The problem: the climate crisis is a leadership crisis.

Stepping back to consider root causes, it’s clear that there’s a leadership crisis at the heart of the climate crisis.

Too many people in positions of power focus on short-term profit, prestige, and sustaining the status quo — at the expense of a livable planet. 

Many of those awake to the climate crisis stand on the sidelines. In the US, a majority of Americans say they are worried, but only 8% are active in some way. More are willing but unsure how best to engage.

At the same time, conventional climate leadership has centered too narrow a set of voices, ideas, and contributions. The drain of the work also takes its toll, and burnout is a real challenge.

Climate transformation hinges on a range of solutions — from clean energy to effective policy to broad mobilization. All of it hinges on people. But what it takes to grow and sustain leaderful participation has too often been an afterthought.

What we do & who we are:

Everything we do is designed around growing the above eight dynamics. We use three core tools: 

• Narrative change — fostering public narrative shift around climate truth, courage, and solutions through creative communication

• Community building — equipping people to build climate community and move towards action together

• Deep learning — offering educational programs and resources to deepen understanding and nurture participation

And in all of this, we work to tend the emotional-spiritual root from which climate leadership grows.

Our team is a group of strategists, creatives, teachers, and community-builders living in Atlanta and New York.
