Sourced from the most reliable and trusted scientific institutions, our platform empowers individuals, organizations, and policymakers with the knowledge needed to understand and act on climate change. Our mission is to bridge the gap between science and society — making critical climate information intuitive, reliable, and actionable for everyone.
What People Say
Climate Change Tracker has received feedback from people all around the world, recognizing it as an invaluable resource. From scientists to students, policymakers to educators, people from every country have praised our platform for making complex climate data clear, reliable, and accessible. Their feedback highlights the global impact of our work and reinforces the importance of providing trustworthy, easy-to-understand climate insights.
History and Team
Climate Change Tracker was initially created by Alex Borger and Jiddu A. Broersma in 2022 as a private experimental project. It quickly gained popularity and received valuable feedback from climate scientists around the world and the community. In 2023, the team became part of the IGCC Initiative (see next section).
The Climate Change Tracker team brings extensive expertise in designing, building and running data-driven, user-friendly web platforms, tackling complex data science challenges, and effectively communicating scientific and technical insights to a broad audience. Today Climate Change Tracker is operated by the non-profit organization Data for Action Foundation, Netherlands.
Scientific Collaboration
Our team is part of the Indicators of Global Climate Change (IGCC) initiative, an international science community effort established in 2023, is addressing the information by providing annual updates of key climate indicators featured in the most recent IPCC report cycle (the Sixth Assessment or AR6). The effort was self organised by a group of 50 international interdisciplinary experts and scientists from 40 different universities, organizations, and government laboratories. The group includes many authors from the IPCC sixth assessment cycle (AR6) and earlier reports.
Climate Change Tracker is built and curated in alignment with the world’s most trusted scientific sources, ensuring accuracy and credibility.
Funding
Since the launch in 2022 Climate Change Tracker has received limited funding in 2023 from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 820829. While this support has been valuable, our platform has largely been built, and is maintained through effort, dedication and financing by the founders. Your donation would help us to run the platform, cover operational costs, and invest in new features. Consider a Donation!
