ClimateCurrent began with a question about participation. How do you invite people to act when they still care about the living world but struggle to see where their effort leads? That is the question behind this website.
Frank Cochius is developing the initiative around human agency and shared climate action. This journal gives the thinking a public home.
A reason to return
The early chapters explore the feeling of distance between concern and consequence. Later ones examine environmental claims, the evidence behind methane reduction and what makes an invitation to participate credible. Each subject deserves enough room to be understood.
The journal holds longer stories. The glossary gives unfamiliar terms a plain-language explanation and directs readers to further sources. News gives dated updates. Follow the projects we co-finance and our first site. We’ll publish what the work achieves, with its method and sources.
A gradual reveal
The public sequence moves from the reasons for building ClimateCurrent towards the principles guiding its design. The programme itself is set out on For companies and The first site.
That approach creates an obligation to make every article useful on its own. You should leave a methane article understanding the time horizon. A page about claims should help you ask a better question. Signing up for the newsletter should have a clear and limited meaning.
Signing up for the newsletter means you hear the day joining for yourself opens. Nobody is enrolled in anything.
If the question that started ClimateCurrent feels familiar, you are welcome to follow its development. We would like to hear which part you want examined next.
