2025 Sustainability Report

Burning Man Project annual sustainability call on July 22 from 11am - 12:30pm PT / 2:00pm - 3:30pm ET.

On July 20, 2019, we published the 2030 Environmental Sustainability Roadmap and committed to three goals: 1) Handle Waste Ecologically, 2) Be Regenerative, and 3) Be Carbon Negative—all by 2030. We outlined clear milestones: establish baselines by 2020, pilot solutions by 2023, and begin wide implementation by 2025. Now, six years in and halfway to 2030, we’re in a transition between experimentation and scale.

This call is a chance to align, accelerate, and build the next phase—together. We’re not just imagining a better future; we’re prototyping it, scaling it, and inviting everyone to co-create the systems and culture needed to reach our 2030 goals. We will discuss progress and projects with people leading sustainability efforts.
