From education to media, there are many ways to inform and enhance society about climate change and the causes and effects. Sustainable Development Goals [SDG] are 17 achievements society can accomplish to combat those with an approaching deadline of 2030.
A reasonable amount of pressure from climate activists has influenced big corporations to assist in reaching those goals. Sustainability has been a hot topic since 2010, but now sustainability is getting its own show, focused on climate issues and the societal ripple effect.
Céline Semaan, Executive Director and Founder of Slow Factory Foundation, a public service organization working at the intersection of fashion, human rights, and environmental justice, has resolved the education aspect of climate understanding and how we are intertwined.
Mrs. Semaan, the Lebanese-Canadian designer, writer, advocate, and public speaker, has already initiated groups of activists with her Open Edu and Study Hall programs.

In partnership with a friend and frequent collaborator, Sophia Li, the multimedia journalist, activist, public speaker, and writer, Li and Mrs. Semaan are taking over media waves with the All Of The Above show, launching April 15. Premiering on the i-D/Vice digital platform, AOTA will also be available on youtube and the dedicated site, alloftheabove.tv.

AOTA is an engagement tool that novices, as well as climate experts, can explore to assist in rethinking some of the preconceptions of climate change. The conversation gets started with a grounded perspective from a global majority which includes the BIPOC people foremost.
