Cultural sites and festivals can act as catalysts for sustainable development when bringing people together around big and small experiences. The ‘Aarhus Sustainability Model’ for sustainable development includes a guide and examples to bring sustainability into a European context across the cultural sectors. For example, NorthSide, Denmark’s most sustainable festival, takes place in Aarhus, and the organisers of the event have ensured green solutions for everything, from food and dealing with waste to power supply based on 100% green electricity. The festival’s sustainability programme ‘Lead the Way’ governs decisions about procurement, investment, collaborators, interior design, resource management, transport, charity and the supply of organic food and beverages throughout the festival. Likewise, Aarhus’ Moesgaard Museum is one of the world’s most energy-efficient museums, built with sustainability in mind from the start, including building materials and an optimal use of daylight, decreasing overall energy consumption and water waste. The green roof of the museum contributes to decreasing the energy consumption of the building and reduces the overall need for cooling due to decreased heat absorption.Find out more at: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/55220233/aarhus-sustainability-model
