WHAT WE DO
Hollywood Climate Summit (HCS) is an annual conference that creates a community space and collective strategy for thousands of entertainment and media professionals to take action on climate. With our 300+ partners, we facilitate connections between climate leaders from corporate sustainability, government, nonprofits, science, and education with the media sector spanning film, TV, social media, journalism, games, sports, and marketing.
Having engaged more than 40K professionals and 7K companies across 65 countries, HCS has grown into one of the entertainment industry's most influential platforms for climate advocacy and storytelling.
HCS is housed under our new nonprofit, Context Collaborative, which directs cultural attention to climate issues, leveling up how they resonate across the stories, platforms, and experiences people love.
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. People working in these sectors or who are a part of the creator economy make influential choices everyday: what to cut vs. what to promote, which sound bites are worth repeating, what’s fashionable, who is deemed cool and who gets canceled.

THE FACTS
Pop culture is deeply influential to cultural “truths” it informs our societal perception of who we are and what is important to us. Today, the entertainment sector is also part of the information and communication sector. Adults trust science information from documentary films over news sources, GenZ uses TikTok and instagram as their primary news source and search engine, and some people spend more time with TV or video game characters than they do with people in their own families—19 hours weekly on average.
Research firm Harmony Labs recently shared the massive potential entertainment media has to reach people currently unengaged with climate information:
“Entering the next frontier of climate communications requires knowing which audiences haven’t been reached, where they gather, what drives them, and how we reach them. Spoiler alert: these audiences aren’t the usual suspects, and they’re not reading news, which is where most climate content currently lives. We need to meet the un- and under-engaged where they already are. This means storytellers must leverage the incredible power of all cultural content to connect with audiences on climate.” - Harmony Labs' How to Reach New Climate Audiences
