Music Moves Europe

This action is expected to raise awareness in and to reinforce the knowledge of the European music sector on the topic and to encourage the development, experimentation, dissemination or application of concrete practices on how to foster the green transition and environmental sustainability of the music sector at EU level.

The Music Moves Europe initiative promotes a diverse, competitive, innovative and sustainable European music sector. Key challenges persist in the sector that is still in a recovery mode following the COVID-19 pandemic; its slow recovery has been impacted further by rising costs through inflation and soaring energy prices that were triggered by the unlawful Russian aggression of Ukraine. 

At the same time, the music sector has to face the global challenge of climate change and wants to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. In line with the European Green Deal and complementing the EU policy agenda for culture (EU Work Plan for Culture 2023-2026, action on “stimulating the green transition”), the present action Music Moves Europe aims at supporting the green transition and environmental sustainability of the music ecosystem along the value-chain (from creation to distribution).
