Creative Green and Creative Climate Partnerships

Julie’s Bicycle’s Creative Green and Partnerships programme works with individual organisations and networks through consultancy and partnership. The programme combines sustainability expert advice, networking and peer-to-peer knowledge, supporting a wide variety of organisations in arts and culture to embed environmental sustainability into their value. From developing environmental action plans and training to designing net-zero pathways and sustainable exhibitions, we support organisations in incorporating sustainability into their strategy and governance, understanding their ecological impacts, and developing and monitoring action plans and practices. 

We collaborate to enable practical action for transformational change by working with diverse cultural organisations, including those in visual arts, museums, galleries, and theatre. Our Creative Green team partners with various organisations such as the British Film Institute, British Council Americas, Green Libraries Partnership, Tomas Saraceno Studio, Goethe Institute, Independent Cinema Office, Arts Council Ireland, and numerous European funding programmes. We also work with cultural services both in the UK and internationally across sectors including performance and music. 

JB offers a suite of free cultural sector-specific carbon calculator tools – the Creative Climate Tools - which are recognised as a world-first platform for carbon reporting and environmental monitoring for cultural organisations and businesses, including venues, tours, offices, and outdoor events. 

Our Partnership with Arts Council England 

Julie’s Bicycle is the partner for the Arts Council’s Environmental Programme, supporting organisations to take environmental action and meet their funding requirements and supporting the Arts Council to drive positive environmental change within the sector. The programme focuses on delivering support to organisations in: reporting their impacts and taking action using the Creative Climate Tools; running events, peer sharing sessions, webinars, signposting to and developing resources to deepen understanding around data use, and relevant topics in sustainability; broadening access to climate literacy via e-learning; providing a strand of workshops to provide targeted support for artists, creatives and freelancers, and; to inspire, develop and nurture sector leadership via a number of dedicated programme strands focused on governance, justice, resilience and decarbonisation. The programme is adaptive, and as we move into 2026, there is a significant opportunity to shape the delivery of our Decarbonisation programme in particular, to respond to the needs of the sector.

Our leadership strands include: 

Transforming Energy, our Arts Council England decarbonisation programme. This programme currently has two strands: Buildings Net Zero Energy supports building-based organisations in enhancing their energy management processes, and our Capital Investment Ready programme supports cohorts of advanced organisations in preparing their cultural venues for electrification, with a focus on 2030 decarbonisation goals. 

Additional strands include our Board Environmental Champions program, which helps trustees and board members of National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) and Investment Principles Support Organisations (IPSOs) incorporate environmental responsibility into governance, supported by a champions guide and peer networking sessions. The Leading Resilience programme, an ongoing pilot and mentoring initiative, fosters leadership within the portfolio and sector by enhancing understanding and skills for adapting to climate impacts. The Creative Climate Accelerator is a free training course designed for individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds, empowering them to develop skills and confidence to drive change in their communities.

A note on AI

While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly. On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are. We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work. 

Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
