D7.1 Policy brief 1

StreamSCAPES is pleased to announce the release of its first Policy Brief. This key deliverable marks the completion of a comprehensive mapping phase across Europe. By synthesizing industry practices, policy frameworks, and stakeholder workshops, the brief explores how the Video-on-Demand (VOD) sector can effectively integrate sustainability into its core operations.

Key highlights from the report include:

• Mapping the Landscape: A cross-national review of how EU Member States are embedding sustainability into VOD regulations and funding.
• Identifying "Blind Spots": Pinpointing the gaps where social, economic, and environmental dimensions of the green transition are not yet fully integrated.
• Actionable Recommendations: Evidence-based insights designed to help policymakers and industry leaders foster a "just and scalable" transition.

This document serves as a strategic foundation for future interventions, ensuring that Europe’s Cultural and Creative Industries remain at the forefront of the climate transition.
