Music Declare Emergency - Canada
Music Declares Emergency (MDE) is an independent group, created by artists, music industry professionals and organisations concerned at the lack of a cohesive, industry-wide response to the climate emergency.
MDE represents all areas of the music industry irrespective of genre, role, gender, race or sexuality and is led by individuals united by a deep concern for the climate and ecological emergency we currently face. We recognize that the music industry, due to its unique challenges needs its own group to drive this debate.
MDE is an independent group that includes individuals who have been directly inspired by, or involved in a variety of environmental organizations and land defence movements in Canada and other music industry professionals.They work to embed environmental sustainability into their operations, creative work, and business practice.
There is now a Canadian chapter for the organization – which is the first of it’s kind in the country to focus on the climate emergency amongst the music community. They’re volunteer driven at the moment and looking to amplify the message to artists across Canada.
