Murmur @murmurearth launches today, uniting the art and music sectors to raise funds and advocate for solutions to climate change. Our mission is to fund initiatives to help our industries to decarbonise; to finance transformative climate work; and to empower artists’ voices to create major societal change. Murmur has already raised over £1 million in pledges from the visual art and music worlds to help lead and drive change - and this is just the beginning. Partners commit to measure and reduce their own emissions in line with climate science and to contribute funds to Murmur to finance transformative climate action. They include @hauserwirth , @mendeswooddm , @thomasdanegallery ; @luma_arles ; @friezeofficial ; @alexandramollof ; @beggarsgroup , Secretly Affiliates, @ninjatune , @becausemusic and @k7records . Murmur is also supported by @impalamusic . Murmur has been created by @caiuspawson and Matthew Slotover with @victoriamaysiddall appointed as the Founding Director. Joining them on Murmur’s Board include top figures in the field of climate and sustainability Chris Stark (CEO of the UK Climate Change Committee), Vedantha Kumar (Climate Manager at the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation) and Will Hutton (Head of Sustainability for the Premier League).
