Introducing the Climate Creators to Watch in 2024
Happy almost-spring, Optimists! We're still on hiatus over here at The Climate Optimist, but our third annual list of social media creators to watch is too good to keep to ourselves. These creators make content that's innovative, optimistic, and likely to inspire climate action—our favorite kind!
Our team at Harvard Chan C-CHANGE and our friends at Pique Action are recognizing 17 creators this year—including artists, activists, ocean lovers, trash pickers, sustainability hackers, and more—who collectively delight over 4 million followers.
"The most powerful tool we have for building a better future is our stories," says 2024 Creator and climate psychologist Jessica Kleczka. "I aim to touch people's hearts, spark outrage and hope in equal measure, and rekindle the fierce love we all have for our beautiful planet and its people."
Skye Flanigan, program director at Harvard Chan C-CHANGE said, “We need creators who are clear about what’s at stake in the climate crisis, but who also help people feel empowered to take action rather than become paralyzed by fear. That’s what these creators are so good at, and why we want to amplify their voices.”
If you're in need of a timeline cleanse (and who isn't, am I right?), take a gander at this year's list and lose yourself in some feel-good climate news.
