What We Do

The Global Green Media Network (GGMN) provides a platform for collaboration between academic research and industry practice. The GGMN explores how environmentally sound media practices are connected to local cultural values, media industry and economic policy dynamics, and climate change challenges.

The aim is to facilitate dialogue amongst two groups of stakeholders:

1. Industry organisations (production companies, NGOS, consultancies, studios, creatives) and academic experts from a wide variety of backgrounds (media studies, humanities, environmental sciences, business and management studies) to generate better understanding of mutually beneficial means of collaboration to encourage more environmentally responsible and sustainable media production initiatives.

2. Academic collaboration between the humanities, social sciences, economics, environmental sciences as well as teaching and learning pedagogy experts to develop new collaborative methodologies and educational strategies to make media education more environmentally responsible and responsive to contemporary industry realities.

What we do to facilitate these collaborations:

1. Events: we organise virtual and face-to-face workshops linking industry professionals and academics). Our first event in London in 2019 resulted in two days of intense productive dialogue and we will soon be hosting a virtual event (click here for more info)

2. Research outputs: we publish scholarly studies and opinion pieces in a wide variety of outlets (see publications)

About GGMN

The GGMN was formed through the support of by a two-year Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) network grant. It traces a global diversity of practices in environmental screen media production and policy from European and UK stakeholders to major global film production hubs in Latin America, India and East Asia.

The network is a symbiotic support system, at once learning from, synthesizing, and offering assistance to film and television professionals, environmental advocates and policymakers, and emergent scholars and artists in the screen arts.
