ClimateThrive

We would like to officially welcome ClimateThrive to the world!🌏 After realising that bushfire education was one piece of the puzzle, we have broadened our business to create climate mitigation & adaptation resources too. Take a squiz at our new website! climatethrive.com.au

Storytelling, non-preachy tones & joint-learning exp. contributed to @abcnews' #WarOnWaste having widespread behavioural impact. Congrats to Co-Founder & Science Communicator @RachaelVorwerk for her research published in @CRP_journal & @ConversationEDU tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🔥 Are you #bushfire ready? Take our quiz to prepare! 🔥 Recent bushfires in NSW and VIC remind us of the importance of being prepared. Waiting during a bushfire can be risky. To help, we've created a quick quiz to improve your bushfire readiness. climatethrive.com.au/are-you-bushfi…

In a council of 54,000 people, it’s difficult to create bushfire education resources when you don't know how your community perceives bushfire threat. 🌴So we partnered with @NoosaCouncil & @FiretechConnect to find out... ...and the results are in!👇 climatethrive.com.au/noosa

Podcasts, community radio (like @SBS), WhatsApp, WeChat, & digital screens at ethnic supermarkets - know the channels that suit your audience (it'll be different depending on their culture). 💡Understand where your audiences are say Shereen Ghali, Serena Low and Catalina Neira.
