Why did we start The Good Chat?
Because someone had to say it differently.
After waves of typhoons, haze, heat, and rising bills, 90% of Southeast Asians already know: Climate change isn’t coming: it’s here, at home.
Yet only 5% join collective action for systemic change…
…Because when you’re juggling rent, work, and family, change feels out of reach.
But climate change is already here, in our kitchens, streets, and scrolls.
When we show up to the conversation, we start designing futures we actually want to live in.
Our commitment from 2025 to 2027
We’ve seen that when people feel seen and supported, they lead powerful change. From 2025 to 2027, we’re growing the movement by training new community voices, sharing tools that people can actually use, and inviting past fellows to return as co-leads. We focus on deep listening and local context, so that climate stories can reach more feeds, more niches, and more hearts.
