SOLD OUT -------------------- Climate Crisis Summit
Event Information
About this Event
The science is clear. We've only got 10 years to transform society to limit climate change to 1.5°C. This will require commitment from all sectors of society, including the advertising industry. If you work in advertising, are concerned about climate change and want to get practical, join us on June 25th.
We’re a group of people working in different media and creative agencies who have come together because we feel the need for urgent action about the climate crisis.
We are aware that as an industry, we have at times been complicit, knowingly or unknowingly, in exacerbating our current climate crisis through promoting unsustainable consumption on behalf of our clients. Yet, the very skills that have been used to shape the values, attitudes and behaviours of consumerism can also be used to help shift society to more sustainable ways of living. What do we need to start, stop and continue doing? What does industry leadership look like in the face of the climate crisis? Our choices now as an industry can help make the difference to the future of life on earth.
Over 60 industry leaders have voiced their support for the summit, including Lucky Generals chief executive Katie Lee, MediaCom UK chief executive Josh Krichefski, Droga5 London chief creative officer David Kolbusz and Portas chief creative officer Mary Portas.
Join us. Can the industry come together and mobilise to stand up for the climate? Let’s tackle the biggest brief we’ve ever been given. Let’s choose which side of history we want to be on.
