Over the past decade, climate action has surged across governments, cities, and industries, transforming global ambition into tangible progress. The Accelerator City for Climate Action initiative, launched by UN Climate Change, unites cities and the creative industries to pioneer climate innovation in influential sectors such as live music, film, television, and major events — areas that shape culture and inspire societal change.

At COP30, this session will spotlight Liverpool, the world’s first Accelerator City, and its pioneering partnerships with BBC, BAFTA, C40 Cities, ESA, and others. Building on Liverpool’s success, the next phase of the initiative will expand global collaboration to develop practical solutions for sustainable cultural production — demonstrating how creativity, storytelling, and technology together can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.
