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).
