"Get inspired to act against climate change."
What is Climate Heroes?
Climate Heroes is a multimedia storytelling platform: we produce documentaries about the women and men around the world who fight tirelessly to protect our environment and mitigate climate change.
Citizens, scientists, journalists, activists or entrepreneurs, the Climate Heroes work to protect the environment, elevate our knowledge about it and ultimately help reduce issues linked to climate change.
By sharing their passion, stories and actions that bring actual solutions, we hope that we can provoke thought and foster change, thus inspiring others to join the movement and act for the planet.
Who are the Climate Heroes?
They come from all walks of life. From a local village activist to a globe-trotting scientist. A respected religious figure to a youth educator. All are different, but fight to preserve and improve the world around us.
They demonstrate positive impacts. The scale and relevance of these impacts in a local context is important, and so is their ability to inspire others.
The impact they achieve must be sustainable over time and have produced noticeable positive effects on their communities and surroundings.
They understand how climate change affects the environment around them as much as how they or their organisation may influence their environment.
"We deserve a safe future. And we demand a safe future. Is that really too much to ask?"
- Greta Thunberg at the Global Climate Strike, New York

About the team
Climate Heroes was founded in Paris, France, by photographer, videographer and producer Max Riché with the core-team consisting of two Asia-based photographers and videographers Luke Duggleby and Nicolas Axelrod. And our videos are edited by Lester Olayer, a Bangkok based video editor.
Whilst the majority of Climate Heroes work is produced by the core team, we regularly team up with other contributors across the globe to produce new stories.
This network of affiliate storytellers include multi-media experts, editors, designers and journalists, and allows us to work in a huge variety of locations, on all continents.
