Blue Earth Podcast #22 - Climate Acceptance Studios
In this episode, Tom, co-founder of Climate Acceptance Studios (CAS), explains why the people doing the most important climate and nature work often aren’t seen: their stories aren’t being filmed. CAS is changing that. Freshly joined to Blue Earth Ventures and opening a £550,000 raise, they’re building a scalable model to put video at the heart of climate action, and they’ll be exhibiting at Blue Earth Summit, 15–17 Oct (London).We unpack how CAS blends cinema-quality on-site filming with a 4K smartphone-to-editor virtual studio so organisations can ship weekly, high-impact content without heavy lifts. Tom shares why this works (capture in the moment, expert editing, comms-team control), the evidence base behind effective climate storytelling, and case studies from We Mean Business Coalition, Big Shift Global, and the Green Climate Fund.
