Ö÷²¥´óÐã

Welcome to Climate Creatives Conference 2024

Climate Creatives returns for its fourth annual conference in association with Ö÷²¥´óÐã Academy Fusion.

Book your place

Climate Creatives is fundamental to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s People Positive commitment to more and better climate storytelling, and supporting creatives to do just that, with well over a thousand participating live or accessing watch-agains last year.

Charlotte Moore, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Chief Content Officer, invites you to Climate Creatives

This year, for the first time, Climate Creatives will be hosted in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and London with bespoke activities and events in each location. Wherever you are though you’ll be able to access our livestream and join the day sponsored by Ö÷²¥´óÐã Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore.

On the main stage, our overarching theme is Nature. Why? Because not only is nature loss a twinned challenge with climate change, it’s also a fantastic source of inspiration for us as creatives, and for audiences, whatever our genre or platform.

Discover fresh ways into the topic that go well beyond natural history; understand why nature is fundamental to our own wellbeing; and get connected with big ideas and practical tips, all from trailblazing creatives, commissioning editors and thought leaders. Check out the full session list on the Main Stage and . We will be sharing more information soon about the unique offer from the different bases as well as how you can get involved.

The Ö÷²¥´óÐã recognises that climate change and biodiversity loss are real, serious and urgent, and has a three-pillar strategy in response: Net Zero, Nature Positive and People Positive. People Positive is focused on delivering our mission to inform, educate and inspire on environmental topics, so do join us this year on Wednesday 2 October and get up to speed with our lunchtime primer in September.

This conference will have BSL interpreters and be fully captioned.
