Through independent multi-media storytelling and community engagement, we educate millions of people on the climate crisis we face and the solutions we all have within reach.
We believe in the power of storytelling to challenge the status quo.
Earthrise was created in 2020 by a group of creative troublemakers who wanted to see a different kind of story on their screens and in their feeds.
Our name comes from the iconic photo taken in 1968 by William Anders during the NASA Apollo 8 mission to the moon. When it was published, ‘Earthrise’ told a story about our planet’s fragility and uniqueness that shifted perspectives and helped catalyse the global environmental movement.
It all started when Alice Aedy, Jack Harries and Finn Harries came together with a vision to tell stories to fire up the environmental movement and inspire the climate curious to embrace their power to create change. Stories that harness both urgency and optimism - in a delicate balance - resisting the pull of climate doom.
As the world has evolved, so have we. The climate is part of a greater set of intersectional problems that need interdisciplinary solutions. Now, we’re expanding our expertise in climate communication to tell stories that transform culture and empower people to take care of their inner world, so they can create change in the outer one.

Disinformation, misinformation, and the climate crises are now the greatest short and long-term threats to humanity, and are obscuring and delaying climate action. With weakened safeguards and algorithmic bias, social media now often undermines human and planetary health.
As the U.S., the largest economy globally, undertakes its most sweeping environmental deregulation to date, the world simultaneously crosses two historic thresholds: breaching 1.5°C warming and surpassing six of nine critical planetary boundaries.
We have lost touch with nature and each other. Over half the world lives in cities, spending 90% of time indoors. Meanwhile, polarisation and loneliness are rising, with 1 in 14 feeling lonely most or all of the time.
We are strongest on social media: our team leverages deep expertise in storytelling and independent media to launch viral educational content and campaigns that cut through noise and counter disinformation at scale.
We respond to deregulation by launching high-impact campaigns that drive cultural momentum and exert public pressure on decision-makers. Our work amplifies frontline movements, and moments, to help create the conditions for policy change.
We address disconnection by listening deeply and building real community. We’ve not only grown a global following: we’ve cultivated a movement of 375K+ engaged community members who feel seen, heard, and empowered through our content and the opportunities for involvement we bring to them.
Reach without resonance doesn’t drive change. What sets our campaigns apart is that they’re built on a Think. Feel. Do. model that sparks understanding, emotional connection, and real-world participation.
"A fact wrapped in a story is 22 times more memorable than a fact"
Impact is our
non-negotiable
And we work with people who feel the same way.
We get our thrills from being in the same room as pioneers and culture-makers who are ready to roll up their sleeves and bring bold new possibilities to life.
