IMAGINE TOMORROW.
THEN CHANGE TODAY.
The future is open: Talking Hope drives and supports systems change
around climate, democracy, social justice and public health. We are working
through socially inclusive communications and participatory engagement.
WHY TALKING HOPE
Our world is going through profound change: Climate crisis and biodiversity loss are forcing us to rethink the way we live. Their effects are interconnected and affect us all: Our personal health and the health of our societies, our economic wellbeing and the functioning of democracy – all this is linked to how well we respond to the climate crisis.
Talking Hope is led by the ideal of a fair and sustainable world in which all people can thrive. Bold climate solutions will contribute to more well-being, and a fairer, healthier, and safer society. The climate transition is not just a challenge. It is also an invitation to improve lives and better build our future.
Why we need more socially inclusive climate communication
Climate communication needs a reset. For too long, social concerns and the issue of democratic participation have been sidelined in the climate debate, fueling the rise of populist opposition. It’s time for a socially inclusive approach to climate communication. The Talking Hope Framework calls for a shift towards more active listening.
TALK ABOUT CLIMATE?LISTEN ABOUT CLIMATE!
People from disadvantaged backgrounds continue to be marginalized in the public debate on how to build a sustainable future, yet they are among those most affected by the climate crisis – also in the Global North. We believe that inclusion and fairness are crucial for effective climate action and look forward to presenting our framework for socially inclusive climate communication at the K3 Congress on Climate Communication.
TRANSFORMATION NEEDS WOMEN
Women are more impacted by the harmful effects of climate change, they cause less harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and they have less of a say in political and economic decision-making. Despite this, many women in and around the climate movement inspire hope. A plea for women in climate action.
“Hope is not a pink, gooey-eyed look at the future. It is the recognition that we can change the world – and the courage to act into the unknown.“
Eva-Maria McCormack,
Founder of Talking Hope
THE TRANSFORMATION MANUFACTURY
Talking Hope empowers and accelerates collective action for positive change through socially inclusive communications.
Our vision is a fair and sustainable future in which all people can thrive and live together peacefully. To this end, support collective change aimed at more sustainable living conditions, social justice, health, and the active participation of all groups in society. We drive collective change through participatory strategies, solution-oriented communication, transformative campaigns, and positive visions of the future.
We work with civic society, philanthropic, public and private partners as well as the media to create and foster pathways of positive change.
BUILDING BRIDGES AND CONSENSUS
It takes the world to change the world: To widen the consensus for a sustainable future, more people of all backgrounds must share in the conversation how to realize it. We respect diversity with diversity. Talking Hope is not just a team of experts. We are people with many different stories and many different origins. And that makes us even better.
