About

The BREAK—DOWN was founded on the recognition that the climate and ecological crisis are rooted in the design of our economic model. Launched in 2024, we publish new writing, conversations and stories from around the world that explore the urgent questions we face today, what the future might look like, and how we can reimagine it.

The BREAK—DOWN is a not-for-profit project hosted by Common Wealth.

If you have questions for us, please write to hello@break-down.org and a member of our team will be in touch. If you would like to write for us, please see our pitching guide here and send us your ideas to pitching@break-down.org.
