“Cultural institutions can be important multipliers and models for advancing the transition to sustainability. Although the sector has recognised the priority of sustainability in recent years, it lacks both a specific model of sustainability that could guide this transition and a systematic knowledge of the current state of sustainability actions. I present the ‘Sustainability Star’, developed as a sustainability model as part of collaborative research with cultural institutions. This model forms the basis of a survey of the sustainability practices of over 200 of the world's leading museums, theatres and opera houses. The presentation will address the main findings of the study, including the state of the art in social and environmental sustainability, the differences between museums and the performing arts, and between regions of the world. It identifies important factors influencing the achievement of sustainability and concludes with a discussion of potential next steps to make cultural institutions leaders in the transition to sustainability”.
