Entertainment has the attention of the world. And, it can show us possibilities we have yet to imagine. It offers a vision of what our future world could look like and can have the emotional ingredients necessary to ignite the action. But, how can stories of all kinds ignite action and create change?
We conducted the largest climate media study to-date to answer this question and have developed an on-line platform to further investigate climate media effects as it's created. These components represent the backbone of a new venture, Resilience Entertainment, to support social change to address climate change.
