Exploring the Sustainability Development Goal for Responsible Consumption and Production, this volume provides insights from the performing arts, festivals and events, film industry, and fashion sectors.

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.

Her work has been widely disseminated through international peer-reviewed journals as well as more widely accessible formats such as online open-access articles and podcasts.
