📬 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗥 ― Our final White Paper is now available!
After 4 years of experimentation and research across Europe,
Better Live has published « Decarbonising the Artist and Audience Mobility in Music » — an 80-page document bringing together the results of experiments carried out in 9 European territories, comparative research across 6 countries, and a series of recommendations for public policymakers.
The numbers speak for themselves:
— 64 tours organized
— 363 artistic events
— 223 artists
— 239 venues
— in 14 countries
— Carbon footprint reductions ranging from 35% to 87% depending on the territory
📰 This publication marks the end of Better Live — but also 4 years of experimentation, co-programming, and close collaboration across 11 partner organisations throughout Europe.
This project may be over, but we are confident that Better Live will inspire other initiatives in many different forms. Thank you to everyone who believed in and acted for a more sustainable live music.
