Sustainability Issue 2026 (original) (raw)
If Hollywood needed a reminder of the dangers of a warming planet, last year’s devastating wildfires in L.A. sent all too clear a message. But that’s just it — Hollywood didn’t need a reminder. The industry has long been a wellspring of climate activism, from committed celebrity environmentalists to the below-the-line teams working to make carbon-neutral productions the new normal. With its fifth annual Sustainability Issue, The Hollywood Reporter celebrates the people defying the federal rollback of climate regulation, building back better after the blaze and telling the stories that will keep inspiring generations to take action.
