TV and film have massive influence across the globe. The narratives they create have the potential to both transform public perceptions and accelerate policy responses, as demonstrated by the dramatic impact caused by ITV’s Mr Bates vs the Post Office, in the UK.
In this latest instalment of the Sustainability Accelerator’s ‘Reinventing’ series, panellists discuss how movies and TV have the potential to reshape climate conversations around the world, using the power of creativity to unlock a better future. Discussions draw on movies that are already leading the way, such as Netflix’s Don’t Look Up and the critically acclaimed The End We Start From released earlier this year.
Some key questions include:
- How are films and TV finding new ways to contribute to our collective response to climate change?
- How are ideas of the climate crisis spurring innovation within the film and TV industry?
- In the context of changing climate impact forecasts, can TV and film create a culture of resilience?
- How can film and TV better reflect a changing society?
The panel discussion will be followed by a drinks reception with an exhibition element.
