Climable is a woman-led nonprofit in Cambridge, MA, with a mission to make climate science and clean energy understandable and actionable for everyone. Climable’s end goals are energy democracy (public participation in the energy transition) and climate resilience (improved avenues for anticipating, preparing for, and responding to climate disasters).
What We Do
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Empowerment starts with reliable information. We equip individuals and communities with scientifically accurate information through our educational programs that serve a wide audience of learners.
CLEAN ENERGY ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility for all is at the core of our work. We develop clean energy community microgrids in environmental justice communities to strengthen climate resilience and justice.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Meaningful stakeholder engagement is key to equitable progress. We bring together parties involved with the energy system, including end-users and the general public, to discuss energy solutions.
