ive years on from the first edition, the
new 126 page report, which has been
crowdfunded by the industry, gives
an insight into sector sustainability, and
reflects the progress made in technologies,
materials and operational practices to
reduce environmental impacts.
Its main chapters, authored by experts
in their own fields cover Governance,
Resources and Waste, Water, Food, Energy,
Travel and Transport.
The report also marks the launch of
the new on-line ‘Knowledge Hub’, www.
vision2025.org.uk, a free-to-access resource
that will feature case studies, briefings and
a supplier directory.
More than 100 festivals and events have
made the Vision:2025 pledge and more than
sixty suppliers have supported the report.
Chris Johnson, Powerful Thinking /
Vision2025 chair states: “After a decade of
the Powerful Thinking industry steering
group, this is a significant step in the
journey. The industry has now come
together around a vision, crowdfunded
world-leading resources to inspire
meaningful action. The report is a call to
action, what-ever people and organisations
have done to date – the time act to tackle
the climate crisis is now.”
Alison Tickell, CEO and founder of
Julies Bicycle, the charity behind Powerful
Thinking and Vision 2025 added: "Living
within the generous boundaries of our
planet's ecosystems is now the only job in
hand. As a creative and events collective,
we can bring inspiration and community to
this task."
