In the face of our planet’s escalating climate crisis, We Don’t Have Time, a groundbreaking media platform and social network, is leading the charge to mobilise global action. Founded in 2017 with the mission to speed up change, this organisation has become a beacon of hope, inspiring individuals, businesses, and governments alike to take meaningful steps towards a sustainable future. Their approach, a powerful blend of cutting-edge technology and grassroots activism, has revolutionised climate advocacy and brought together a global community committed to real-world impact.
We are living through a critical time for the planet. Climate change poses an immediate and severe threat to life as we know it. Global temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, and without swift action, we are on course to exceed the critical 1.5°C threshold between 2030 and 2052. This rise in temperature is driving more frequent and severe weather changes, threatening ecosystems, economies, and communities. Almost 4 billion people live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change, with devastating consequences already being felt globally.
In the face of these challenges, We Don’t Have Time has emerged as a leader in climate action, advocating for a fossil-free future while reminding us that we don’t have time to wait.
We Don’t Have Time has grown into the world’s largest social network dedicated to climate action, with over 700,000 members and a social media reach of 25-100 million monthly. Their innovative platform connects individuals who are passionate about solving the climate crisis, creating a space for climate solutions to flourish. Through features like “climate reviews,” users can praise, suggest ideas, or warn recipients about their climate-related actions. The app fosters transparency and accountability, encouraging companies, organisations, and public figures to step up their climate commitments.
We Don’t Have Time’s innovative digital platform aligns with Kora Sustainability’s vision of gamifying sustainable actions. Just like Kora encourages users to reduce their carbon footprint through the Kora Konnekt platform and Kora App, We Don’t Have Time motivates global participation through engagement tools that create a sense of community. Both organisations leverage the power of technology and community action, whether it’s through tracking real-time emission data or holding leaders accountable for their environmental impacts.
We Don’t Have Time’s unique approach to advocacy also mirrors Kora’s emphasis on “celebrating green milestones”—a value embedded in both organisations’ mission to inspire, reward, and accelerate sustainable action.
What sets We Don’t Have Time apart is its ability to translate online engagement into real-world impact. Their global reach and initiatives have spurred action on an unprecedented scale. A notable example is their #MoveTheMoney campaign, launched in collaboration with the UNDP, which has successfully mobilised nearly 1,000 companies, investors, and individuals from 96 countries to redirect $934 million in investments to accelerate the green transition. Their efforts have even led to significant divestments from major fossil fuel companies, such as Saudi Aramco.
Similarly, Kora Konnekt and Kora App provide businesses with real-time emission tracking and actionable insights. These platforms empower users to make data-driven decisions that reduce carbon footprints and support decarbonisation goals—taking sustainability beyond digital spaces and into everyday life.
Both We Don’t Have Time and Kora Sustainability understand the importance of partnerships in tackling the climate crisis. Whether it’s We Don’t Have Time’s collaboration with over 400 global partners, or Kora’s mission to offer a seamless experience through API integrations and partnerships with sustainability platforms, collective action is key. Both platforms amplify the reach of climate solutions, foster engagement, and provide tools that help individuals and organisations play an active role in the global movement towards a sustainable future.
The stories of We Don’t Have Time and Kora Sustainability are united by a shared commitment to a fossil-free future and the belief that “together, we can create a better world.” Both platforms emphasise the importance of inspiring action, whether it’s through We Don’t Have Time’s mission to accelerate change or Kora’s commitment to celebrating every sustainable step along the way.
As we celebrate We Don’t Have Time as this month’s Climate Hero, we also celebrate the role each of us plays in this movement. Both Kora Sustainability and We Don’t Have Time show that innovative solutions and collective efforts can accelerate change. The world doesn’t have time to wait, but with platforms like these leading the way, there’s hope that we can build a better, more sustainable future—together.
