BLACK PEARL on the board of the Hollywood Climate Summit 2024

The Hollywood Climate Summit organizes year-round, high energy convenings and creative labs for multi-sector media professionals to level up their climate knowledge, spark collaborations, deepen intersectional values, showcase innovation, and lead a cultural movement of sustained impact and climate action.

The Hollywood Climate Summit is a nonprofit organization with an annual conference that brings together thousands of entertainment and media professionals to take action on climate. The fifth conference, June 24th-28th 2024, will take place at the Television Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Summit gathers filmmakers, artists, executives, activists, and other aligned experts for multiple days of interactive programming that inspires ideas and builds long-term relationships. A global conference, live streaming to more than 52 different countries, the HCS has worked with creatives and talent like Quinta Brunson, Jane Fonda, Daniels, Stephanie Hsu, Rosario Dawson, Lil Dicky, Zoanna Clack, Zainab Johnson, Richa Morjani, AJR, Sigrid, and many more. Some of this years’ sponsors include Netflix, Paramount Global, NBCUniversal, Earthjustice, Bloomberg Philanthropies, CIFF, Gas Leaks, CAA Foundation, and UTA Foundation.

BLACK PEARL Founder Samata Pattinson joins Kimberly Burnick, Director of Sustainable Storytelling & Partnerships for  NBC Universal, Adam Unhoefer, Climate & Sustainability Lead, CAA Foundation, and Brady Piñero Walkinshaw, University of Washington on the Board of Directors.

Hollywood is an origin and launchpad for communication that influences global culture. While “Hollywood” reflects our primary audience of entertainment professionals, our organization reaches a much broader community and connects major media industries. People working in these sectors or who are a part of the creator economy make influential choices everyday: what to cut vs. what to promote, which sound bites are worth repeating, what’s fashionable, who is deemed cool and who gets canceled. This very dynamic creates an opportunity for tangible change to be made.
