Hong Kong – Prudence Foundation, the community investment arm of Prudential plc in Asia and Africa, and Warner Bros. Discovery in Asia Pacific (WBD) are collaborating on a content series called ‘Decode with Prudence’ to help educate audiences on the planet, human lives and their livelihood.
Through fact-based storytelling, ‘Decode with Prudence’ aims to provide informative, engaging content on current issues that inspire actions for a better and more resilient future. ‘Decode with Prudence’ will kick-off the series by targetting two key topics around the climate crisis – heat and air pollution.
Diana Guzman, chief sustainability officer at Prudential and chair of the Prudence Foundation said, “Prudence Foundation is committed to building climate and health resilience, working with our partners to implement programmes that protect communities from the impacts of climate change. We’re pleased to collaborate with Warner Bros. Discovery and leverage on their ability to reach millions of households in Asia.”
She added, “With Decode, we’re highlighting the importance of the individual and collective human action to address the climate crisis. We want to inspire people to action, using what they learned from the programme to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.”
Meanwhile, Tony Qiu, GM for Greater China & Southeast Asia at Warner Bros. Discovery, commented, “WBD has a long history with environmentally focused storytelling, with stories that educate our audiences and inspire action. We are pleased to partner with the Prudence Foundation on this initiative to help drive increased awareness of key topics affecting our society.”
The content series is available on Warner Bros. Discovery’s Southeast Asia and Taiwan TV channels and social media platforms, including Discovery Channel Southeast Asia, Discovery Channel Taiwan, TLC Southeast Asia, TLC Taiwan, and Discovery Channel Southeast Asia Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
For this content series, global NGO Climate Resilience for All has come on board as a content partner for the topic of heat, to ensure accuracy of information related to the topic.
Kathy Baughman McLeod, CEO at Climate Resilience for All said, “One of the best ways to protect health and livelihoods from the impacts of heat is to build awareness, and campaigns like this are a great example of action communities everywhere can take.”
