The Future of Green: Hitchhiker’s Guide to Sustainable Programs on Climate Change

9:00 am – 10:30 am Wednesday, Dec. 3

Does green programming rate, or has it failed? Will it leave our schedules or gain a place in commissioner’s global programming remit? Our team of panelists will be shown nine clips of so-called green programs generated all over the world. In our now traditional quiz format, we will play the ratings game and discuss why green does not rate - or does it?
