The project’s second phase seeks to better understand the climate majority by exploring their backgrounds, motivations, and expectations regarding climate action. Journalists are encouraged to engage with the community through various storytelling formats, aiming to demonstrate the broad spectrum of individuals united in their call for stronger climate policies.
