Recommendation
Despite the good intentions and countless initiatives to reduce the environmental impacts of festivals, the growth of the market has undermined the sector’s efforts to reduce overall emissions, and the legacy of the pandemic presents a further threat to those measures. The Government and local authorities should signal their commitment to emissions targets by holding the festival sector to account on, and supporting, its pledges to reduce emissions, rather than letting it continue to mark its own homework.
Government response summary AI-generated
The Government agrees with the goal of supporting emissions reduction and will work with DEFRA and MHCLG to explore incorporating strict environmental measures into local authority licensing frameworks for festivals. They also acknowledge current industry efforts and urge organisers to continue progress.
