A Greener Future (AGF) is bringing together its wealth of accumulated knowledge and experience in sustainability training under a brand-new identity, the not-for-profit company is introducing AGFe – A Greener Future Education. Dedicated to providing practice-led, research-informed, actionable training and education, AGFe will support the efforts of the events industry to decarbonise and meet the challenges of climate change.
AGF’s industry-leading training and education programmes draw upon this pioneering work, together with 20 years of global experience and knowledge developed through helping events, festivals, arenas, suppliers, and artists to become more sustainable and reduce their environmental impact. To date,
AGF has trained over 1,000 participants globally through its assessor training online and in-person courses hosted by universities across the UK and beyond.
“AGF has been conscious for some time that there is a sustainability knowledge and skills gap across the cultural and creative sectors, as well as the wider events industry,” says AGF Director and
Head of AGFe, Dr Teresa Moore. “Without skilled and knowledgeable practitioners, decarbonising the sector will be much slower than it should be. We are acutely aware that time is not on our side regarding climate change.
AGFe will continue to provide in-house and bespoke training for organisations in the UK and internationally having previously worked with the Royal Parks, Manchester City Council, Bristol City Council, The Royal Horticultural Society, Circular Culture Mexico, British Council India, and staff teams from Bournemouth Arts University, University of the West of England, and Falmouth University.
