About

The climate crisis is, in part, a communications crisis. To inspire action, the way we communicate about the planet and our relationship with it has got to change.

The Climate Communications Resources Hub carefully curates tools and resources to help everyone communicate the climate emergency more effectively. It is an open, collaborative initiative led by Small World Stories and supported by communicators and likeminded people from around the world who share our passion for climate communications.

Our motivation

We created the Hub because we know communicators need to up our game to inspire more people to take action on climate change in every way possible. In April 2022, for the first time, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change honed in on the role of communications, culture and behavior change as essential levers to shift away from our carbon intensive lives.

What you'll find

The resources in the Hub include academic papers, how-to guides, media articles, webinars, podcasts and books. Each dives into some aspect of climate communications, discusses good and not so good practices and makes practical recommendations to communicators, marketers, PR agencies, activists and anyone else interested in communicating the climate emergency. Films and TV series produced with an intended climate change storyline also feature, as do documentaries that aim to make climate messages and stories accessible, informative and entertaining.

Resources about the history and current state of climate change dis/misinformation abound in the Hub. This is no coincidence. It reflects the damaging reality of greenwashing that climate communicators must keep front and center.

The Hub also lists organizations and initiatives specializing in climate communications research and creative mobilization campaigns, and those on the frontline of the battle to challenge greenwashing wherever it is found. You can also find courses to help you improve how you discuss and talk about climate change.

Get involved

The climate communications space is expanding fast, and every day there are more tools out there created to support our work. Our goal is to make them accessible and share them as widely as possible. If you have any resources that you think should be included in the Hub, share them with us. And please help us to promote the Hub so that more people can use it and contribute.
