About Us
Who we are
Climate Signals is a nonprofit, nonpartisan project of Climate Nexus that curates climate change attribution science and provides resources in real time explaining how climate change worsens extreme events.
The Climate Signals team curates cutting-edge climate change attribution science to explain the causes, extent, and immediacy of climate change hazards, with a focus on extreme weather events and other climate change impacts in the United States.
Climate Signals tracks climate change impact stories in the news, monitoring and informing media coverage. Climate Signals provides resources for a range of audiences – including the media, policy makers, teachers, and other advocates – explaining the climate change links to real time impacts.
Climate Signals is supported by Climate Nexus, an organization founded in 2011 to change the conversation on climate change and clean energy from an argument to a constructive search for solutions. Climate Nexus is a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, a 501(c)3 that helps individuals, trusts, foundations, and corporations achieve their philanthropic goals. RPA’s tax disclosures can be found here.
Climate Signals was originally launched in 2010 as an independent project by Hunter Cutting. Climate Signals underwent graphic redesign and content expansion in 2016 under the sponsorship of Climate Nexus. In 2019, Rose Andreatta became project director.
