New look, same pioneering work

What’s new, and why?

• Refocused name! We now have a name that clearly speaks to what we’re about: reaching out to people and people reaching out to us to help find their climate voice. As we’ve evolved we’ve moved away from purely providing information to enabling conversations, and whilst we are part of wider networks we now very much have our own clear purpose. And let’s face it – our acronym did a poor job of expressing what we do (unless you’re familiar with us, those 4 letters either don’t mean much to you or you might think we’re a branch of the Royal Mint).

• Refreshed logo! Our new logo illustrates our values, approach and goals much more effectively: it’s about people, and it’s about hope. The graphic represents a broad, diverse spectrum of society – we’re convinced we need everyone on board, not just environmentalists. We’ve also adopted a warm colour, highlighting that as a society we can make a difference and turn climate change into an opportunity for a better, more just world. We certainly won’t miss hearing “why are there sheep in your logo?” (it was actually pollution from a smokestack in case you’re wondering).

• New website! We invite you to explore our new website, which we hope you’ll find more informative, engaging and user-friendly. We’ve also integrated the content from our ‘Talking Climate’ project (the gateway to research on climate change communication), which used to be a separate website – it makes more sense as we are all about bridging the gap between research and practice. It was also time for our domain name to reflect our international work so we’ve dropped the ‘.uk’. We’re still based in the UK but increasingly work around the world. We’ve spent a lot of time preparing this new website but there are bound to be some technical glitches – please bear with us and do let us know how we can make this site ever more useful to you.

To celebrate this new chapter in our organisation’s history, we’ve proud to present a new 5-minute video about who we are, what we do and why we do it – and which puts some faces to our new name!

As a charity with very little core funding, this entire refresh project was developed on a limited budget and with lots of volunteer input (thank you!) – we hope you’ll agree spending a lot of money isn’t necessary to launch a successful new logo and website.

We’re excited to be sharing these changes with you and would love to hear what you think.
