About Climate One

Climate One is the premier platform to deepen our understanding of the most critical issue of our time: the climate emergency. Through a weekly podcast, national radio show, and live convenings for thought leaders and concerned members of the public, Climate One creates opportunities for dialogue and inspires a more complete understanding of the current crisis.

Founded in 2007 as a live program based at The Commonwealth Club of California, a non-profit and non-partisan public forum, Climate One has evolved into a multi-platform thought leader reaching more than 150,000 listeners every week. In response to the pandemic, Climate One pivoted entirely to digital programming, initiating new creative approaches, extending national and international coverage, and growing online audiences. To maximize the unique opportunities inherent in this remarkable time, Climate One expanded its editorial staff and is now poised to enhance the management, marketing and fundraising team to continue building the platform’s impact.
