Article Description
Everything we do at Imagine5 is about making an impact. We tell stories with a clear goal in mind: to spark action, change behavior, shift social norms and create a sustainable future.
Below you find our 2023 Impact Report, outlining the impact we’ve had on our journey so far, what we’ve learned and where we’re going next. Enjoy the read!
The big picture
Let’s start by zooming right out.
Imagine5 is on a mission to make sustainable behavior the norm. We do this by telling stories at the intersection of culture and climate that inspire planet-friendly action, steering clear of the doom and gloom of mainstream media and instead, shining a spotlight on the positive.
This mission aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
The good news is: our audience is willing and able to make changes. However, they feel paralyzed by negative news, and they don’t know how best they can make a difference. We fill that gap.
Our Theory of Change revolves around positive climate storytelling for meaningful and lasting impact.

Educate: Speak on the climate crisis’ urgency and the changes that actually matter.
