The OneClimate team focuses on supporting the climate movement, as an essential component of the work of the OneWorld Group.

Climate change is already hitting hardest the world's poorest people, though they have done least to cause it. It is a heartbreaking, unjust and terrifying situation.

Occasionally, though, the OneClimate team moves beyond anguish to hope. For climate change could - could! - also act as the wake-up call the world needs to shock us into working together to bring about a fairer and greener world.

But that could only happen if we were to curb our daily acts of denial and become willing to make voluntary changes in how we live - and especially in how we consume and pollute.

Has humankind ever made voluntary changes on such a large scale before? Is achieving this our next evolutionary leap? What could help us make such an unprecedented move? 

At OneClimate we think that having access to a community - where everyone can honestly share their experiences of the ways in which they are trying (and sometimes failing) to make these voluntary changes - can make a key difference. And such climate communities are now linking up and growing into a meta-community: a climate movement, diverse and worldwide.

So we see our role differently now. Since the mid-1990s, the OneWorld team based in the UK have tried to communicate the urgency and scale of the climate crisis. But people know that now (whether or not they want to hide from the unpalatable truth).

So we are focusing our role more sharply now on pioneering media tools to support the climate movement.  And that's what OneClimate is. We are innovating new tools and platforms that make it easier for us all to share information, actions and experiences with one another, to help us hang in there and keep moving forward.

There's:

  • OneClimate.net, for the latest actions, videos, and climate news.
  • OneClimate Channel, which provides live coverage of major climate conferences as well as the best lectures and events around the world.

  • Climate Briefs, for an insight into the impacts of climate change in the world's poorest countries, and the measures they are taking to try and adapt.

  • Mosaic: Earth, for increasing empathy by allowing people to picture their place in the global climate movement.

  • ecoCasting, for sharing the content of your meetings or major conferences.

  • Tiki, the Enviro-Penguin, for kids to learn about climate change and how they can save their planet!


In these ways OneClimate will connect you not only to great information but to kindred spirits.


About our organisation

OneClimate is an initiative of OneWorld UK Ltd.

OneWorld UK was  incorporated on 1 April 2005 as a not-for-profit organisation ('a company limited by guarantee', in UK legal parlance).

In 2010, the OneWorld Group was formed, when OneWorld US merged operationally with OneWorld UK. OneClimate is an essential component of the work of the OneWorld Group.

The OneWorld Group's mission is to pioneer internet and mobile phone applications which the world's poorest people can use to improve their life chances, and which help people in richer countries to understand global problems - and do something about them.


What next for OneClimate?

There is a lot more in the pipeline to make OneClimate even more useful. 

For example, we're exploring how we can make best use of mobile phones. Since 2001 we have pioneered mobile phone systems that have improved healthcare, agriculture and education for tens of thousands of people in the global south - but we're still working out exactly what system we should develop to tackle climate change. Do let us know what you think: sharing your ideas can be really helpful to us.

And another way you can help, of course, is through donations, sponsorship and pro bono energy. We couldn't have built OneClimate without the extraordinary generosity of the many people who have believed in and supported this work. If you want to help us too, here's how.


Thank you!

We would like to thank warmly the numerous individuals who gave us donations or huge amounts of pro bono energy - including Hariyanti Vittachi; the Lady Armstrong; Flavia Geronazzo Alman and Sabine Gisela Reiff; Lalia and Hamilton Helmer; Olly Willans, Tom Dyson and David Harris of Torchbox Design; Carol Satyamurti; Chris Robertson; Michael Yates; Judy Ugonna; Nick Durrant; Rosemary O'Mahoney; Graham Freer; Rik Able; TechSoup's Susan Tenby; Sushmita Murthy; Catriona Power, Katy Duke; Nick Hart-Williams of Be the Change; Matt Strong; Joanne Fishburn, Sara Jones, Gabriel Casanova and Zeina Aboul-Hosn.

Our thanks go also to the organisations that have donated funds and in-kind support: Guerrand-Hermes Foundation for Peace, Cisco Systems, Chinnor Friends of the Earth, and two trusts who wish to remain anonymous.

And we'd also like to thank those organisations with whom we have enjoyed working closely on grant-funded projects, including GCCA (Global Campaign for Climate Action), SCCC (Stop Climate Chaos Coalition), CDKN (Climate Development Knowledge Network), the Welsh Assembly Government, and the founders and friends of the School for Movement Medicine.

We could not have done it without you all.
