Description:
Green Production practices are being embraced by media making at all levels – from students to the industry. As artists and independent filmmakers have committed to sustainable production practices, they have provided viable models for environmentally conscious approaches and increasingly the media industry is stepping up. Emerson is in a unique position to train the next generation of media makers towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This panel explores a broad philosophy of practice that embraces sustainability in production, creative form, and content – all harnessing storytelling and artistic expression as compelling spaces to envision solutions to the climate crisis and making work that is a call for collective action.

Sustainable Development Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The United Nations describes the work of this goal as "ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, which is key to sustain the livelihoods of current and future generations. Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are root causes of the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. These crises, and related environmental degradation, threaten human well-being and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments and all citizens should work together to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and pollution, and shape a new circular economy."
