I recently completed Cohort 8 of the Climatebase Fellowship. It was one of the most thoughtful professional programs I’ve participated in, and a strong reminder of why community matters so much in climate work.

Fire Weather is not an easy book to read. That is exactly why it matters.

Vaillant uses the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire as the narrative spine, but the book is about much more than a single disaster. It is a careful examination of how climate change, industrial systems, and human decision-making are converging to create a new era of fire risk.

Many organizations know they are doing important work, but struggle to explain it in a simple way. Messaging gets layered and overburdened, trying to say everything at once. Websites grow crowded.

Over the past few years, our work has spanned a wide range of incredible marketing and communications challenges.
