We are a growing international movement of individuals and organisations in the cultural sector declaring climate and ecological emergency. This means telling the truth, taking action and seeking justice.
CDEs strategic plan available to read here and information on the new structure and working groups is available here.

Actions & Events.
There will be opportunities to host your own events, assemblies and actions across the country throughout the Autumn - platforming your community's response to the times of emergency we're in. This is our chance to express a collective voice and call for political and community action as we build up to COP26 in November 2021.
When we launched in April 2019, we were the first professional declaration movement. Our call to action has been taken up by many sectors including Architects Declare & Music Declares, with whom we collaborate on leveraging change. Read our joint statement
