RICHARD CURTIS IS A BAFTA-WINNING WRITER, DIRECTOR, HUMANITARIAN AND A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR MAKING MORE FILMS, GAMES AND TELEVISION PROGRAMMES TACKLING SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE. If ever there was a need to change a narrative with global implications then now is the time for sustainability and climate action. Film, games and television can play their part in ensuring this message is driven home to the public not just through documentaries or current affairs programming but through all genres. This was the message from writer-director Richard Curtis in an address given at a Project Everyone panel held at COP26 in November 2021. Curtis is a key voice from the screen industries highlighting the impact of climate change and has long been a supporter of albert, the leading screen industry organisation for environmental sustainability, which is now officially part of BAFTA. 36
