The Greening European Film Policy report is available for download from 
the Global Green Media Network website:

<https://www.globalgreenmedianetwork.org/reports>

This report examines European film, television, and streaming industry 
sustainability policies, management, financing, and production at local, 
state, and EU levels. It explores policy support for institutionalizing 
these practices and offers solutions to fill policy gaps.

Produced in collaboration with Green Eyes (Hungary), Ecomuvi (Italy), 
Film London (UK), Screen Greening (Ireland), and Neptune Environmental 
(UK), the report aims to make green film production an active agent for 
positive transformation in the industry. Addressing funding, production, 
and reportage phases, the report provides three key recommendations.

*1. Minimum Standards:*

Establish standardised sustainability expectations and norms, from 
development-stage planning to on-set baselines, for both 
publicly-financed and commercial productions.

*2. Finance*

Adopt mandatory financial investment schemes for all productions, 
including incoming mobile productions and international co-productions, 
to link financial incentives with verifiable reductions in environmental 
impact.

*3. Auditing*

Introduce third-party auditing and certification focused on exceeding 
minimum standards, directly tied to financial incentivisation.
