ActNowFilm is an international youth voices film project run by the University of Bath Institute for Policy Research (IPR) and Cambridge Zero, with support from the UK Universities Climate Network (UUCN).

The 2022 film, Intergenerational Conversations on Climate Change, which was drawn from submissions from every continent except Antarctica, features intergenerational conversations in which both young and older people share their lived experiences of climate change, as well as their hopes and fears for the future. It shows the rapid escalation of climate impacts on people and places over the lifetimes of participants, in multiple locations across the world, and that now is the time for urgent action to stop climate change.

The film was showcased in the Blue Zone at COP27 on 9 November 2022.

It was produced in partnership with ForAfrika, the Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC), and Plant-for-the-Planet.
