At Labfields, we embrace the power of design and digital storytelling to create solutions for a changing climate. Our mission is to advance the transition to sustainable, inclusive and equitable economies creating a positive impact on society and the environment.
About stories. And our position on stories.
Never has it been more important to transform the way we think, behave and create, in a way that is in harmony with nature.
Narratives have the power to shape the human experience, our perceptions, ideals, values and thoughts.
They can reveal uncomfortable truths or conceal stories of deceit.
They can enlighten us towards a better path or sink us deeper into collective delusions.
They can be expressions of love and hope or amplifiers of fear and despair.
They can manifest dreams and aspirations or preach ruin and defeat.
They can shape worlds where life thrives
Our stories are laboratories for alternative futures; fields of the unexplored.
This is us.
We are Labfields.
The heart of storytelling is not selling, it's building a relationship by exchanging knowledge and wisdom.
We're generating ideas based on our research that are innovative, forward-thinking, fresh, and impactful.
Nuestros reportes miran al macro desde una perspectiva crítica y elaboran en las actitudes y comportamientos que se observan al nivel micro. Esos comportamientos, beneficiosos o no para la sociedad, repercuten en conductas que se normalizan, que forman y definen las convenciones sociales de lo que es aceptable, deseable o premiable. Expanden en los factores que contribuyen o no a la transición planetaria que la humanidad debe hacer en la próxima década si queremos seguir llamando hogar a este planeta. Su valor está en resumir y exponer de una forma clara y sencilla aquellas tendencias globales, regionales que por cada sector de la sociedad, son responsables por transformar y transformarse en pro del bienestar social y ambiental de nuestro planeta.

Our strategic areas
Climate risk intelligence
Climate intelligence isn't just about information – it's a strategic advantage. Our approach combines research products and advisory services aimed at decoding the intricate interplay between climate change risks and business dynamics. With climate intelligence, SMEs gain the foresight to navigate risks and harness growth in an era of environmental transformation.
Tools for change
Education is key to ensuring a more sustainable future. By informing business owners about the impact that they can make through their actions, we can shape the judgement, values and behavior, we can enable them to take the most sustainable steps forward.

Nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions are proven ways of reducing carbon emissions and capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the protection, restoration and management of natural ecosystems. By advocating the adoption of nature-based solutions, we will be able to increase forest cover, protect mangroves, improve biodiversity and mitigate carbon emissions.
