Powering Forward: Sustainable Sports & Entertainment

​This year, the Sustainability, Energy, and Entertainment Network (SEEN) at Columbia's Climate School is partnering with the Green Sports Alliance, Hollywood Climate Summit, Music Sustainability Alliance, Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, and Broadway Green Alliance to convene leaders from sports, entertainment, and media for an afternoon of networking and expert panel discussions focused on advancing sustainability. Under the theme Powering Forward, the event will build on recent industry momentum and explore how organizations can accelerate impact through innovation, cross-sector partnerships, and shared leadership.

​Discussions will focus on four key areas:

• ​The Social Impact of Sports and Entertainment (driving climate action through influence and engagement);

• ​Sustainable Live Events (creating greener concerts, festivals, and sporting events);

• ​Community Resilience Through Venues (leveraging venues to create lasting environmental and community impact); and

• ​Sustainable Apparel & Merchandising (advancing circularity and responsible consumer products).

​Stay tuned! Speakers and panels will be announced soon.

​Attendees will represent professionals leading sustainability efforts across sports, music, entertainment, media, merchandising, community impact, colleges and universities, alongside students and emerging professionals.
