Launch of the GCC Stocktake Report 2025

25 Nov 2025 

2025 marks a pivotal moment for the visual arts sector. We are five years into the decisive decade - the period in which urgent climate action is essential - and at the midpoint of GCC’s ten-year strategy. To mark this milestone, we are proud to launch the GCC Stocktake Report 2025, a comprehensive assessment of the sector’s progress on climate action and the road ahead to 2030.

 

The Stocktake brings together six years of data and insights, drawn from the GCC Carbon Calculator, qualitative research, and engagement with organisations across the sector. It provides the clearest picture yet of where we stand, the systemic and behavioural shifts required, and the opportunities to accelerate meaningful change.

 

What you’ll find inside

  • Headline insights on sector-wide emissions, reduction pathways, and the limits of carbon data alone
  • Case studies of organisations leading the way in embedding climate action into core operations
  • Analysis of the trends and signals that show the sector approaching a tipping point, where isolated efforts begin to align into collective transformation
  • An honest assessment of the barriers slowing progress, from structural constraints to capacity gaps
  • Forward-looking guidance on the systemic and behavioural shifts required to meet 2030 targets
  • Targeted recommendations to help organisations act with greater speed, confidence, and impact

 

This mid-decade checkpoint is sobering but galvanising. The world is increasingly likely to overshoot the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement, underscoring the urgency of accelerating sector-wide action. Yet the Stocktake also demonstrates that the visual arts community is already embedding environmental responsibility into culture, strategy, and decision-making.

 

We invite everyone in the sector - organisations, artists, funders, and policymakers - to explore the report, reflect on the findings, and act together to seize this tipping point. The Stocktake is not just a record of progress; it’s a call to action to transform insight into collective impact.

a propósito

de lá:
«(...) O primeiro relatório do progresso da indústria das artes visuais na redução para metade das emissões com efeito de estufa até 2030 mostra que cerca de 80% dos membros da Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) que estão a medir a sua pegada ambiental já a reduziram em mais de 25%. O GCC 2025 Stocktake Report, divulgado no fecho da COP30 — Cimeira do Clima das Nações Unidas, envia uma mensagem clara: se o mundo da arte replicasse estas medidas à escala global, poderia reduzir as suas emissões anuais “em mais de cinco milhões de toneladas de CO₂, o equivalente à pegada anual de um pequeno país”. Em Portugal, a única entidade que comprovou estar a implementar estas práticas responsáveis é a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.(...)».

«Amazon Assessment Report 2025 _ CONNECTIVITY OF THE AMAZON FOR A LIVING PLANET»

 







Mais

«The Amazon is under threat from deforestation, environmental degradation, and climate change, with changes happening at unprecedented rates. The conservation of the Amazon requires an integrated, transdisciplinary approach that considers the region’s deep interconnections—across geological systems, climate systems, ecosystems, peoples, and governance systems—to shape an effective, inclusive path forward through sustainable development. This assessment report aims to provide science-based, actionable solutions that can conserve and restore healthy Amazonian environments, societies, and economies. We focus on maintaining and restoring the region’s ecological and sociocultural connectivity, which is defined as the interconnectedness within and between ecological and social systems and depends on the flow and movement of species, resources, information, and people. Eight dimensions of ecological and sociocultural connectivity are highlighted, along with some of the current solutions and innovative interventions being created, developed, and implemented by diverse actors across various spatial and temporal scales. We hope to inspire our readers to look for long-term solutions that are scalable, fair, just, and appropriate for our vision of a living Amazon».

«About the Science Panel for the Amazon 
The Science Panel for the Amazon is an unprecedented initiative convened under the auspices of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN). The SPA aims to synthesize and communicate scientific knowledge about the Amazon, interwoven with Indigenous and Local Knowledge, to accelerate solutions for sustainable and equitable development. It is composed of over 300 preeminent scientists and researchers from the eight Amazonian countries, French Guiana, and global partners. These experts come together to debate, analyze, and assemble the accumulated knowledge of the scientific community, Indigenous Peoples, and other stakeholders that live and work in the Amazon, with the aim of providing recommendations, opportunities and policy relevant options for its conservation and sustainable development».

DISCUTAMOS! | É preciso voltar a pôr o «Integrated Reporting» nas agendas, isso o que lemos por aí, nomeadamente no artigo «Biodiversity risk is transforming ESG reporting: Lonsec»

 


É verdade, sem prejuízo de haver Relatórios que aprofundem especificidades, a nosso ver é fundamental termos o RELATÓRIO ÚNICO que nos mostre a TOTALIDADE. Há que retomar esse caminho de forma intencional e não nos dispersarmos. Além do mais com as possibilidades tecnológicas ao nosso alcance a convergência para uma informação global e integrada - unificada -  está ao nosso alcance e pode ser disponibilizada em tempo real. E até lembramos o que alguém já disse: «o site já é o relatório» ... 
Cá estamos uma vez mais - e fizemo-lo muito recentemente - a lembrar esta obra:



De lá: «The Integrated Reporting Framework and Integrated Thinking Principles are maintained under the auspices of the IFRS Foundation, a global not-for-profit, public interest organisation established to develop high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted accounting and sustainability disclosure standards. The Integrated Reporting Framework can be used to connect financial statements and sustainability-related financial disclosures. The IFRS Foundation’s International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) are jointly responsible for the Integrated Reporting Framework»..

Terminemos, como começámos,  com o  Lonsec:

Rematamos, questionando: no nosso País, sobre esta problemática, o que estarão a fazer a COMISSÃO DE NORMALIZAÇÃO CONTABILÍSTICA, a ORDEM DOS CONTABILISTAS CERTIFICADOS, a ORDEM DOS ECONOMISTAS, ... E, claro, Escolas de referência. Digam-nos, porque desconhecemos.

«G20 South Africa Summit: Leaders’ Declaration»

 



O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL NO «G20 JOANESBURGO» | para garantir o futuro voltemos às origens!

 



inteligentemente, voltamos às «origens»

  • «Sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It integrates economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection, ensuring long-term health and stability of all people and our planet. As major global actors, G20 nations play a pivotal role in driving sustainable development».

Inteligentemente INVISTA-SE no RELATÓRIO INTEGRADO que nos dê ao mesmo tempo «economia, ambiente, social» a que se acrescente agora «a governança» e a «cultura». Não será «exótico» avançar que entretanto se abandonou o «integrado» como, por exemplo, se defende na obra seguinte.


«Winner of the 2010 PROSE Award for Best Business, Finance, & Management Book!
"One Report" refers to an emerging trend in business taking place throughout the world where companies are going beyond separate reports for financial and nonfinancial (e.g., corporate social responsibility or sustainability) results and integrating both into a single integrated report. At the same time, they are also leveraging the Internet to provide more detailed results to all of their stakeholders and for improving their level of dialogue and engagement with them. Providing best practice examples from companies around the world, One Report shows how integrated reporting adds tremendous value to the company and all of its stakeholders, including shareholders, and also ultimately contributes to a sustainable society.
  • Focuses on the emerging trend of integrated reporting as a top priority for companies, investors, regulators, auditors and civil society
  • Provides compelling case studies from some of the world's leading companies doing integrated reporting
  • Addresses how companies can move toward One Report and how it can become a keystone of a sustainable strategy for both the company and society
  • Explains what others-such as analysts, shareholders, other stakeholders, auditors, regulators, legislators, and civil society-need to do to enable the rapid and broad adoption of One Report
Filled with case studies and the most current trends on integrated reporting, this book is an invaluable guidebook on the future of reporting and how this future can lead to a sustainable society».
