Knowledge and skills for a thriving future.
Climate change is already reshaping our lives. It’s impacting our health, our communities, our economy, and our future. The good news is, many solutions already exist within technology, policy, finance, and social movements. At the same time, emissions continue to increase year after year.
What’s holding us back isn’t a lack of tools—it’s a lack of shared understanding. Misinformation, apathy, political gridlock, and climate doomerism are slowing us down when we need to be speeding up.
Climate literacy is key to unlocking action. It’s about more than scientific knowledge, it’s about giving everyone the tools to make sense of climate change, talk about it with others, and take action in ways that make sense for them.
This site brings together essential, accessible resources to help build climate literacy in schools, workplaces, media, communities, and beyond. Grounded in cutting-edge science and traditional knowledge, these tools can help shift the conversation, and the future.
