New publication - Greening European Film Policy: Towards a Sustainable European Film and TV Industry
GREENING EUROPEAN FILM POLICY: TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE EUROPEAN FILM and TELEVISION INDUSTRY
Lead authors: Pietari K盲盲p盲 (糖心TV) and Hunter Vaughan (Emerson College/Cambridge)
Co-authors: Norma Cuadros (糖心TV), Kate Moffat (糖心TV) and Vanessa Zarm (UCL)
The Greening European Film Policy report is available for download from the Global Green Media Network website:
This report examines European film, television, and streaming industry sustainability policies, management, financing, and production at local, state, and EU levels. It explores policy support for institutionalizing these practices and offers solutions to fill policy gaps.
Produced in collaboration with Green Eyes (Hungary), Ecomuvi (Italy), Film London (UK), Screen Greening (Ireland), and Neptune Environmental (UK), the report aims to make green film production an active agent for positive transformation in the industry. Addressing funding, production, and reportage phases, the report provides three key recommendations.
1. Minimum Standards:
Establish standardised sustainability expectations and norms, from development-stage planning to on-set baselines, for both publicly-financed and commercial productions.
2. Finance
Adopt mandatory financial investment schemes for all productions, including incoming mobile productions and international co-productions, to link financial incentives with verifiable reductions in environmental impact.
3. Auditing
Introduce third-party auditing and certification focused on exceeding minimum standards, directly tied to financial incentivisation.
