The Tallinn music sector sustainability guide Roheraider has been created for organisers in cooperation with Tallinn Music Week (TMW) and Viljandi Folk Music Festival. Roheraider outlines recommendations for organising environmentally friendly events and includes practical examples. It helps organisers to link their organisational principles more easily with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. From spring 2024, the city’s music project organisers are recommended to follow Roheraider I while organising their events.
