The Power of TV: Representing Climate Change Onscreen Presented By: Television Academy Foundation Special Thanks: Los Angeles Times and The Walt Disney Company Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 9:00AM PT A recent USC-Good Energy study on Climate Silence reported that only 0.6% of all scripted film and television released between 2016 and 2020 mention the term “climate change” and only 2.8% of all scripts included any climate-related terms. The massive reach of film and television offers storytellers an incredible opportunity to break the silence.
