We’ve all heard the cries echoing from climate marches: “SYSTEM-CHANGE, NOT CLIMATE CHANGE!”. But what does that actually mean?


This investigative mini-series explores how our society has been built, uncovers the flaws in its foundation, and asks: how might we change things for the better?


Investigative journalism. Talks with world-leading experts. Complex social, historical, and scientific concepts explained simply. At a time when the headlines can seem so alarming and random, The Water We Swim In is here to give you a better understanding of what they really mean.
