New Bechdel Test for Climate Change Launched in Hollywood

The Climate Reality Check aims to increase representation of global warming in films and TV, with only three Oscar-nominated movies passing the test.

A new Bechdel test for climate change, called the Climate Reality Check, has been developed to assess the representation of global warming in films and TV shows.
The test requires that a story acknowledges global warming is happening and that at least one character is aware of it.
Only three out of 13 Oscar-nominated movies set in the present or near future passed the test, including 'Barbie', 'Mission: Impossible', and 'Nyad'.
The initiative aims to normalize discussions of climate change in entertainment, potentially influencing public awareness and action.
Good Energy, the nonprofit behind the test, hopes to see 50% of scripted films and TV shows pass the Climate Reality Check by 2027.
