1. Our Commitment

The Hollywood Climate Summit is committed to ensuring our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that climate action is for all, and that means making sure our digital presence is welcoming and usable by the widest possible audience.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our site.

 

2. Accessibility Features

We have taken the following steps to make our website more accessible:

General

• Semantic HTML structure to support screen readers and assistive technologies

• Sufficient color contrast between text and background elements

• Resizable text that does not break page layout

• Keyboard navigability throughout the site — no mouse required

• Clear, descriptive page titles and headings

• Descriptive alternative (alt) text for all meaningful images

Videos & Audio Content

• Captions provided for all pre-recorded video content

• Transcripts available for audio-only content

• Audio descriptions provided where visual content conveys important information not available in the audio track

• No auto-playing audio or video

Interactive Tools & Forms

• All form fields are clearly labeled and associated with their inputs

• Error messages are descriptive and identify the specific field requiring attention

• Sufficient time is given for any timed interactions

• Focus indicators are visible for all interactive elements

 

3. Known Limitations

While we aim for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, some areas of the site may not yet fully meet this standard. We are actively working to address these and will prioritize fixes based on impact to users.

If you encounter a barrier, please let us know using the contact details in Section 5.

We recommend using an up-to-date browser for the best experience.
