What Klíma ťa potrebuje does

Klíma ťa potrebuje (legal name: Občianske združenie Klíma ťa potrebuje) is a Slovak civic association founded in 2020 and headquartered in Marianka, Slovakia, that advocates for an enforceable national climate law and carbon neutrality in Slovakia by 2050. Its primary 'customer' is the Slovak general public, which it mobilizes through petitions, climate cafes and picnics, community meetings, and policy advocacy. The organization has collected over 130,000 signatures across two petitions and operates as a coalition partner with Klimatická koalícia, Via Iuris, Priatelia Zeme–CEPA, and roughly 50 other local organizations.

The organization does not sell commercial products or services; its revenue is generated entirely from individual donations processed via the darujme.sk platform and from institutional grants, including a 2024 grant from the Open Society Foundation Bratislava through the 'Stronger Roots for Civil Society' program. Its go-to-market is community-led grassroots organizing: it recruits volunteers and supporters through social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), a blog, and an email newsletter, then activates them in regional climate communities, public events, and petition campaigns targeting policymakers. Its core 'products' are non-transactional civic programs — regional Klimatické komunity (Climate Communities) in five Slovak cities, Klimatické kaviarne (Climate Cafés), Klima Talk discussion series, the Not Your Climate School training program, and ongoing Kampane (Campaigns) anchored by digital petitions.

Underlying operations run on standard third-party infrastructure — mojapeticia.sk for petitions, darujme.sk for fundraising, Sendinblue for email/CRM, and Google Analytics for traffic — with no proprietary technology platform. The organization employs approximately 10 paid staff (described as a 'young, small team') supplemented by 60+ active volunteers and a ~100-person community, and it reports being GDPR compliant via its published privacy policy. The entity is privately held as a civic association with no parent company, no disclosed ownership capital structure, and no commercial revenue streams.
