BLACK PEARL aims to support industry executives with the education they require on sustainability via panel discussions, events and thought leadership. It will also create content and collaborate with creative industry players to “redefine the cultural sustainability landscape,” said Pattinson.

The organisation will offer expertise, analysis, and customised solutions to serve partners’ and communities’ needs.

Pattinson, who has 13 years of industry experience and has been instrumental in helping draw up the programme for this year’s COP28 in Dubai, says BLACK PEARL’s mission is clear: to demonstrate that sustainability and culture are not separate entities but integral to each other. It seeks to usher in a new era where culture and sustainability are intertwined, driving positive change on a global scale.

“BLACK PEARL will unite culture and sustainability in order to weave an authentic representation of life, encompassed by important cultural factors such as age, race, class, identity, socioeconomics, disability, religion and educational attainment,” Pattinson says.
