The outdoor community already shares a deep connection to nature—making it a powerful force for climate action. But too often, climate conversations feel inaccessible or weighed down by fear. Where the Climate Things Are takes a different approach: celebrating solutions, uplifting diverse voices, and focusing on the opportunities we already have to make change.

At its core, the philosophy is simple:

• Accessibility — Climate action should feel welcoming, not overwhelming.

• Inclusivity — Everyone who recreates outdoors has a role and a voice.

• Storytelling — Personal experiences and positive solutions can spark the biggest change.

• Action — Small steps matter, and collective action makes them powerful.

By shifting the narrative, Where the Climate Things Are hopes to grow an outdoor climate movement that’s hopeful, grounded in solutions, and fueled by community.
