ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Climate Transition 2100 CIC is a UK-registered, community-based climate solution hub dedicated to developing inclusive, tech-enabled and community-supported responses to local climate challenges. We work in partnership with groups disproportionately affected by climate impacts, including people with disabilities, elderly, ethnic minority communities and households facing energy poverty, to co-design practical tools and approaches that meet real day-to-day needs.
Our work includes community projects, accessible climate-tech development, education and capacity building initiatives, consultancy services and policy-informed research. We connect everyday community experience with evidence-based, workable climate solutions that can be applied locally, nationally and internationally.
Our purpose is clear:
Creating climate solutions that work for everyone.

FOUNDING STORY
FOUNDING STORY
Climate Transition 2100 CIC was founded by a team of committed change-changers with deep experience in developing, scaling and promoting community-centred climate solutions. Inspired by their collective decades of work in humanitarian aid, security, and grassroots climate action, the founders recognized a crucial need: to bridge the gap between high-level policy and the real-day-to-day needs of vulnerable communities. Our story is rooted in a belief that effective climate solutions must be accessible, tech-enabled, and co-designed with the people they serve.
