Climate at City Scale

In 2025, much of our climate work revolved around the inaugural Bangkok Climate Action Week (BKKCAW), a city-wide initiative we co-organized as a platform for collective climate action. Over one week, more than 77,000 people took part in over 200 events across Bangkok. The program blended art and dialogue with hands-on demonstrations and community-led activities, drawing participation from government, practitioners, creative communities, as well as local organizers. The week resulted in 69 art exhibits, performances and digital storytelling projects as well as 13 new climate initiatives launched by participating organizations.

We led overall strategy, designed the program structure, convened partners across sectors, and produced several of BKKCAW’s flagship events, including:

A pre-week stakeholder engagement event to mobilize partners

A hands-on workshop equipping creators to develop engaging content for BKKCAW

The Opening Ceremony and Car Free Day parade in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and district agencies

The Closing Ceremony, which brought together artists, youth leaders, and the Governor of Bangkok for a public reflection on the week’s commitments.

We also managed communications and press engagement, oversaw on-the-ground logistics across multiple venues, and led impact measurement from framework design through to the final report.

In addition to co-organizing BKKCAW, we partnered with Just Transitions Incubator (JUTI) to host the National Geographic Explorer-led Youth Atlas x Youthtopia team during BKKCAW. The collaboration was part of the From City to Sea initiative, designed to deepen connections between Bangkok residents and coastal communities through food experiences and interactive art.

The centerpiece was Pista ng Kapuluan (Archipelago Festival), featuring 250 photographs printed on cloth and bamboo. Curated from more than 30,000 images, the installation traced ecosystems from mountains to reefs through the lens of Filipino youth from Indigenous and frontline communities. Alongside workshops and shared meals, it showed how climate storytelling can emerge from culture and daily life.
