Edinburgh Launches Ambitious Festivals Vision
Edinburgh Festivals have come together with their stakeholders on the Edinburgh Festivals Forum to launch a joint Vision for the future. Launched in the festivals’ 75th anniversary year, Edinburgh: City of Imagination is a vision for a resilient and ambitious Festival City by 2030 – based on the unique value the festivals bring in connecting people, inspiring creative ideas, and bringing places alive in concentrated moments of communal celebration.
The 2030 Vision is to be a world leading sustainable festival city, based on six ambitions and an accompanying series of twelve actions across festivals and their stakeholders – a collective effort and leadership aimed at ensuring that Edinburgh’s Festival City flourishes even in uncertain times. It recognises that in order to renew and rebuild after two damaging years, there is a need to adapt in this changed era while holding onto fundamental purposes.
The UK: Creator of Responsible Fashion & Textiles
There are only eight years left to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Combine this with ever increasing global voluntary and mandatory requirements, where can you look for a source of trusted, authentic, sustainable and durable fashion and textiles?

To demonstrate the solutions that the UK can offer, our campaign is focused around five key messages: sustainability, innovation, creativity, authenticity and durability.
UKFT are on an ambitious journey towards a circular fashion and textiles system. UK industry and researchers are co-creating innovations along the entire supply chain, pushing boundaries to create a planet and people-positive future.
