Speaker: Dr Pamela Agbahor

This presentation explores how sustainability weaves through every stage of film and TV production and why this integration is vital. It examines the industry’s responsibility to reduce its environmental footprint, highlights global initiatives that drive accountability, standardisation, and progress and analyses contrasting examples of sustainable and unsustainable productions. The presentation reveals how sustainable practices strengthen creativity, reduce impact, and define excellence in modern film and TV. Dr Pamela Agbahor holds a BA (Hons) in Foreign Languages and Literature with a major in French but has built a 15-year career in IT. She earned an MSc in Computing (Software Engineering) from the Open University, with a dissertation that uncovered major barriers to environmental sustainability data collection in the Film and TV industry through interviews with key stakeholders which led to further research in this very topical area.
