Who are Artists Project Earth?
Vision
Through music and the arts, APE aims to achieve permanent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to levels that minimise further degradation of ecological systems and human livelihood.
APE recruits internationally known musicians and artists through albums, concerts, art exhibitions and art related projects to raise awareness of climate change and funds for campaigns and disaster relief.
Mission
We identify both the opportunities that enable people, especially in the world’s richest countries, to reduce their emissions and the obstacles that hold people back. We devise innovative and effective ways of communication that encourage people to share this experience.
We recognise that individuals cannot make the required changes on their own. We aim to create a powerful and vocal community of people working together to move technology, government and business forward to reduce emissions and make real and lasting changes to the way we live.
All our projects will demonstrate that our vision of stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions is practically attainable. APE believes that the many of the solutions are within reach, if only we have the will.
What is the Low Carbon Communities Network?
Aims:
- To encourage the adoption of low carbon and zero carbon technologies and lifestyles at a community level to enable groups engaged in this to be as effective and efficient as possible
- To create greater community and political awareness of the urgency of action required on climate change and offer clear pathways to identify high impact, achievable local solutions
- To create an effective lobbying organisation, working at the appropriate political level
- To work co-operatively with all other groups with similar aims
Our website should be up and running in a few days, and look out for the big announcement - this year’s date and location will be announced this week.
