Climate⏤but closer to home

Stories about people, places & everyday life in a changing Malaysia and Southeast Asia

Climate Change is a Fact⏤so what?

So we tell stories from here, because people talk about it all the time, only the conversation don't always feel like they're about us. We bring the big climate conversation down to earth. Through stories, ideas and creative work, we explore what climate change looks like in our everyday lives and what it means for the people and places around us. No jargons. No dooms. Just better ways to understand where we are and where we can go.

2025.

FEATURED

Climate in Translation

In plain English because science⏤y can be complicated. So we decided, why not translate it. They tend to asked question that can sometime sounded to academic and before we know it, nobody wants to know more. So instead of just asking, we answered them in ways that most will find it intriguing. So, what is carbon? And what does it have to do with our life? If you think Cyberjaya or anywhere else is getting hotter, nope, it's not just your imagination. Did you know climate have a seat at the table adjusting the food cost?

FEATURED

Climate in Culture

This isn't just about science. It's also about the things we eat, wear, make, celebrate and pass down. Culture tells us a lot about who we are, but what happens when the world around us starts changing? Does climate change the way we cook? The way we build? The way we celebrate? Maybe more than we think. So we look at the culture around us and ask, what happens when climate becomes part of the story too?

FEATURED

People in Climate

Behind every story, there are people. Not just scientists, policymakers or people who seem to know all the answers, but the people who live with these changes every day. The farmer wondering why the seasons don't behave like they used to. The fisherman seeing the sea differently. The family figuring out what to do when the rain doesn't stop. So instead of just talking about climate, why not talk to the people living it?

OUR STORY

The world is changing⏤so what? Come closer, look. Then ask questions. Go beyond the headlines. Get curious. Get uncomfortable. Think people. Visit places. Embrace culture: because the future isn't far, since we're already in it.

People

Places

Culture

Systems

The spaces in-between.

It's where we are today: in-between what we know and what we are still figuring out. Between the world we inherited and the world we’re leaving behind. Between the problems in front of us and the possibilities ahead. We want to explore that space in between through four things that shape how we experience the changing climate: People, Culture, Places and Systems ⏤People are the ones living through change. Culture shapes how we understand and respond to it. Place is where climate change becomes real and personal. Systems are the structures that shape the choices available to us. Through stories, research, culture and creative work, we connect these four perspectives to make climate conversations closer, clearer and more meaningful, especially for those of us living in Southeast Asia. Because the climate conversation shouldn't just be about the planet. It should be about us, too.

There's more.
