Climatico is a non-profit organization that was founded in Oxford but later incorporated in Seattle. Climatico is a non-biased community of researchers and scientists analyzing the latest happenings in the world of climate change and report their findings in an easy way to understand. Their publications cover adaption, emissions targets and other policy developments. Their funds mostly come from individual donors but they also had some large corporations such as Google and the Waterloo foundation help them out as well. Climatico would fit into the “Mitigation and Adaption” wedge because they inform people about climate policies that are mostly about adaption and mitigation. Partnered with other legitimate international nonprofit organizations, Climatico is an authentic community of researchers.
