The GCC is a charity and international coalition of arts organisations with a primary goal of facilitating a reduction of the sector’s CO2e emissions by a minimum of 50% by 2030, as well as promoting zero waste.

As a registered charity, the GCC does not operate for profit, and all tools and resources are provided free of charge. As a result GCC relies on voluntary donations to maintain operations.

The GCC recently celebrated another 125 members, the second wave, who have achieved “Active” status. The initiative celebrates the organisations and individuals who have taken effective steps towards environmental responsibility, starting with three key actions:

  • Completing a CO2e report or audit.
  • Establishing and maintaining a Green Team.
  • Publishing an Environmental Responsibility Statement.

She has written for publications including It’s Freezing in LA, 34minus1 and Bloom. Fannin holds a BA in Culture, Criticism and Curation from Central St Martins, London.
