ABOUT

It’s time to do both everything we can to reduce greenhouse gas outputs AND to prepare for the climate change that is already underway.”

What is Climate Future?

Climate Future is education focused on underemphasized components of the climate change conversation, particularly the economics and everyday impacts.

Our mission is to help recruit new champions for change by connecting the information shared by scientists to the lived experiences of busy people, working class, retired, everyday people who care but don’t have time to invest in a deep understanding of the entire topic.

Here's what Climate Future Addresses:

Education

Climate Future will reshare information from the world’s leading climate science organizations in a straight-forward format about climate change, focused on direct-impacts in the daily lives and finances of our audience.

Solutions

While there are millions of ways we can fight climate change, our focus is on solutions that have extensive studies to back them up and especially ones that can be implemented rapidly, locally and most affordably. We’ll be examining not just the immediate, but also the longer term compound costs associated with each mitigation and adaptation solution.

So why economics?

Because it’s where people live, in their heads and in their lives. This project is not another ‘preaching to the choir’ platform. We’re seeking to help build a bigger movement and to do that, we’re going to talk about this topic in ways that we don’t feel are common enough.

There are other voices covering other angles of the climate change conversation and they’re doing a great job at it. For this project, the focus is on people who aren’t already heavily informed on the topic and who are generally busy, working-class people who care about the world but find the topic to be a bit overwhelming to comprehend.

So we’re taking a different approach. We’re going to give people things they can do and concepts they can grasp. We’re going to let people feel empowered to actually bring about change. And to understand how much this stuff is going to cost and to surprise them with the good news that in many cases, their life will *improve* with climate-friendly changes.

We believe that knowledge is power

CHANGE

It’s one thing to care about climate change.

It’s another thing to know what to advocate for at your place of work, in your local government, or to know how to shop as a climate-conscious person. And it's important to focus on not just individual change, but the big things that we can collectively do to make a difference.

We’re going to help equip you to get involved in bringing about real change.

And the great thing is – many of the solutions to climate change are great for your community’s health, happiness, equity and financial wellbeing too.

Communities are already experiencing the impacts of climate change

The choices we make today will have enormous impacts on the world for many years to come.

We aren’t powerless against inevitable forces. But it’s up to each of us to become educated and to educate others about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, today.
