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».

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.

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».

«In the next century, human civilization will likely look back from its singular planetary awareness upon today’s nationalist revivals and Great Power rivalries as the last hurrah of a lingering past still foolishly fragmented by its tribal origins. 

Even as so many nations appear to be going their own way, embroiled in historically familiar trade wars and military conflicts, the simultaneous emergence of AI-driven planetary-scale computation is disclosing the imperative of forging a common future.The material basis of this evolving consciousness is the technological exoskeleton of satellites, sensors and cloud computation, which is expanding the heretofore limited scope of human understanding of the world and repositioning our place in the natural order. The climate crisis this apparatus has unveiled is a window into the realization that we are neither above nor apart from nature, but part and parcel of one interdependent organism comprised of multiple intelligences striving for sustainable equilibrium.

«(...) Homer began to explore Florida on another trip in search of warmer climes. Following a brief stint in Tampa in the mid-1880s, where he captured the state’s spiky palm trees in Thornhill Bar (1886), he sailed to Key West, paying even closer attention to the landscape. Here, Homer depicted tropical characteristics he hadn’t found in Cuba or the Bahamas: Key West’s sense of isolation and its exposure to strong winds.(...). Veja aqui.

«(...) As regulations harden, disclosure is no longer a matter of glossy sustainability reports or stakeholder communications. It is becoming a financial and legal obligation.

Australia’s AASB S2 standards will require climate disclosures that are assured to the same standard as financial statements. In Europe, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) already demand granular, auditable reporting. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finalised rules that link climate risk to investor protection.

Each of these regimes shifts ESG out of “nice-to-have” territory and into the core accountability of chief financial officers, auditors, and boards. Layer onto that the economic climate. Companies facing inflationary pressures and tighter capital markets are scrutinising headcount. Dedicated ESG roles, once seen as an expansionary investment, are now being folded into existing functions.

This makes sense in a compliance-driven world: finance and risk teams already have the skills to manage reporting, while procurement and operations are natural homes for supply chain sustainability. The stand-alone ESG department is giving way to a more distributed model - leaner in numbers, but broader in reach. (...)».

SUPLEMENTO EXPRESSO | «Sustentável ou não: eis a questão»



«Não faltam no país exemplos de boas práticas. Mas também temos pesados desafios por resolver

Texto Miguel Prado Ilustração Paulo Buchinho

A sustentabilidade é “todo o equilíbrio social, económico e ambiental”, resume Diogo Caetano, da associação ambientalista Amigos dos Açores. A ilha de São Miguel é um de muitos locais do país onde o crescimento do turismo reforçou a necessidade de adotar medidas para conciliar os interesses de uma fileira com as necessidades das comunidades locais.

Hoje a sustentabilidade domina as preocupações de muitos decisores, dos líderes políticos, que respondem perante o eleitorado, aos gestores, que prestam contas aos acionistas. Nos mercados financeiros globais, nunca se emitiu tanta “dívida verde” como em 2024. Cada vez mais os bancos querem ver o que estão os clientes empresariais a fazer pela sustentabilidade. “Isso tem impacto no custo de financiamento”, observa Duarte Cordeiro, ex-ministro do Ambiente e sócio da consultora Shiftify.

Mas, ao mesmo tempo que crescem as emissões de dívida indexada a metas de sustentabilidade, permanece alguma desconfiança dos consumidores face aos rótulos verdes e às empresas que se vendem como amigas do ambiente sem o serem de facto (o chamado greenwashing). Apesar da popularidade dos pergaminhos de sustentabilidade, cá dentro e lá fora são muitos os desafios que enfrentamos para promover um mundo ambientalmente mais limpo e socialmente mais justo e inclusivo, sem pôr em causa a viabilidade económica dos projetos necessários para criar emprego duradouro.

A demógrafa Maria João Valente Rosa pede, num artigo que pode ler neste especial, “realismo corajoso, em vez de estratégias míopes e oportunistas”, porque, defende, “a demografia não é insustentável”. Porém, com a produção de combustíveis fósseis ainda a crescer no planeta, pondo em causa as metas climáticas de combate ao aquecimento global, o quadro que temos dá poucas garantias de que estejamos a fazer tudo ao nosso alcance em prol da sustentabilidade. E nas cidades não basta eletrificar todos os carros para termos urbes verdadeiramente sustentáveis. Aperte o cinto. O caminho é longo».

«Culture and climate action»

 


«Climate change hinders the exercise of cultural rights and affects the preservation of all forms of cultural heritage and expressions. Therefore, heritage and creativity must be integrated into global climate change discussions and actions. It is crucial to formulate robust policies to safeguard cultural assets while fostering resilience in the face of climate change.
Indigenous and traditional knowledge offers valuable insights into climate resilience and strategies, helping communities adapt to changing environments and maintain their cultural identities in the face of adversity. Culture-based climate strategies can also enhance social equity, promote sustainable livelihoods, and contribute to overall community well-being.
Cultural expressions can also raise awareness about climate change, enhance public understanding, and mobilize communities to take action. Artists, cultural professionals, and practitioners offer new perspectives and solutions that bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public engagement, leading to more effective and inclusive climate actions».
