  • Will you publish my personal opinion about global warming?
    Yes, we would be honoured, so you can send your video message about climate change to our email address. We do prefer to give it our own 'fingerprint' by adding a CDTP banner and by limiting the length to about one minute. We expect your video message to be serious and civilized, so please do not use rude language.

    Get in touch!
  • What kind of subjects are suitable for the journalistic formula?
    We would like fo focus on three climate change issues:

    1) The causes and consequences of climate change (observation).
    2) The way we seek to lower the risks posed by climatic change (adaptation).
    3) Actions to limit the magnitude or rate of global warming - such as CO2 reduction (mitigation).

    The topics must have a journalistic relevance.
  • Are promotional videos welcome too?
    Any serious video story about a significant climate change related subject is welcome, as long as it focuses on the content of the solution and not specific on the PR.

    All videos must fit in the CDTP format, which means: presented by our junior reporter.
  • Who is going to pay for the production? Can I sponsor this?
    We hope to get support from stakeholders and sponsors who like our initiative and recognize the importance and urgency of the matter. You can adopt one or more future videos to be recorded at any place in the world. Output videos will clearly show the credits. Please ask for rates and conditions.

  • Can I be your correspondent and suggest an item?
    Of course. Cool Down the Planet invites you to be our regional correspondent!

    We aim to find motivated people, students or professionals, who can help us find subjects that are suitable for future video reports. The topics must have journalistic relevance. The next step is to get stakeholders to adopt the suggested video items.

    Interested in joining our global team? Get in touch!
  • Can I offer my services as a reporter (cameraman or camerawoman)?
    We intend to work with freelancers everywhere in the world. Cameramen and women are not only asked to shoot some video footage concerning the topic, but also to record a short 'stand-upper' on location. So you will be introduced as a reporter as well :-). We will prepare the project together.

    Our videos are quite basic and transparant. Some features:
    - One reporter starting with a short stand-upper.
    - One or two interviewees.
    - At least a dozen of cover shots
    - Output videos can be 3-4 minutes long.

    We will edit the footage. You can send a first selection by wetransfer.com or filemail.com.
    Any (semi-) professional video-maker can ask for more information. We invite you to send your portfolio, and join the team of 'cool' makers. Get in touch!
  • Who owns Cool Down The Planet? What's your motivation?

  • How can we partner with Cool Down The Planet?
