Communicating Sustainability
Rethinking Climate is a youth-led nonprofit that tries to open conversations about complex and overlooked climate issues to make them more personal, accessible, and inclusive through research, interviews, and direct engagement and activities. This is about HOW we talk about sustainability and its narrative.
Promote clarity and encourage (eco)citizenship – responsibility and good relative both to humans and other entities

For effective action, we need
experienced communicators
It was Science Magazine that analyzed how being an effective communicator should not be taken for granted. It takes more than a course, seminars, or workshops to train anyone – yes, even scientists – to become effective communicators. This does not mean their message is wrong – just a note for climate deniers – but it means that not always does their message get through. Why?
complex and global
Speaking about sustainability and climate change is complex. The topic is complex. It presents a lot of data that looks also at a global perspective. Some issues far from us can make us feel detached.
interdisciplinary
Climate change is a topic that impacts many areas of our lives. Also, some which we cannot control, others in which we can.
emotional
News on the TV, articles everywhere, advertisements, information online…it seems the whole world woke up just a few years ago suddenly deciding they cared about sustainability. While this is a positive step, it can make us feel overwhelmed.
What can we do?
ask questions towards intellectual honesty
When the say goes that there aren’t any “stupid” questions, that is true! Maybe incorrect ones, but questions exist to help us learn. If we ask, we are curious.
With a similar philosophy, we carry out focused interviews with experts from various fields related to the climate crisis: politicians, (local, regional, international) scientists, journalists, climate activists, academics, and others.
engage
We organize workshops, events, and collaborate with multiple communication platforms.
Our mission is to make the climate narrative more inclusive.
research
In collaboration with experts from different fields, we carry our research on the climate narrative and facilitating climate action.
