A New Paradigm 4:30 - 5:30PM A joyful, forward-thinking discussion envisioning a Hollywood that embraces the importance of values-forward storytelling and workflows. This conversation draws connections between sustainable production, better access and resources for diverse storytellers, storytelling that reflects our values, and their relationship to building something better. NextGen Viewers: Communicating Climate in Children’s Media 6PM - 7PM Presented By: Paramount In Partnership With: Children's Media Association The climate crisis is taking a toll on our children's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. How can we effectively communicate climate knowledge, particularly through children's media, to instill hope in future generations? Join our panel of scientists, advocates, and storytellers as we explore the crucial role of media in educating and inspiring young people about environmental conservation and climate action. We'll discuss how creators are approaching climate education across various platforms, including strategies for engaging both kids and parents. Spotlight on TV Climate Stories 7:30 - 8:30PM Sponsored By: Bloomberg Philanthropies | Good Energy Television has become a pivotal medium for climate stories, allowing creatives to express climate realities alongside their characters as they grow and change throughout a season. In this discussion, we'll challenge the misconception that incorporating climate into storytelling makes it less appealing to audiences. Instead, we'll showcase how climate themes have sparked creativity in television. Featuring shows like "Murder at the End of the World," "The Girls on the Bus," "Hacks," and more. Centering Local Stories: Unscripted Television 8:30 - 9:30PM Sponsored By: Hot & Toxic powered by the Gas Leaks Project When it comes to understanding climate solutions, firsthand stories from local communities experiencing climate impacts are often easier to grasp than global data points. This panel explores the importance of local storytelling in conveying climate change and sustainability. We'll examine how regional narratives connect with national-level discussions. Join us as we highlight how climate solutions hit close to home. Building a Culture of Sustainability on Set 8:30 - 9:30PM Unions and Guilds are working together to create a culture of sustainability on film & tv productions. Join us for an inter-departmental conversation to learn how creatives and crew are rallying around Clean Energy, Climate Storytelling, and Circularity, Materials & Waste reduction.

This week, alongside the Hollywood Climate Summit - or - as some have been referring to it "Hollywood Climate Week" haha -- The Hollywood Reporter is putting out their annual sustainability issue. When they approached Ali Weinstein, Heather Fipps, and myself to write a piece, the concept that kept coming up was the breadth of climate storytelling leaders, experts, and definitions that currently exist. Being conveners who are learning from and amplifying all types of research and strategy, we figured what better way to celebrate our amazing partners in the climate storytelling ecosystem than to create a guide that links out to their work! Shoutout to: Good Energy Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)’s Rewrite the Future, Rare, Hip Hop Caucus, The Center for Cultural Power, The Redford Center, Hollywood, Health & Society Climate Spring, Futerra, Intersectional Environmentalist, , DOC SOCIETY, NDN Collective, Harmony Labs, Reality of Change, Grist, Cinereach and more. Of course, no op-ed or book can fit in every climate storytelling expert, so if you have other organizations and leaders doing this work that you want to spotlight, comment below ✨ PS --> The amount of times I've responded to people who don't understand what I do in the climate and social impact media spaces with "making activism sexy" has now been validated in this title. See ya'll tomorrow at the first day of the Hollywood Climate Summit 📽 🌲 https://lnkd.in/gFTjcScf
