HEY HOLLYWOOD,

climate movement.

WE DEFINE HOLLYWOOD AS CROSS SECTOR

Hollywood is an origin and launchpad for communication that influences global culture. While “Hollywood” reflects our primary audience of entertainment professionals, our organization reaches a much broader community and connects major media industries.

WHAT WE DO

Now in its fifth year, the Hollywood Climate Summit organizes high-energy events and coordinates creative partnerships for cross-sector media professionals to level up their climate knowledge, align strategies, deepen intersectional values, showcase innovation, and lead a cultural movement of sustained climate action. In short, we’re bringing climate solutions to the mainstream and creating a bit of healthy FOMO along the way.

CORE STRATEGIES

Grow a culture of climate enthusiasm and level up climate literacy in the media ecosystem.

When creators and messengers of culture leverage their expertise and platforms to embrace the values needed in the era of climate change, they can drive systemic change and reshape dominant narratives of climate doom and fatalism into visions of optimism and justice. We energize climate optimism while deepening climate literacy.
