Climate Majority Project

Holidays are a good time to take a step back and reflect on our values. In the daily hustle and bustle, you may have noticed that just about everybody is too busy, spending too much time on things that mean too little. We should prioritise family, meaningful work, community, relaxation and the simple pleasures. Many of us work way too much. Such feelings are common and have been for some time.

“This is one of the most inspiring documents I’ve come across in a long time” says Manda Scott, after reading our latest, trending report. That’s in line with the reactions we’ve had to research that took 18 months of deep inquiry to write. Since its release on March 31, it’s gotten 16k+ organic downloads across 5 continents. And download rates have kept at a steady 1k per week.

by Jack Heale Now, we love to talk about the UK weather, whether it be with friends, family, or complete strangers. It’s small talk, part of our culture — it keeps conversations ticking. But what if we talked about it for real?1 The weather in the UK in 2026 has been nothing short of unpredictable. 37.7°C was recorded at its peak in June. And I wonder: will this focus on the extreme weather lead to more of a focus on weather patterns and what we can do to mitigate the impact in the future?

Come join us on September 4 at Furnace Brook (near Hailsham) for a National Emergency Briefing screening, panel and discussion. This takes place alongside The Raft’s political generation gathering for people 18–35: five days of dialogue, land regeneration, and inquiry into a question we keep circling back to: SPOILER: When Aristotle first spoke of politics, he didn’t regard it as something only humans do … bees, ants and other animals organise their communities to live well together.

It’s clear that while the majority of people world-wide are climate-concerned, the image of the climate activist fits a certain kind of niche. According to More in Common and Climate Outreach audience segmentation, these are Progressive Activists … and, let’s face it, sometimes this group can be pretty annoying. From the beginning, the Climate Majority Project’s mission has been to activate the majority of the climate concerned population including people who are not the usual suspects.

Language is a funny old thing. It can make you laugh, or cry. It can inspire, excite and create curiosity. At the same time, it can make you sad, demotivated and confused.

Wildfires burning houses in London suburbs. Downpours so severe they drown people trapped in their own basements. Record heatwaves paralysing our railways and hospitals. This isn’t a projection, a worse case scenario decades into the future. This is Britain, now … and according to David Shukman, former BBC Science Editor and author of the new book *The Response*, we are not ready for it.

The growth of climate concern is being immobilised in some places because the issue has become polarised. This same friction is likely to get in the way of how we respond to other global crises. Despite the fact that polarised voices are often the loudest in public debate, most citizens prefer compromise and constructive problem-solving. Large majorities welcome a more cooperative public sphere. This section explores the growing public unease with polarisation and emerging efforts to counter it.

A residential gathering at Furnace Brook, September 23-28 2026 Last year we began a difficult inquiry, hosted by The Raft: not into what the ideal future might look like in theory, but into what the best future we could actually navigate toward might feel like in practice. We call this thrutopia — getting through what is coming as it comes as well as possible, without pretending collapse won’t happen, and without pretending a good future needs to be perfect. This year we’re going deeper.
