Future of this Arts Network

I enjoyed being part of this network but it seemed to flare into being then die back very quickly. At its time of fading, a number of other networks distracted me: ecology/climate & culture networks including A Case for Optimism, Tipping Point, the Dark Mountain project, Common Cause etc and some smaller or more temporary initiatives: wellbeing/education and culture networks such as The Plays the Thing (Pat Kane…See More

Projects on cultural heritage & global climate disruption

I'm planning to develop a number of strands of work on cultural heritage and global climate disruption. At the core will be some deep and prolonged research looking at the role of cultural heritage organisations in engaging communities around sustainability, biodiversity and adapting to the effects of climate change. Around this Flow Associates will be aiming to run some creative public projects (on creative activism in the face of rising sea levels and so on) and a professional network for the cultural heritage sector (building on this framework http://www.box.net/shared/zxu0sc0odf.) I don't want to be more specific yet, as things are still evolving, but if anyone has suggestions on:
Funding and partnership possibilities
Case studies - good practice in other countries
Ideas and texts I might read
...I would be very grateful.
