  Attention, creatives! Are you aware of this powerful force to drive climate action?As UN Secretary General António Guterres puts it, why are we still in desperate need of an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell? Truth is, awareness alone won’t save us. While information about climate change has filled some gaps, it hasn’t driven the action the world urgently needs. It isn’t enough to inspire the changes necessary to effectively fight climate change.To break new ground, climate communication needs to inspire action and empower people to make real changes. This requires a new approach that connects to people’s values, identities, and everyday choices, creating a movement for sustainable lifestyles. By engaging with people, not just informing them, we can turn awareness into meaningful, collective action for a sustainablefuture.Read about how popular culture can drive action against climate change in the report Pop Culture: Bursting the Climate Communications Bubble from our partner New Zero World: https://lnkd.in/dQjjwnPm#climatecommunication #climateliteracy #storytelling #narrativechange

  Hello Jodit Tesfai, Project Manager at H&M Foundation.❓ You worked a lot with the Global Change Award Launch Summit and attended the event in Mumbai. Tell us, what was this about?🔷 We gathered changemakers, systems thinkers, suppliers, brands, industry experts, investors and more in Mumbai, India earlier this fall for two days with talks and panels. The mission was to discuss how we can accelerate innovation and what actions we can take today to create the net-zero industry of tomorrow. We also launched a new round of our innovation challenge Global Change Award.❓ What did you find most exciting?🔷 The energy and excitement among the guests at the GCA launch summit stood out. Many began as strangers but quickly came together to explore and discuss solutions for a people and planet positive future. This felt extra meaningful for us at H&M Foundation, as we believe that creating new and unexpected connections is essential for driving change.❓ Was anything challenging when creating this event?🔷 To fit all the great ideas for programme content and speakers into one summit, make it relevant for a diverse audience, and ensure actionable outcomes. It took a lot of brainwork, but in the end, it was incredibly rewarding to see so many people inspired and engaged in discussions on how to decarbonise the textile industry and support the next generation ofchangemakers.

  All creatives out there - listen up!Traditional climate communication is often based on facts and fear, but that’s not what sparks action. The 2024 report “Pop Culture: Bursting the Climate Communications Bubble” by our partner New Zero World, dives into the real game-changer – popular culture. From the power of storytelling to the influence of cultural icons, this report shows how we can inspire hope and drive meaningful climate action through creativity and emotion. Here are some highlights:1. From culture to climate actionDr. Marcus Collins emphasises that culture influences everything from our collective behaviours to habits, and is therefore a powerful force when it comes to shifting attitudes and lifestyles.2. Storytelling is more powerful than factsData alone doesn't inspire change – stories do. Stories connected to people’s experiences, values, and emotions can motivate climate action in ways data can’t.3. Cultural icons can drive changeThe switch from horse-drawn carriages to cars demonstrates how changes in culture influence what people choose to buy. Fashion also affects what people buy by expressing ideas that shape identities. Effective change can come from individuals finding personal meaning in cultural symbols.Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dQjjwnPm#storytelling #narrativechange #climatecommunication #culture

  The Ready-Made Garments industry is a cornerstone of Bangladesh’s economy, employing around 4.1 million people. Women make up 56% of this workforce. However, the figure has seen a decline from the 1990s, when women constituted nearly 90% of the RMG workforce. Despite the industry’s significant role in advancing women’s financial empowerment, progress in creating a decent work environment and diversifying job roles for women has lagged. Most women are still in low-skilled positions with limited career mobility.As automation and digital technology revolutionise the textile industry, an estimated 2.7 million RMG workers in Bangladesh could lose their livelihoods in the next 20 years. This intensifies the competition for jobs, underscoring the critical importance of our multi-partner initiative Oporajita - Collective Impact on Future of Work.Oporajita is a collective impact initiative that unites a diverse group of stakeholders. Our mission is to ensure that women garment workers are equipped with the skills and competencies needed for the future of work. We are committed to fostering an enabling and inclusive environment that supports their choices and career growth.Learn more about Oporajita: https://lnkd.in/dqffqPdqThe Asia Foundation | FSG | WaterAid Bangladesh | CARE Bangladesh | Save the Children in Bangladesh | Circular Apparel Innovation Factory (CAIF) | iDE (International Development Enterprises) | Shimmy Technologies, Inc. | Center for Communication Action Bangladesh | Swisscontact | United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) | LightCastle Partners | ygap | Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka#inclusivesocieties #womentowomen #genderequality
