Switch to a renewable energy provider at home

The phase out of fossil fuels is a key requirement for a sustainable and liveable future. You can accelerate that transition and send the right market signal, buy switching to a renewable energy provider at home. Renewable energy mainly comes from wind, solar, hydro or bioenergy. Some people are concerned about the the impact on nature with renewable energy. However the numbers couldn't be clearer. Renewable energy are better for biodiversity, cause less deaths both for humans and animals, produce cleaner air, and have less GHG emissions with is key towards a net zero, low-carbon world.

ImpactEffort

Switch to a sustainable bank

Choosing a sustainable bank means that your money is doing good and supports the causes you care about while you are asleep. Legacy banks use your money to finance planetary destruction by lending money to evil industries like the fossil fuel, meat and dairy, or weapon industry. Sustainable banks only invest in industries that make the planet and our societies thrive. They invest in renewable energy and other impact industries. Switching your bank is one of the most impactful and easiest climate actions available, that most people don't have on their radar.

ImpactEffort

Vote a climate-first party in the next election

Voting is one of the most effective (climate) actions for people in democracies and it's super simple too. Climate-focused parties will try to renew the economy into a low-carbon, sustainable and just world for everyone! Sometimes it can feel that these parties want to "take something away" from people. The truth is, they follow the scientific consensus and try to find ways to avoid the worst effects of climate change (which will derail the global economy and life as we know it if we don't act). When you look closely, many of the sustainable alternatives needed for a sustainable and just world like electric cars, great public transport everywhere, long-distance high-speed trains, heat pumps or even bike friendly cities will improve the life for everyone. Just and fair also means that these changes are made step by step and with low income households and rural areas in mind. They will most likely get more support. Please use your political voice to bring about a sustainable and just world.

Lesson 2 · Climate Change

What is climate change and why is it important to act now?

This module breaks down the science behind climate change and answers what climate change is, how it works, why it happens, how human activity is connected to it and why we are running out of time. This module focuses on the root causes of climate change and looks at how we know what we know.

Our actions and choices matter

Most people reading this have more leverage than they think — and that is the point.

of emitters cause half of all emissions

If you have a decent income and live in an industrialised country, you are most likely in the global top 10–20% — and so is your footprint.

Most people reading this have the means to push change, and the means are exactly what gives an action its impact.

Changes to how we travel, eat, heat and buy are not a rounding error. They are the largest lever most of us hold.

Frequently asked questions

What is Climesumer?

Climesumer is a climate action platform for individuals. We curate sustainable products and companies, the best climate resources (books, podcasts, communities, jobs and more) and the most effective individual climate actions — so you can act without doing the research yourself.

What can I do about climate change as an individual?

Start with the highest-impact, lowest-effort actions: move your bank and pension out of fossil fuels, switch your home to a renewable energy provider, fly less, and shift your diet towards plants. Our climate actions list ranks every action by impact and effort.

Climate consumer? Isn’t consumption the root of the problem?

Consuming less is the biggest lever, and every part of the site says so. But everyone still eats, heats a home, moves around and buys things, and each of those is a choice with a footprint. Climesumer is for making the unavoidable ones well — and for the actions that are not purchases at all.

How do you choose what gets listed?

Everything is added and reviewed by hand. Products and companies need a credible certification or impact claim; resources need to be genuinely useful. Listings are never sold — sponsored placements are labelled as such.

Is Climesumer free?

Yes. Browsing, filtering, the Climate Guide and the Action Hub are free. Some outbound links are affiliate links, which is how we fund the curation at no extra cost to you.

How do you make money?

Through referral links and partnerships with brands that match our values. Every number — income, costs, subscribers, visitors — is published on our open startup page.

Who is behind Climesumer?

Simon, a product manager living in Berlin, with help from a small community of contributors. It started as a personal list of things that actually help and grew from there.

Can I submit a resource, or partner with Climesumer?

Both. Anyone with an account can submit a product, company or resource for review, and brands whose values match ours can get featured — see the partnerships page.
