Climate solutions explained by climate scientists.

In five minutes.

A Virtual Briefing Room

We asked climate scientists to speak for five minutes about the range of possible solutions, as if they were testifying to Congress, briefing a roomful of philanthropists, or speaking with everyone at their holiday table.


No graphs, no charts, no jargon. Just honest talk from the heart.

FAQs

  • We interview scientists about the entire range of climate solutions. If the scientist approves the resulting video, we post it here.

  • Our founder gave a keynote address on the subject of climate change to the annual meeting of the Family Office Association. The feedback was that philanthropists want to hear more about solutions directly from scientists. ClimateBriefing.org was the result.

  • No. We are supported by philanthropy, not clicks.
