Abstract

This abstract presents a case study of how music is uniting academic, civic and commercial sectors to simultaneously address multiple environmental and social challenges. It details the comprehensive approach undertaken to develop an assessment framework that integrates the principles of Doughnut Economics into a toolkit created for use throughout the live events sector. The specific case study would cover an analysis and adaptation of this year’s WOMEX event being held in Manchester, UK and how this has impacted adjacent economic sectors. The presentation will discuss how the toolkit designed to provide event organizers with a comprehensive framework for assessing events based on their sustainable and accessible provisions, has been adapted to provide tailored advisories as well as aggregated data sets that inform strategic decisions within a growth-agnostic context. With the toolkit already in use commercially, and a critical component of the UK pilot of the Green Events Code of Practice, the presentation would offer an insight into the outputs of this project, inviting delegates to reflect on their own work, and how they might adapt their own areas of practice as use of these frameworks continue to grow across Europe.
