Covering Environment

On 2021, the weight of the climate crisis feels heavier than ever.

It is imperative, we believe, that change-makers in media, academia, civil society, governance etcetera, rally together and empower the people.

So that together we can hold our leaders accountable and ensure that they do in fact, abide by their pledges.

So that we may all, world over, have an opportunity to survive and thrive.
