Our Mission Our mission is to provide accessible climate education for everyone, focusing on climate language, by building a new online lexicon of climate words, terms and ideas, including associated texts, resources and images. Why We Exist We are living in the most definitive decade in human history. It is the first time we have been able to foresee a mass extinction, and it is the last chance we have to do anything about it. We believe knowledge is power and taking informed action is contagious. We also believe we have the resources and ideas we need to meet global climate targets. “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” –Malcolm X What We Do New language is emerging –and reemerging– with the growing challenges of the climate crisis. While new words, terms and ideas crystalise the solutions ahead, they can remain stuck in their respective niches. Our job is to document their evolving meaning in an informative, accessible and digestible format. We invite frontline authors, scientists, indigenous leaders, policy-makers and environmental justice advocates to choose a word that is most important to their work and define it in their own voice. While textbook definitions describe an idea, they are missing an element of storytelling. Why is this word important? And why do you care about it? Our collection of definitions invites you to a more human level of communication. Each word definition is accompanied by a supporting essay, outlining the leading research behind it, and a bibliography of resources for deeper learning.
