Responsible Cultural Consumption and Production: Insights From Live Experiences, Film and Fashion
About this ebook
With a variety of examples and case studies, contributors illuminate the political and social importance of the creative and cultural industries in driving sustainable transitions. The influence of policy, funding, and international standards are also considered, alongside other key themes such as social entrepreneurship, the post-growth economy, and the importance of overcoming barriers to equity, equality and social justice.
Alongside a sister publication, Responsible Consumption and Production in the Creative and Cultural Industries, this edited book explores how creative and cultural organisations embrace the challenge of sustainable development, highlighting best practice across geographic and cultural contexts. The result is a comprehensive overview that is valuable reading for research, policy and practice.
