The Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC), a sustainability charity founded in London in 2020, has launched a new consultancy called Climate Action Services International (Casi) to help galleries, museums, and cultural organizations turn climate commitments into measurable action. Casi offers services such as carbon auditing, decarbonisation strategies, governance advice, and staff training, and follows a pilot phase working with institutions including English Heritage, Hauser & Wirth, and Art Fund. The consultancy is structured as a mission-driven social enterprise that will reinvest 51% of its profits into GCC.
This launch matters because it addresses a critical gap in the art world's climate efforts: while GCC provides free tools and awareness, many organizations lack the technical expertise and capacity to implement meaningful changes, especially given the sector's reliance on international shipping, temporary exhibitions, and energy-intensive installations. By offering tailored, hands-on support, Casi aims to help the visual arts sector not only reduce emissions but also leverage its cultural influence to drive broader public understanding and behavioral change around climate action.
