GOVERNORS ISLAND

The audio-visual installation, titled “DearTomorrow: A Promise to the Future,” presented fifty curated climate letters written by people from around the world to people they love living in the future. 

The letters testify to the broad range of personal responses to climate change, but coalesce around six themes: current and future impacts of climate change, feelings of regret, the value of nature, the power of legacy, love, and action.

Three years ago Jill was just getting ready to launch the first, very intimate DearTomorrow installation on Governors Island as a fellow with Humanimpactsinstitute.org  Working with @taradeporte and @lemonnnnnomel.

The False Choice Between Behavior Change and System Change

✨Your story matters. And we would love to hear it. 

Whether you are struggling with the decision on the Willow project or are campaigning on a conservation issue in your home town.

Sharing stories increases our connection - to each other and the world around us. 

And it’s incredibly simple to share your climate story with us 

There are three ways to send us your story ⤵️

💌 Write a letter to the future, for someone important in your life to receive in 2050. Tell them your story - what the climate crisis feels like for you. Your hopes, your fears and your promise to take bold climate action today.

🎞 Record a video message of your climate story for a loved one to watch in 2050.

📸 Write your promise of a new climate action you will take this year to help create the world you want your loved ones to live in on a placard and take a selfie.

Whether you choose a letter, film or photo, the next step is simple: upload it on deartomorrow.org under messages. 

We will share your climate message now and preserve it for the future.

Women are so far from being equally represented at climate decision-making tables. 

Yet the balance tips the other way within the grassroots climate movement,  where so many women are the change makers. 

When women make up 51% of the global population and 80% of those displaced by climate. These leadership stats don’t add up. 

Research shows stronger climate action is taken when women are leading, from ratifying environmental treaties to leading NGOs.

It’s time to change the story…

The equity of women in climate leadership matters. It’s time to get those folding chairs out.
