Music Declares Emergency has launched the 'Hope Over Fear' campaign
The campaign will launch regional climate hubs across the UK and Ireland.
Music Declares Emergency have unveiled 'Hope Over Fear', a new initiative aimed at strengthening their efforts to address climate change within the UK music scene.
This campaign will see the establishment of regional climate hubs, developed in collaboration with the Music Venue Trust, to engage local communities in climate action through music.
A range of artists - including IDLES, Yard Act, ENTER SHIKARI, Maisie Peters, jasmine 4.t (pictured), Beak, Orla Gartland, The Pogues and more - will support the campaign by donning specially designed t-shirts and sharing positive messages throughout November.
Lewis Jamieson*, CEO of Music Declares Emergency, emphasised the campaign's goal, stating, "Five years since our launch of NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET, a slogan that has come to encapsulate the commitment of artists, music businesses and fans to making a positive contribution to acting on the climate emergency, we felt it was time to bring a new message. By bringing our message into towns and cities across the UK through the amazing grassroots venues that are the starting point for so many musical journeys and the creative hubs that underpin UK music, we will strengthen the bonds between music fans, music promoters, and artists who are committed to making a positive difference in their communities. In doing so, we will build a roadmap from declaring an emergency to creating the alternative.”
