The European Union has recently published the report Creative Shifts: Empowering Culture for Sustainable Living, highlighting the significant role of Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) in the transition towards a more sustainable world. These sectors not only impact the environment through their activities but can also drive systemic changes through storytelling, imagination, and influencing citizens’ behavior.
The report presents good practices across Europe in areas such as energy efficiency, climate adaptation strategies, and sustainable mobility. It concludes that the right policy support—guidelines, funding, and regulatory measures—can significantly strengthen the green transition.
Finally, the report examines the ongoing shift of these sectors towards sustainability, emphasizing the critical role of culture, creativity, and the arts in promoting the mindset changes needed for a fair, inclusive, and equitable green transition.
