Every campaign, product, space and story carries an image of the future. The creative ind ustries decide, more than most, what people desire and what feels normal. So what happens when that talent turns toward a future where life is beaut iful and flourishing, where everyone has enough, and where we live within the limits of our planet? And what would that future actually look like?

Amsterdam has already made one choice about the images it lives with. Since May, fossil fuel ads have been banned from the city’s billboards an d bus shelters, a policy Creatives for Climate helped move forward by rall ying more than 100 senior industry leaders in a single week. Their work go es further than what to stop: they put the power of storytelling and popular culture to work, building lasting public support for climate a ction.

On Creative Industry Day of the We Are Warming Up Fes tival, Futures & Sustainability and Creatives for Climate bring together designers, makers, storytell ers and futures thinkers for an evening of music, ideas and play.

What to expect

Who it is for

People working in the creative industries, and those in impact, foresight and business who are curious about the role of culture in change. The mix is intentional: n ew ideas come from difference, not sameness.

The first four Futu res & Sustainability evenings sold out, so we recommend booking e arly.

Come curious. Leave with a wider sense of what is possible.

Warming Up Festival: Culture Professionals Day
On Friday 20 November, Warming Up Festival, in collaboration with the Sustai nable Cultural Sector Programme, is organising a special Culture Professio nals Day. This event brings together the festival’s themes with the issues you deal with on a daily basis: just as with the wider program, everythin g here is intertwined.

After all, a great deal is also expected of the cultural and creative sector. We are hearing more and more about the r ole the cultural and creative sector can play in the sustainability transi tion of wider society. But what does that actually look like? Sometimes ne w regulations seem to clash with day-to-day practice. Not everyone creates work that focuses on environmental sustainability, and yet everyone can c ontribute to a positive climate footprint. How can you also ensure that en vironmental sustainability is fully integrated into your organisation’s po licy, without compromising other important values?

Check the entire Warming Up Festival program here.
