The Music Climate Pact is a global platform, initiated by the UK's Association of Independent Music (AIM) and record labels association the BPI, as a response to COP26 and the urgent call for collective action to combat the climate crisis.

The Pact sets out a series of high-level commitments that will serve as a declaration of intent for the global music sector.

The Pact brings together key actors (the independent music community, major music groups and others) to align as a sector and address our biggest environmental impacts in an efficient and collaborative way.

We believe that through collective action and a unified voice, the music industry will be best-placed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate our contribution to global climate change and ignite broader societal action on the climate crisis.

Following on from the Paris Agreement, nations and businesses across the world have established ambitious programmes to address climate change and limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The decisions that we make now, as an industry and as individual businesses, are vital if we are to take meaningful and timely action.
