Citizen engagement and cultural change

Strengthening broad-based democratic support for climate action

Faced with growing efforts by fossil fuel lobbies to stall progress, spread misinformation, and polarise debates on climate change, we need to strengthen democracy and empower citizens in support of ambitious climate action.

We partner with news, digital, and cultural organisations with the expertise to engage, inform and inspire people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Alongside this, we are working to expand the range of channels where climate debates take place, going beyond traditional media spaces to meet people where they are. We also collaborate with organisations using innovative participatory methods to empower people to discuss and help shape a net-zero future, such as climate movement organisers, faith-based organisations, and citizens’ assemblies.
