Labels and creatives can find out what support is available to run their business and release music in a more eco-friendly way. They can find out how to measure and reduce carbon emissions, how to support artists to speak up on climate issues and how to use their own platforms to raise awareness.

Disasters Emergency Committee fundraiser
