As global leaders meet for COP 26, DACS and Articheck have today published a briefing that outlines six actions governments can enable the cultural sector to collectively take across the world to make the arts and cultural institutions more sustainable.

Covid has hit culture hard – in Glasgow where the 2021 COP26 is being hosted, half of the city’s 160 cultural organisations have no plans to reopen due to financial distress. The briefing today details how organisations and individuals can work together to create a plan to save the arts sustainably.
