The worldwide largest film festival attracts more than 35,000 visitors who are traveling to the Cote d\u2018Azur. That means that many festival attendees are traveling by airplane to the festival. The Cannes Film Festival calculates its carbon footprint since 2019. The festival released its carbon footprint for the year 2023, which came down to 48,300 tonnes of CO2. According to the official numbers, 91 percent of the carbon emissions were caused by the travels of the festival participants to Cannes, which has an indirect impact (Scope 3). Meanwhile the direct impact of the Cannes Film Festival was measured with 4,300 tonnes of CO2 due to the organization, human resources as well as communication.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6631\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Carpet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"197\" \/>The Cannes Film Festival is taking various efforts to reduce its environmental impact. While the Red Carpet in front of the Palais du Festival was replaced three times a day in the past and the PVC material has\u00a0 been found in the landfill by the environmental organization<a href=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/2013\/07\/29\/cannes-film-festival-red-carpet-leads-to-a-lot-of-litter\/\"> Greenpride<\/a> in 2013, nowadays the carpet is replaced only once a day, which saves 1,400 kg of material. By reducing the volume of carpets in all of the spaces of the Festival and the March\u00e9, the volume has been reduced by twelve percent since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6647 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste-300x139.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste-1024x474.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste-630x291.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/waste.jpg 1094w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>In terms of catering, the Cannes film festival cut the single-use plastic bottles, provides water fountains and introduced reusable cups. In the Palais du Festival, the cups are collected in bins, which are located next to the traditional waste management bins for paper, bottles and cans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the festival started a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/en\/the-festival\/a-festival-with-a-conscience\/environmental-projects\/\">voluntary carbon contribution program<\/a>. All accredited festival goers have to come up with an eco-contribution of 24 \u20ac , as the emissions from their journeys to Cannes and their accommodations account for over 90% of the event\u2019s carbon footprint. Thanks to this fee, the festival collected more than \u20ac2,200,000 since 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Among the projects that received support from the festival is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondation-1ocean.com\/en\/\">1 OCEAN Foundation<\/a> that launched a scientific exploration program on Mediterranean red gorgonians. Led by the photographer and explorer Alexis Rosenfeld, the scientific explorations are showcased in photographic productions, documentary films, interviews, exhibitions, as well as a detailed communication programs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6624 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/seegras-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/seegras-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/seegras-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/seegras-630x407.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/seegras.jpg 959w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/>Restoring seagrass meadows in specific areas goes some way to mitigating their decline and is an A very effective solution that could lead to reviving lost carbon stores and sinks is the restoring of seagrass meadows. The Cannes Endowment Fund teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/naturdive.com\/en\">NaturDive<\/a> and Blue Leaf Conservation for the Prime project, which aims to restore depleted Posidonia oceanica in the Bay of Cannes. Each Posidonia oceanica restoration campaign requires a site-specific experimental study.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspas-nature.org\/\">Aspas<\/a> project (Association pour la Protection des Animaux) aims to protect the biodiversity in the Vercors Massif by using innovative methods and mechanisms. While sixth mass extinction is underway, it has become urgent to preserve areas where nature can freely evolve and where flora and fauna find shelter from human destruction and exploitation.The project aims to increase the number of sites in free evolution through the creation of a network of habitats for the regeneration of living beings. It will serve as a gateway to the Southern Alps, relying on the existing Wildlife Reserves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: \u00a9 Mathilde Petit\/FDC, GFS, Saviour Bonnici,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicked off at the Croisette.
