Somewhat Greener

Somewhat Greener uses creativity to blend science and lived experiences to tackle urgent global challenges. Founded by Elise and Joy van Breda, we bridge the gap between research and action, making complex scientific insights accessible and actionable. We believe knowledge is most powerful when shared and acted upon. Through science-backed storytelling, research-based advocacy, and interactive workshops, we engage individuals, organisations, and policymakers in critical discussions. Our work connects science and society – transforming research into practical insights that empower people to navigate and address today’s urgent social and ecological challenges. Our work is grounded in systems thinking, justice, and sustainability, spanning: ✔ Science communication & explainers – translating complex topics into engaging, research-based content. ✔ Research & strategic insights – conducting literature reviews, writing reports, and developing campaigns to bridge science and action. ✔ Policy & advocacy – contributing to multilateral environmental negotiations and advocating for systemic solutions at UN climate conferences. ✔ Workshops & facilitation – leading interactive sessions using tools like the Climate Fresk and Planetary Boundaries Fresco to deepen understanding and inspire action. ✔ Shareholder activism & corporate accountability – training activist shareholders to challenge corporations on environmental and human rights practices. Whether you’re a curious learner, policymaker, or organisation looking for innovative ways to communicate science, our work explores interconnectedness and creativity, offering tools and insights designed to inform, inspire, and drive action. We hope to spark meaningful conversations, build awareness, and contribute to a safe, just, and resilient future for all. We’re always looking to collaborate at the intersection of science, policy, and action to drive systemic change. If our work resonates with you, let’s connect!
