Climate opportunities aren’t shaped by expertise alone.
They’re shaped by visibility.

Public speaking in climate spaces isn’t just about speaking; it’s about making ideas land.
We explored core messaging, audience connection, & storytelling to simplify complex ideas.
Thanks to Maryam Pasha for the
insightful session!
Her book ‘How To Speak So Others’ is available

Climate negotiations don’t start in the room.
They start inside the UNFCCC system.
Where documents shape decisions before anyone speaks.
For many Global South negotiators, the barrier isn’t expertise.
It’s access.
📂 Information = power
👉 Access. Positioning. Influence.
