Screen New Deal

The film production industry requires systemic change to be environmentally sustainable.

Our report sets out a routemap to achieve this goal…

While hard to imagine, climate science outlines that we need, not just to reduce our impact, but to eliminate it. This report highlights five key areas of opportunity to help the film industry achieve this goal.

We hope that this report and its recommendations will not be seen as a duty but as a chance to improve financial efficiencies and to increase the viability and desirability of sustainable filming destinations.

So what's our impact?

In a word? Big.

Huge, even.

And it’s not that surprising when you think of the sheer number of people involved in a production (just watch those credits roll!) or the huge effort put in by each and every person to create the breathtaking films we all enjoy.

But it’s an impact we can no longer ignore. The climate crisis demands that every industry rethinks its practices so that together we can achieve net zero.

It’s time for the film industry to write its own script for the future.

How can we change?

We can’t sugarcoat it or pretend it’s going to be easy, but by breaking this report down into 5 key areas, we hope that the changes proposed feel both realistic and actionable. Below we highlight the 5 key areas we explored and the vision we have for each.
