Julie's Bicycle

Who we are

JB is a leading non-profit putting climate action at the heart of culture. We believe that creativity is a powerful catalyst for change — and that the arts and cultural sector has a vital role to play in building a just, regenerative future.

For over 15 years, we’ve worked with artists, cultural institutions, funders, and policymakers to mobilise creative climate leadership and action through advocacy, research, policy influence, training, path-finding projects and community building. We champion climate justice, centre equity, and believe that environmental solutions must be driven by cultural shifts as well as systems change.

Our culture and values

The climate crisis is a cultural crisis

To build a consensus for rapid action on climate change, a shift in cultural attitudes, narratives and practices is needed.

The power of culture

Arts and culture play a powerful role in our lives and can inspire audiences, shift hearts and minds and create new ways of living and working.

Science, data and expertise

We are guided by a deep respect for science, data, and expertise. Robust information and research underpin our work.

Justice and fairness

We recognise that the climate and biodiversity crisis has its roots in harmful systems and unfairly impacts those who have contributed least to its causes. JB champions climate justice and the imperative to embed justice and fairness into transformative action across the cultural community.

Good stewardship

Climate action requires a fundamental commitment to care and good stewardship.

It takes everyone

The collective strength of the cultural community is a unified movement of action, encompassing many perspectives and voices, working towards a shared purpose.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to being an Equal Opportunities Employer; we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, culture, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
