Movies and TV about sustainability can be hopeful, fun, and entertaining. Join Netflix in flipping the script on sustainability storytelling with our variety of solutions-oriented movies and series for whatever mood you’re in. 

Studies show the vast majority of the global population considers climate change very important to them but feel anxious about it — especially younger generations. We know that a majority also want to stay up to date and learn more about sustainability solutions, and research shows talking about climate change with friends and family encourages deeper, more meaningful engagement with the issue. That’s why it’s important for Netflix to have a variety of sustainability storytelling — from series like Down to Earth with Zac Efron, dramas like Sweet Tooth and Okja, to rom-coms like Falling Inn Love. Not all climate change stories need to be doom and gloom — it’s important for us all to flip the script on how we think about sustainability.

Here are a few stories that are already “flipping the script.” To see all 200, check out Netflix.com/SustainabilityStories.
