UK music industry group declares climate emergency

A range of British music artists, labels and studios banded together Friday to declare a climate and ecological emergency and pledged to rethink their environmental impact. The Music Declares Emergency collective said the industry lacked a cohesive response to climate change. Some of the artists signed up include Radiohead, the Pretenders, Mick Hucknall, Tom Odell and Siobhan Fahey. UK record labels including Sony, Decca, Polydor, Universal, Virgin EMI, Warner and Domino are supporting the campaign. Signatories called on governments to reverse biodiversity loss and reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by no later than 2030.
