How Hollywood Is Crafting A New Climate Change Narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change affects every aspect of our lifestyles, which means it was only a matter of time before mainstream programming began reflecting this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>FEBRUARY 22, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLENTY OF ASPECTS of the climate<\/a> movement need revamping \u2014 the terminology and phrases that only scientists, governments and corporate sustainability departments understand<\/a>, the faceless statistics smeared across news headlines, the incessant admonishment of consumer behavior and the doom and gloom storytelling \u2014 to name a few. Concurrently, while the way the climate narrative is relayed to the masses is part of the problem, by all counts, it can be an integral part of the solution, and Hollywood is playing its part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Greener Kind of Screen <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While searching for initiatives focused on bringing climate-based realities on-screen without scaring people away, along with Good Energy, I connected with the Hollywood Climate Summit<\/a>. Embarking on its fourth year, the annual conference brings together entertainment and media professionals, activists and climate organizations to share knowledge and tools that can help Hollywood harness its massive platform to communicate climate stories in the most impactful way possible. Founded by Allison Begalman, Heather Fipps, Ali Weinstein and YEA! Impact, and presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, last year the event included think tanks, workshops and a star-studded roster of speakers, including Jane Fonda and Quinta Brunson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change affects every aspect of our lifestyles. So it was only a matter of time before mainstream programming began reflecting this \u2014 beyond the apocalyptic narratives many news headlines and dystopian films perpetuate. As the climate narrative continues to evolve and becomes more integrated into our culture, values-aligned companies have an opportunity to support efforts across the entertainment industry, as well as grassroots activism, through funding, branded content partnerships and creating their own campaigns to bring awareness to environmentalist practices.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think Hollywood has long until people just don\u2019t bother with them anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the world foreign movie studios are moving to fill the void left by Hollywood\u2019s unendurable wokeness. Foreign productions like\u00a0Fauda<\/a>\u00a0or the apocalyptic thriller\u00a0To the Lake<\/a>, starring the stunningly beautiful and talented\u00a0Viktoriya Agalakova<\/a>, with releases for English speaking audiences, are created to excite and entertain \u2013 a skill Hollywood appears to have largely forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
