UK Helen will present a recent research on theatre, orchestra and band touring and explore how arts organisations are putting its recommendations into practice.
