The problem
The emissions gap
The climate crisis is the biggest challenge of our lifetime, affecting all 8 billion people around the globe. And yet, the governments of the world have not pledged enough action to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees, leaving an “emissions gap” that puts us on a pathway to dangerous levels of global warming.
Opportunity
What we can do together
Here’s the thing: 72% of CO2 emissions are addressable by consumer behavior. That doesn’t mean we are to blame for this. But it does mean that we have power! Individual action has a truly gigantic potential in the fight against global warming. Klima’s mission is to unleash that potential and empower millions to act as a united force for the planet.
Our story
With experience in both the NGO and startup worlds, and after collaborating on a variety of projects already, we founded Klima to answer a question that kept plaguing each of us, since our respective climate “wake-up” moments: “I am just one person – what can I even do?”
After a year of research, learning and drafting, Klima is our offer for everyone that, like us, wants to do their part.

- 2013 ✨Markus, Jonas, & Andreas met while working on different sustainability projects. They fell in love with developing consumer software as a way to get inventive ideas into the world and created a bunch of apps over the years.
- 2019 💚After many idea iterations, and with the help of an old friend, Klima was founded in a 9 square meter office in Berlin where we got to work on our first prototype.
- 2020 - today 🌳One beta phase later, Klima was launched in selected countries in December 2020. By now, the team has grown to about 30 people from 5 continents with 50% female leadership. The app is available worldwide and gets a little bit better every day.
