COP Climate Summit

How Chimp Media is Rewriting the Script on Sustainable Production

4/22/20251 min read

The Problem: Green Event, Not-So-Green Tech

For years, Chimp Media has been a behind-the-scenes force at COP, supplying:
30+ multi-skilled operators (PTZ cams, vMix, graphics, PowerPoint wrangling).
Critical AV kit (vMix machines, converters, cameras—the glue holding global climate talks together).

But there’s a disconnect: How can a summit fighting for sustainability rely on production gear flown in from overseas, only to gather dust in a warehouse afterward?

Our 2024 Mission: Aligning Production with the SDGs

This year, we’re flipping the script. Here’s how:

1. Local Kit, Lasting Impact

Instead of renting equipment with a carbon-heavy footprint, we’re:
📺 Buying TVs, printers, and tech from local suppliers (cutting air freight).
🎓 Donating it post-event (schools, community centres—no warehouse purgatory).

2. Upskilling Local Talent

We’re integrating local crew into our teams to:
🎥 Train on live production (PTZ ops, vMix, streaming).
💷 Ensure fair pay (no “volunteer” exploitation masked as “opportunity”).

3. Smarter Tech = Lower Waste

Why ship 10-ton broadcast rigs when you can:
🌐 Use vMix for powerpoints, graphics, and multilingual streams (one machine, zero excess).
🎧 Leverage Zoom interpreters (no flights, no temporary sound booths).

The Result? A Blueprint for Greener Events

This isn’t just about COP. If we can make UN climate summits sustainable, imagine what’s possible for:

  • Corporate hybrid events

  • Conference live streams

  • Government assemblies

Want to Cut Waste Without Cutting Corners?

If you’re tired of “sustainable” events that aren’t, let’s chat. Chimp Media can help you:
Source locally, donate afterward.
Train and hire fairly.
Stream brilliantly (without the carbon guilt).
