MIT reveals advisory committee for live-music climate study - Music Ally

Earlier this year we reported on Coldplay, Warner Music Group and Live Nation teaming up for a study of live music’s climate impact.

They were working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Environmental Solutions Initiative on a report to be finished by July, focusing on the US and UK.

Ahead of its publication, the project has expanded to include a veritable supergroup of additional experts. More than 50 people are joining an advisory committee for the study, which should make for some fun Zoom calls in the run-up to its release.

Billie Eilish’s manager Danny Rukasin; artist Ellie Goulding; WME partner Josh Javor; Harry Styles’ creative director Molly Hawkins and WMG CEO Robert Kyncl are all on the list. Live Nation boss Michael Rapino and a number of his senior colleagues are also on the committee.

That’s a lot of brains to pick, so the report is now expected to come out this autumn. The goal remains identifying key ways the live music sector can reduce its emissions, including analysing new technologies that can help with that.
