Empowering TV For climate action
TV has the power to make us sit up and pay attention. So how do we put climate impact at the heart of all our programmes?
Ignite: Climate Content Summit is our annual event bringing together climate thought leaders, researchers, and TV’s top talent to discuss how to put the climate crisis and the solutions on the screen.
This year, you’ll hear from climate experts about the most pressing issues, as well as finding out how all genres, from reality to drama, can play an important role in bringing them to life. You’ll also hear from Commissioners and Execs to find out what exciting ideas they’re looking for.
