We are setting up ClimateHubs all over Germany and Europe. These are action-oriented climate action networks that enable you and many others to take action together to make your city climate neutral!

A ClimateHub is a non-profit network for all people who are committed to climate protection and who want to get involved. Every city with a ClimateHub has its own online platform as a digital exchange opportunity and a local networker on site. Together, we bring all the city's stakeholders together to fight the climate crisis. With many events and campaigns, we inspire even more people to get involved in climate protection.
ClimateHubs are not just theory. Since summer 2021, we have been implementing the ClimateHub concept in Erlangen and it has already proven its impact through concrete action-oriented projects. All local actors are now sensitized and use the platform. The concept has proven its worth and has also been implemented in Marburg and Potsdam since 2023.
In the existing ClimateHubs, this is used by all climate activists. Projects from a wide range of areas such as nutrition, energy, education, consumption and mobility are included!
More than 20 new climate projects, such as the initiative "Climate-friendly canteen kitchens" or "Stecker-Solaer" have been implemented. From old hands to those interested in becoming active for the first time, colorful groups have come together here.
Our annual Climate Participation Days are an integral part of the ClimateHub cities. A total of 5 events with ~100 participants each have already taken place. The events have made 15 new climate projects possible.

It was clear from the outset that we would not stop at just one ClimateHub, because it is only through a network of many cities that the ClimateHubs can really develop their impact. Our initial goal is therefore to establish ClimateHubs in 20 cities by 2025.
The more ClimateHubs there are, the more impact each individual hub has! If there is a particularly effective project in one city, it can very quickly be initiated in other cities via the local ClimateHubs.
In many cities, a ClimateHub could make a major contribution to meeting climate targets. Since many cities also see it this way, 14 large German cities with 80,000-250,000 inhabitants have already officially expressed interest in a ClimateHub in their city.
In summer 2022, we successfully completed our crowdfunding campaign to set up the next ClimateHubs and raised over €30,000. Thanks to the fantastic support of many climate activists across Germany, the first ClimateHubs were opened in Potsdam and Marburg.
Now you are probably wondering what we need so much money for and where we will spend it. In short: For the expansion of our team and for the equipment of the ClimateHubs.
Wir können mit dem Geld insgesamt 12 lokale Vernetzer*innen für je ein Jahr in Teilzeit anstellen. Außerdem werden wir unser Kernteam erweitern.

Neben Personal wir auch jeder ClimateHub ein Budget haben um Webematerialien zu drucken oder Veranstaltungen durchzuführen.

To get the word out about us and spread ClimateHubs in a sustainable way for all
In total, over 100 people have been actively involved in Climate Connect. Whether web development, event organization, networking or marketing in all areas, our full-time team is supported by volunteers without whom Climate Connect would not exist! Besides us founders, we could in the meantime also hire our 2 climate networkers from Erlangen and Potsdam.
