Company activities and impact

We have identified and supported the creative development of a range of TV shows and films which include climate narratives. The content we develop will engage and activate audiences on issues relating to the climate crisis, and has had a substantial impact in building interest and awareness of this work within the screen industry. We ran Hot House, a talent development scheme for people from marginalised backgrounds who are writing climate projects for TV/film. The scheme helps those who are selected for the development lab to support the creative development of their projects, and to further their careers. There are substantial barriers facing those from marginalised backgrounds, and this scheme is designed to help them overcome these. As a result of the scheme three of the selected participants progressed on to other talent development schemes with the BBC, and all built relationships with a series of production companies interested in their work as writers. We provided editorial advice to a range of production companies on climate elements of their stories. The inclusion of climate elements in mainstream film and TV projects will engage and educate audience members on the issues, and encourage climate positive behaviour. One of the shows we worked on - After The Flood, aired in January 2024 on ITV and was streamed by 20m people, receiving substantial media coverage and audience engagement on related issues on rising flood risk and community response to the climate crisis. We organised and held a number of networking events for production companies, agents and creators, building relationships and educating them on the power of climate storytelling. This has had substantial impact on the screen industry, engaging key stakeholders and building the industry’s capacity to tell compelling climate stories

Consultation with stakeholders

We have three categories of stakeholders, all of whom have been consulted 1. The screen industries – we work closely with established individuals and companies to inform our strategy and our best intervention 2. Third sector climate campaigning organisations – we consult with climate organisations to both ensure that we are providing the best advice to production companies, and to adjust our editorial brief. As part of this we are moving towards creating and issuing specific editorial briefs around certain topics 3. Climate funders – we consult with climate funders to limit duplication in the space and to build a collaborative sector. As a result of this we have begun working with new organisations and adjusted our strategy. 4. Climate storytelling organisations – we coordinate and convene those working in the ecosystem to maximise impact.
