Hollywood Climate Summit will honor model, actress, and environmental activist Quannah ChasingHorse, scientist and writer Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Meredith Shea of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Universal Entertainment’s GreenerLight Program at its inaugural leadership ceremony set for June 3 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

The seventh annual Hollywood Climate Summit runs June 3-4 with workshops, networking and cross-sector collaboration across climate and entertainment. The ceremony recognizes individuals and organizations driving environmental progress by “moving beyond conversation about sustainability and climate change to actively shaping how the entertainment industry responds,” the. organization said.

“We want to thank these honorees for the leadership they’re bringing to how we respond to and act on climate change,” said HCS executive director Heather Fipps. “They’re innovating how climate issues connect with and are contextualized for the public, engaging our industry’s specific creative skills to advance the conversation, and building the resources, people power, and infrastructure this work needs to grow.”

Shea is Chief of Membership, Impact, and Industry Officer at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Johnson is a  biologist, climate expert and author of What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures. NBCU’s GreenerLight focuses on sustainability from script to screen across the studio’s creative slate and supports industry sustainability initiatives.

HCS is also inviting submissions for the Hollywood Climate Summit Awards to be presented in partnership with Jackson Wild, the content-focused awards program that honors excellence in nature and climate storytelling. The joint awards ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in November, with submissions open through June 22.
