fakta o klimatu

What fakta o klimatu does

Fakta o klimatu is a Czech non-profit institute (legal entity: Otevřená data o klimatu, z.ú., IČ 095 55 587, registered in Brno) that produces and publishes climate-change information for the Czech public, policymakers, media, and educators. Founded in 2019 and led by founder-director Ondřej Přibyla, the organization runs a 'small team of independent analysts and experts' whose stated mission is to anchor Czech climate discourse in verified scientific data. Its core output is a web-based information platform (faktaoklimatu.cz) that publishes Czech-language infographics, analytical articles, in-depth studies, a glossary, and open datasets covering Czech and EU greenhouse-gas emissions, energy systems, the economy, international agreements, and ecosystems. Notable technical components include proprietary optimization models of the interconnected European electricity system with hourly resolution, used to analyze coal phase-out, renewable build-out, and supply security; an interactive household-decarbonization tool comparing heat pumps, insulation, photovoltaics, and electric vehicles under adjustable energy- and carbon-price scenarios; an interactive 'Atlas dekarbonizace Česka'; and the 'Dekarbonizujeme Česko' web platform with educational course, events, and podcast content. All published materials are released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), enabling free embedding and reuse by third parties.

The organization has no commercial pricing — all materials are free — and generates no enterprise revenue from its named institutional users, which include Česká národní banka, the Ministry of the Environment, PwC, McKinsey, Deloitte, Česká televize, Seznam Zprávy, and Respekt. These organizations are content redistributors and citations rather than paying customers. Funding comes from two streams: voluntary public donations routed through the Darujme.cz donation portal operated by Nadace VIA (with employer-matched giving processed via Benevity), and project-based EU and government grants, most prominently the OP Jan Amos Komenský project (CZ.02.02.05/00/24_038/0016419) co-financed by the EU and the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, running April 2026 to December 2028 in partnership with Institut 2050. Distribution is direct via the website and adjacent properties (Podcast 2050, the online course at dekarbonizujemecesko.cz, Slovak at faktyoklime.sk, English at factsonclimate.org), supplemented by earned media coverage and project-funded events.

The codebase is open-source on GitHub (faktaoklimatu/web-cz). The organization has received three notable awards: the Josef Vavroušek Award for exceptional achievement (2022), the AFO Olomouc Award for science popularization (2022), and the Climate Change Communication Award jointly from the Czech Learned Society and the United Nations (2020). There is no headcount, revenue, or ARR disclosure, no venture-capital or private-equity backing, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity on record.

Direct peers

• Carbon Brief: UK-based climate science communication outlet producing data-driven articles, graphics, and explainers freely available to media and policymakers. Closely comparable to Fakta o klimatu in mission (independent, fact-based climate journalism), open-access distribution model, and use as a reference source by major media and institutions.
• Climate Central: US-headquartered climate science communication and visualization organization producing maps, graphics, and analyses used by journalists and policymakers worldwide. Comparable to Fakta o klimatu in combining rigorous climate science with high-quality visual outputs distributed freely under permissive terms.
• Our World in Data: Open-access data and research publication producing interactive charts and articles on global challenges including energy and climate change. Comparable to Fakta o klimatu in open-data ethos, free public distribution, and use of curated datasets to produce embeddable visualizations for media and educational reuse.
• Ember: Independent energy-data and policy think tank producing open datasets and analyses on the European electricity transition, including coal phase-out and renewables. Comparable to Fakta o klimatu in operating open energy-system datasets and analyses used by media, governments, and consultancies across Europe.

Broad incumbents

• European Environment Agency: EU agency providing official environmental data, indicators, and reports across member states including climate, energy, and emissions. Comparable as an authoritative source of European environmental datasets and visualizations, though operating as a public agency rather than an independent non-profit.
• World Resources Institute (WRI) - ClimateWatch: Global research organization operating ClimateWatch, an open-data platform for greenhouse gas emissions and climate policy indicators. Comparable as a producer of open climate datasets, country-level indicators, and policy analyses consumed by governments, media, and researchers worldwide.

Regional players

• Hnutí DUHA (Friends of the Earth Czech Republic): Czech environmental NGO campaigning on climate, energy, and sustainability topics. Comparable as a domestically focused Czech non-profit working on climate communication and policy engagement, though with more advocacy-driven framing than Fakta o klimatu's data-and-visualization approach.
• Klimatická koalice: Czech coalition of NGOs, municipalities, and civil society organizations engaged on climate policy and communication. Comparable as a Czech non-profit/coalition working to shape climate discourse and policy, though coalition-structured rather than a single editorial organization.

Others

• CzechGlobe (Global Change Research Institute): Czech public research institute focused on climate change, ecosystems, and sustainability science. Comparable as a Czech institution producing climate research and data, though primarily an academic research body rather than a public-communication non-profit.
• IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change): International scientific body producing authoritative assessments of climate science, impacts, and mitigation. Comparable as an authoritative reference source for climate data and policy framing used by Fakta o klimatu and similar communication organizations, though operating at intergovernmental rather than national scale.
