Hollywood Tackles Climate Through Storytelling

The Hollywood Climate Summit is returning to Los Angeles for its seventh annual conference next month. This year's event, organized by the nonprofit Context Collaborative, will center on climate storytelling across various entertainment platforms. The two-day summit, scheduled for June 3 and June 4, aims to foster climate literacy and engagement within the global media ecosystem.

Programming will feature discussions with key figures from popular shows like "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and "Pluribus," as well as insights from the creators of "The Plastic Detox." The event will also include sessions with actors, comedians, scientists, and advocates, offering diverse perspectives on communicating climate issues. Sessions will span mainstage conversations, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities.

The summit will be hosted at two prominent Los Angeles venues. On June 3, programming will be held at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The following day, June 4, events will take place at The Ebell of Los Angeles. This flagship conference by Context Collaborative seeks to unite creative and scientific communities to enhance how climate change is portrayed and understood.
