“People don't see climate as part of culture - they struggle with the intersectionality of climate with daily life and in shaping behaviour. At cXc, we’re driving a Climate Culture Journalism movement.”

For us ‘reCulture of Climate’ stands for the rebuilding of cultural values to support climate and nature, which can also then reset the conditions under which we live and work.”
