IMAGINE TOMORROW.
THEN CHANGE TODAY.
The future is open: Talking Hope drives and supports systems change
around climate, democracy, social justice and public health.
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 people of all backgrounds 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.
THE POWER OF “AND YET”:
HOW THE NS-RESISTANCE
CAN INSPIRE US
80 years ago, the resistance fighters of the Kreisau Circle planned what a democratic Germany should look like after the years of Nazi terror. Adam von Trott was a member of the circle and – like most of them – was executed for planning the future. Their example can inspire us amidst today’s polycrisis.
CLIMATE ACTION MEANS
VOTING FOR EUROPE
There is no effective international climate action without the EU. Therefore, we need the EU. The upcoming European elections in June are about nothing less than the survival of the European Green Deal. A vast majority of Europeans supports a speedier sustainability transition. Let’s hope they also turn out to vote.
FROM CLIMATE FEAR TO
CLIMATE START
„Isn’t it all for nothing?” Like so many young people, Talking Hope’s Nils Fleischmann (22), is worried when he thinks about his future under the cloud of climate change. Action is the path to hope, he says.
“Hope is not a pink, gooey-eyed look at the future. It is the recognition that we can – and always have – changed the world.“

THE TRANSFORMATION MANUFACTURY
Talking Hope empowers and accelerates collective action for change. We design transformative strategies, and work on solutions-focused campaigns and communications at the intersections of climate and energy, democracy and social justice, health and development. 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.
