An infusion of positive, clean energy messaging from fresh voices is needed.

Latino communities are a key constituency that want climate action, and Latino creatives are uniquely positioned to get people’s attention and share inspiring stories of hope.

What is Climate Cultura?

A program from Generation180 that trains a cadre of Latino creatives as clean energy ambassadors to create fresh content, share local success stories, and inspire action.

Climate Cultura is a paid, one-month program for Latino filmmakers, writers, influencers, comedians, and artists from every walk of life.

The project is led by Generation180’s comedian-in-residence, Esteban Gast, a son of Colombian immigrants, who was raised in Puerto Rico and is both an award-winning stand-up comic and experienced educator.

This year’s training

This year’s training takes place in Phoenix, Arizona in partnership with Climate Power En Acción and Arizona-based organizations.

Climate Cultura: Arizona participants attend a one-weekend, in-person training on Jan 31–Feb 1 where they learn from local leaders, organizers and climate experts. The training also involves a “writers’ room” style workshop where participants generate ideas and collaborate with other artists. The training also involves building relationships with local advocates and partnering both on and off the screen.

Why Latino creatives

Concern about climate change

Studies show U.S. Latinos are concerned about, and willing to act on, climate change at a much higher rate than the general public.

Important voting block

Latinos are a key constituency that can be mobilized to support clean energy policies impacting their day-to-day lives.

The climate movement needs creatives like you

Latino messengers help their community understand the value of clean energy and apply their power to influence decisions that support a healthier future for all.

What we do

Hold in-person trainings

Climate Cultura conducts local in-person trainings in key states about clean energy topics.

Support creatives

Trainings include a “writers’ room” workshop where participants generate ideas and collaborate with other artists. After the training, they create compelling content to share with their digital audience.

Create partnerships

We partner with local organizations, advocates, and activists highlighting the work that is being done locally, offering a sounding board to the creatives, and building long-term, community-led, organizing relationships both on and off the screen.
