core values - (erica)
Empowerment: We believe that individuals, communities and marginalised groups must be empowered with the necessary climate change knowledge to participate actively in positive climate actions.
Resilience: We are committed to building resilience at the grassroots level, equipping communities and businesses with the tools and knowledge to withstand climate-related shocks and stresses.
Innovation: We foster a culture of invention, embracing new technologies, methodologies, and approaches to tackle climate change issues and adapt to evolving environmental conditions.
Collaboration: We believe in forging strong partnerships with the private sector, governmental bodies, local communities, and other relevant stakeholders to address climate challenges effectively.
Accountability: We uphold high standards of transparency in all our activities, ensuring
that resources are used efficiently and outcomes are measured and reported accurately.
our approach
We use theory-based approaches to identify opportunities to inform, educate and influence positive behaviour actions at the individual, community, and societal levels by leveraging our expertise in research to understand the target audience, their knowledge levels, communication preferences, and barriers to engagement in the development of climate change interventions. We believe in using social behaviour change communication and storytelling in stimulating community-led climate change interventions. We analyse existing climate data, reports, and scientific findings to ensure accuracy and relevance in communication resources. We support this with data analytics tools to monitor trends, track engagement metrics, and evaluate communication strategies’ effectiveness, providing an in-depth and logical appreciation of climate change situations.
