FAQ

A Climate Hub is a local group of volunteers advancing Climate Reality’s mission in their city. Hubs are self-governing, open to both trained Climate Reality Leaders and new activists, and focus on community-driven climate action.

No – anyone passionate about climate action can participate. Only Hub Leads and Co-Leads must be trained Climate Reality Leaders; all other members can join regardless of previous experience. This ensures inclusivity and community growth.

Hubs in the same country are encouraged to collaborate on national campaigns, shared priorities, translations, and events. Regional Organizers help connect Hubs across borders and support coordination where needed.

Hubs receive:

  • A Climate Hub Starter Pack with toolkits, guidance, and resources
  • Regular leadership calls, onboarding, and training (based on Branch capacity)
  • Ongoing support from Regional Organizers
  • Opportunities to collaborate with other Hubs across Europe

Activities vary, but may include:

  • Community engagement and education
  • Local advocacy with city officials
  • Campaigns on clean energy, fossil-free finance, or climate justice
  • Partnerships with local NGOs, youth groups, or community initiatives
  • Leadership building and trainings

Time commitment is flexible. Some members join occasional meetings or events; others take on leadership roles or coordinate projects. For starting a new Hub, we recommend at least two trained Co-Leads and a small founding team to share responsibilities.

To start a Hub, you need:

  • A Hub Leader, Co-Leader (both Climate Reality Leaders), and at least two additional members
  • Completion of the online Hub application
  • Branch review and approval
  • Signing the Hub Agreement
  • Participation in onboarding with your Regional Organizer

Yes, if: a Hub already exists in that city; the application is incomplete or misleading; members did not consent; or there are documented issues concerning misconduct or violation of community values.
