Be The Future unleashes the power of families to change our climate story with kids books and games made from waste that burst with humour, hope and playful action, amplified by audio storytelling and gamified digital experiences. We’ll regularly launch collaborative, creative campaigns with audacious stunts - to not only sell educational multimedia to families - but to change the climate story. Plus we’ll collaborate with mission-aligned organisations to provide curriculum-aligned educational multimedia in schools and preschools across Australia and the UK.
Our key challenges are to continuously create products that deliver on our brand promise and to acquire customers at scale to make a meaningful impact and create a financially sustainable business.
Our climate ed tech solution is different. We cultivate intergenerational action by leading with humour, solutions and hope. We foster immersive learning across the real-world and digital. We use an integrated circular model that rethinks product design, manufacture, use and end of life.

Founder: Sally Giblin & Helen Hill
Company mission: To unleash the power of families to change our climate story
Why the team wants to solve this problem:
We’ve broken our planet. As the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report tells us, the time for climate action is “now - or never” if we’re to avoid climate disaster (IPCC, 2022). According to a landmark survey, 60% of young people feel ‘very worried’ or ‘extremely worried’ about climate change (Hickman et al, 2021). This is no way for the children we love to live. What if we could inspire the next generation of children to be part of creating a future where people and nature thrive? What if - as adults - we could leave a lasting legacy, by creating a better future with our children?
