Conferences, Events and Advocacy

CAN Summits

We document and share the day-to-day reality of climate-related work and projects by social entrepreneurs, NGO's, advocates and those most impacted by the Climate Crisis — initially in SA, Uganda and Ireland as examples.

What we do

Media and advocacy with communication at its core

CAN creates and imports media and content that highlights the experiences and stories of Climate Activists and organisations to advocate for positive climate actions. We achieve this through monthly conferences, community events, music summits, webinars, educational programmes in schools and much more.
