Earth to COP was the creative response from HTYT Ltd to the brief given to them to produce the Leaders Summit Opening Ceremony for COP26. This film - shown to over 120 World Leaders at the conference - formed the pivotal moment of the ceremony and presents an eyewitness portrait of climate change. Using dramatic mobile phone footage from around the world, this short film shows the extent of damage caused by the change in our climate, contrasted with the beauty of Earth - what is at stake and what our leaders need to protect. It underlines that we have seen some progress, but we need further and faster action.<br />
<br />
The composer of the music for the film, Steven Price is an Academy Award-winning composer. In 2014 his groundbreaking score for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity won him the Academy Award and Critics' Choice Award.<br />
<br />
The Earth to COP film was independently produced by Harder Than You Think and is a partnership with Bloomberg. The film will be widely distributed, including through a principal partnership with Bloomberg, a global partnership with WWF and with TikTok, who share the ambition to help bring Earth to COP to a worldwide audience. It will also be played on digital screens across the UK. <br />
