Animating System Change is a our animated films and capacity building work stream, supported by the Poldham Puckham Charitable Trust. More and more civil society organisations call for ‘system change not climate change’ yet many do not provide much clarity on what ‘system change’ might really mean. In this work stream we have been collaborating with experts and NGOs to generate a short series of informative creative communication tools, focussing on art driven animated film, to help give meaning to the catch cry “system change not climate change”, inform the public about possible solutions, and build the creative communications capacity of NGOs and researchers who share our charitable mission.
In November 2023 we our latest short animation created with research partners Positive Money UK. The parody game show explodes the received idea “we can’t afford” higher investment on climate action, renewable energy, or investment in essential public services. Also helping to build capacity for environmental and other campaigners that don’t always understand how the money system works, and inform the wider public that a range of possible solutions exist to finance the investments and transformations we need to get on track for zero carbon, and a life of dignity for all. The research we drew upon revealed some ways in which the money system in the UK is currently skewed in favour of fossil fuel giants and big banks instead of people and planet. But the rules can change: watch the entertaining 6 minute film (awarded 5 stars on Films for Action!) to find out how!
