The event, which will take place on 5 October, will include a presentation from the BBC’s R&D consumer media technology team, The Blue Room, with research on the carbon cost of the television and associated technologies - revealing where the potential savings can be found.
Introduced by BBC journalist Babita Sharma and hosted by BBC chief content officer Charlotte Moore, it will also include a session with BBC Studios on the latest sustainable production practices.
Charlotte Moore said: “There’s never been a more important moment for creative people to come together and share ideas about how we can engage with climate change.
“Building on what we’ve learnt so far I hope this event will encourage greater collaboration and conversation, as I believe together we have an opportunity to enrich our content, stay relevant to audiences and play our role in looking after the planet we all call home.”
