The Climate Club

What The Climate Club does

The Climate Club is a nonprofit science communication platform founded in 2022 and headquartered in New York, NY. It produces editorial content across three thematic areas — climate change, sustainability, and environmental health — authored by young scholar contributors and distributed through a Squarespace-hosted website, an email newsletter, and social media channels on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter. The organization also publishes science curriculum material, extending its surface from general-audience editorial into structured educational content for students and educators.

The organization operates with approximately 10 personnel, all of whom serve in unpaid internship roles. Its revenue model relies exclusively on donations accepted via PayPal; there are no paid products, subscriptions, memberships, or services. The combination of volunteer labor and donation-only revenue is characteristic of an early-stage, community-led nonprofit content initiative rather than a commercial enterprise, and no funding rounds, grants, or institutional donors are disclosed.

The Climate Club has established partnerships with several aligned organizations, including the Global Consortium for Climate Change Education and Health (GCCHE), CIPHER, the Climate Clinic podcast, and InspiratEarth. These collaborations extend the platform's reach across climate-education, public-health, and broader environmental-advocacy communities. The underlying technology stack is minimal: a Squarespace website plus standard social media accounts, with no proprietary platform, data infrastructure, or AI components referenced in the input data.
