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 Kääpä (Warwick) and Hunter Vaughan (Emerson College/Cambridge)

Co-authors: Norma Cuadros (Warwick), Kate Moffat (Warwick) and Vanessa Zarm (UCL)

 

 

The Greening European Film Policy report is available for download from the Global Green Media Network website: https://www.globalgreenmedianetwork.org/reports

 

 

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.

 

Please contact Pietari Kaapa (P.Kaapa@warwick.ac.uk) or Hunter Vaughan (hunter.vaughan@emerson.edu) with any questions.
