THE
HOLLYWOOD CLIMATE SALON

In its seventh year, the Climate Salon convenes the world’s largest pools of capital to explore private investment in climate. 
 
In 2022, we hosted the Salon at Stanford, where a Silicon Valley family office presented an idea: if we could get the room to agree on the key barriers institutions face when investing in climate, they’d help fund the removal of those barriers. To facilitate, we brought in IDEO, the renowned design thinking lab.
The session resulted in 28 pages of flip charts filled with ideas.

One insight stood out and surprised everyone: pensions identified culture as one of the top barriers—some pensioners oppose their funds being invested in climate solutions. The question arose: how do we win them over? The answer was clear: more climate-storytelling in film, video, and entertainment. How do we do that? Create more opportunities for these investors to finance all this. 

Fast forward to today: we’re planning our first-ever Hollywood Climate Salon, a project over two years in the making. 

It might seem unusual to hold an institutional gathering in Tinseltown, but this Salon is special. The Hollywood Climate Salon is a day-long, invitation-only gathering crafted for candid exchanges among institutional investors, influential figures in film and media, and leading organizations committed to advancing climate-conscious storytelling.

What's happening in L.A. right now is unbelievable. There's never been a better time to hold these conversations and get these deals done.
