General

Climate Central is an independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report the facts about our changing climate and how it affects people’s lives. They are a policy-neutral 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Climate Central uses science, big data, and technology to generate thousands of local storylines and compelling visuals that make climate change personal and show what can be done about it. They address climate science, sea level rise, extreme weather, energy, and related topics. They collaborate widely with TV meteorologists, journalists, and other respected voices to reach audiences across diverse geographies and beliefs.

Climate Central is the climate communications group that produces and disseminates localized and visual content weekly and at national scale; co-houses scientists, journalists, and technologists; and conducts and catalyzes original, peer-reviewed scientific research to fill critical communication gaps.

They have built strong relationships with thousands of trusted, mostly local messengers who deliver their content. Local relevance and credibility make their communications effective; the broad scale of their efforts help advance national and global conversations.
