About us

We create to transform the world and shape a sustainable future.

Climate Creativity is a non-profit company located in Oslo, Norway. Our team work to create awereness and engagement about climate change, sustainability, and storytelling through workshops, talks, and communication.

We have facilitated workshops at the UN Climate Change Conference of Youth in Glasgow, and at universities and schools in Norway, Canada and the US. We also work with universities and other science institutions on communicating climate science in innovative and creative ways.

In order to co-create a sustainable future, we must first train our capacity to imagine desirable futures and recognize our potential to take part in shaping the future we want by speaking up and acting on our values. Climate Creativity‘s work is driven by joy and our desire for justice and community.

We need more we-feeling, a German girl wrote on her Climate Card. A woman from Peru told us that sharing her story through Climate Illustrated helped her feel more part of the planet. That’s the feeling we work to spread. By sharing each other’s ideas and stories, we try to create a feeling of community and togetherness in this effort. Join us in our mission by making a climate card or sharing your climate story!
