Company activities and impact

Hot Poets is an ambitious, award-winning, internationally focused project turned CIC, working to powerfully communicate climate change science and action through spoken word poetry. The real stories of ecological innovation and hope we don’t often hear. We do this by creating dynamic arts and science collaborations and partnerships with top climate change organisations and world class artists, engaging directly with stakeholders across sectors, on the ground communities, young people, live and online audiences and the climate scientists themselves, who often feel unheard - at a time in history when their ability to effectively communicate is of paramount importance. Hot Poets is currently working in partnership with leading climate change, academic, government and arts organisations at a global and grassroots level, including the UNFCCC: Resilience Frontiers, University College London, the Southbank Centre, the Gaia Foundation and Dundee University.

Consultation with stakeholders

In 2022/23 Hot Poets won the Community Award at UNESCO’s Earth Futures Festival in Sydney and produced incredible live poetry shows and powerful talks at some of the biggest performance and ideas platforms in the UK, including TEDxLondonWomen, NBC Universal, the Barbican, the University of Oxford, the Southbank Centre, BBCR4 and WOMAD. Their films, talks and poetry were heard and seen by over 500,000 people. For all the project work Hot Poets undertook in this period, Hot Poets worked closely with the partners to present the work and the outcomes - and assets were made available to all relevant parties. Hot Poet Directors attended all feedback sessions and fed into the evaluation process of the UCL 'Performing Planet' commissions and the Southbank facilitation.
