Mission

• GCC is an international charity and membership organisation providing environmental sustainability guidelines for the art sector.

• GCC will facilitate a reduction of the sector’s carbon emissions by at least 50% by 2030 (in line with the Paris Agreement), by setting actionable goals and developing the necessary resources.

• GCC promotes effective action towards decarbonisation through collaboration and innovation.

• GCC will use its collective lobbying potential to achieve major systemic change by aligning an international network of galleries, artists, non-profits & institutions, and art-sector businesses to the same targets.
