It is now scientifically proven that climate change is the result of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and these future emissions will determine the evolution of the climate in the next coming years. In order to not exceed an increase of 1.5 °C by 2100, we must rapidly curb our emissions to reach a net-zero by 2050. Following the process towards a Transition Bas Carbone initiated by Le Périscope (FR) and the presentation of its carbon strategy in early 2022, a new cooperation between Le Periscope and the AJC network has started in 2021. The goal of this initiative is to design a carbon study, to measure the impact of our industry on climate change, and to create a common trajectory in the field of jazz and improvised music.
