Time for Better

Thinking about bringing up climate change at the holiday table? It might sound daunting, but trust us: it’s doable—and essential. The holidays are a chance to connect, even when conversations turn to tough topics like climate change. At Time for Better, we’ve seen how thoughtful communication can create breakthroughs. An insightful article by the Environmental Defense Fund offers three practical tips for having respectful and productive conversations: Ask questions, don’t argue: During the Nuclear Matters activation at Hope House, we saw how thoughtful questions facilitated open conversations about clean energy. Start by asking, “Have you noticed how much buzz there is about nuclear energy lately?” to engage without creating conflict. Share positive solutions: At Earth Disco, we showcased Seventh Generation’s work on climate solutions, blending it with inspiring performances from Hila the Earth, DJ Eric Terena, Madame Gandhi, and Pattie Gonia. Sharing hopeful, solution-oriented stories like these shifts conversations toward what’s possible. Focus on shared experiences: Our recent #WomenLeadingonClimate campaign highlighted personal stories that showed how shared experiences can unite and motivate action. Finding common ground builds bridges, whether it’s your love for cooking, hiking, clean air, or supporting local communities.

Now more than ever, we stand united, calling on all leaders to step up. Time for Better was proud to collaborate with Catherine McKenna (former Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Canada, CEO of Climate and Nature Solutions, and Founder of Women Leading on Climate) to strategize a powerful social media campaign that reached millions. Women and girls often face systemic barriers, from limited access to education to unequal work opportunities. Yet, they are 2.5x more likely to engage in climate issues. Women are not just participants; they are champions of change. As COP29 continues, we’re calling on our global community to amplify women's voices and advocate for decisions prioritizing people and the planet. Together, we can create meaningful change. #WomenLeadingonClimate ____________________ At Time for Better, we call on leaders to recognize the importance of coming together to create a bright future for all.

When nuclear reactors are shut down, most remain dormant, but the tide is changing. Constellation Energy is now working to restart one of the reactors at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island—once the site of the U.S.’s most infamous nuclear accident in 1979. With climate change driving demand for low-carbon energy alternatives, nuclear energy is being reconsidered as part of the solution. Nuclear currently provides about 19% of U.S. energy, with the potential to expand if successful models emerge. Based on Microsoft's commitment to purchase its energy, Constellation’s plan to bring this reactor back online by 2028 will test if reactivating older reactors can be done within budget and on schedule. Microsoft’s agreement highlights how significant corporations can lead the way in supporting clean energy initiatives as they work toward decarbonization. As we strive to meet ambitious carbon-reduction goals, exploring a mix of energy sources—including nuclear—may prove essential in the fight against climate change. ____________________ At Time for Better, we know creating a bright future will require ingenuity and new sources of energy to create the future we want.

As the climate clock ticks closer to crisis, COP29 in Baku must serve as a pivotal moment to close the emissions gap and realign global efforts with the 1.5°C goal. The latest UNEP report warns that annual greenhouse gas emissions remain alarmingly high, risking a dangerous temperature rise that could exceed 3°C without immediate, coordinated action. With this "climate crunch time" upon us, achieving the necessary 42% emissions reduction by 2030 requires a united global response. Strategic communication can play a transformative role in mobilizing this response. By effectively communicating climate urgency and outlining actionable pathways, we can rally diverse sectors, engage the public, and empower policymakers to commit to and act on ambitious climate targets.? ____________________ As COP29 draws near, let’s harness the power of communication to bridge the emissions gap and build a future where progress aligns with climate goals.

With COP16 concluded in Cali, Colombia, the message is clear: the global community must ramp up biodiversity funding and embrace Indigenous leadership to safeguard our planet. Despite a goal of $700 billion, only $400 million has been secured, underscoring the need for greater contributions, mainly from Global North nations, to close this critical gap. A bright spot at COP16 was the amplified voice of Indigenous groups, whose ancestral knowledge is now increasingly recognized as essential to shaping resilient strategies for biodiversity. As attention shifts to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, this November, all eyes will be on climate financing and emissions reduction—a chance to continue the inclusive dialogue and build on these commitments. ____________________ At Time for Better, we call on leaders to recognize the importance of diverse groups to make a positive difference in our future.

As we approach 2025, corporate sustainability communications are set to evolve. According to 3BL’s mid-year report, 2024 has been about data-driven storytelling—blending numbers with compelling narratives to capture attention. But what’s next? With COP30 in Brazil putting the Amazon and Indigenous leadership in the spotlight, expect nature-based solutions and biodiversity to lead the conversation. AI-powered personalization will help brands deliver more targeted sustainability messages, while blockchain technology may play a bigger role in ensuring transparency and trust in sustainability claims. 2025 is the year to push boundaries, embrace new tech, and tell stories that make an impact. ____________________ At Time for Better, we specialize in helping brands craft impactful and relevant climate communications.

Recent research shows that while the concept of climate justice might be new to many, its values are not. ??In today’s fast-evolving conversation about climate change, one thing is clear: people care about fairness. While the term "climate justice" might not be widely understood yet—66% of participants in a recent Nature Climate Change global survey hadn’t heard of it—most already support its underlying principles. ??This gap between knowledge and instinct presents a great opportunity for brands. Brands that embrace climate-driven storytelling can help close the understanding gap while aligning themselves with a growing global movement. ??By integrating climate justice principles—fairness, inclusivity, and addressing inequality—into their messaging, brands can resonate deeply with audiences and demonstrate genuine commitment to a sustainable and just future.
