The Roadmap has been developed in partnership with (AGF) A Greener Future and Greener Events Norway. Also, a self-assessment tool - Future Festivals Tools - and a compendium of best practice - Green Festival Storiesare available online, separate from this Roadmap.

The European Green Festival Roadmap 2030 aims to give European festivals a reliable guide to action and accompanying measures they need for the inevitable process of transformation up to the end of the decade. The Roadmap 2030 is the first pan-European publication of its kind to be jointly developed and published by and for the festival sector and is also relevant as an aid for organisers of festivals and other large and open-air events far beyond the borders of the EU. The Roadmap provides a comprehensive framework for the ambitious sustainable improvement of cultural events, from management structures to concrete technical measures in the various action fields of the creation and production process. The Roadmap can be used by any European festival or cultural event, make sure to adapt the actions to your own circumstances; each festival is unique! Festivals have a wide impact and influence and provide a temporary platform for experimentation and innovation. Many larger festivals now have robust environmental policies in place, and are educating and inspiring their stakeholders and attendees in the process of becoming “green”. More and more, performers, audiences and suppliers are wanting to be associated with an event that is environmentally friendly, and festivals are gaining support and admiration for fulfilling those ambitions.
