With Climate Week NYC attracting government officials, NGOs, scientists, and business leaders from around the world, you might wonder: Why is Hollywood here? What role does the entertainment industry play in tackling climate change?

Working on sustainability solutions has always been about people—about the communities we belong to and the connections we forge. Imagine trying to save the world in isolation, hunched over your laptop, driven by a solitary determination to fix what’s broken. That’s the experience of far too many of us.

Our Solutions House community has a powerful potential – to change the climate story! For decades our climate crisis has been framed as the greatest existential threat of our time, a doomsday narrative that casts a long shadow over our collective psyche.

This year, the theme of Climate Week New York is ‘It’s Time’. Rightly, we’ll spend the week focussed on it being time for immediate and real action. But, is it time for some bigger thinking too?
