Why ClimateMind?

Sustainability requires more than knowledge—it requires impact. However, change often fails not because of strategies, but because of internal barriers, systemic patterns, or a disconnect between aspirations and everyday life.
 
ClimateMind brings psychological depth to sustainability transformation.
 
We identify blind spots, resolve resistance, and strengthen the implementation power of individuals, teams, and organizations. Scientifically sound. Designed in partnership. Practically effective.

Why people love ClimateMind.

Every year, we welcome more than 450,000 guests to the Klimahaus and experience their curiosity, skepticism, hopes, and concerns about climate change firsthand. To do this, we need a strong team that is familiar with the basics of climate psychology. We also use Climate Mind's expertise in the development of new exhibition and communication concepts. I am grateful that Janna Hoppmann and her team advise and support the Klimahaus Bremerhaven and the German Climate Foundation with valuable and practical ideas.

Climate change is a psychological crisis, according to Bruce Poulson. That's exactly what we notice all the time. All climate protection measures are well known; it's a matter of convincing people to take action. ClimateMind is a great foundation for this.

Janna and Fabian from ClimateMind impressively manage to convey scientific findings from psychology in a way that is understandable and practical. In our Environmental Sustainability Team, we work with them to develop ways to effectively support our colleagues on their journey—so that climate protection is not just one of many issues, but something that everyone actively engages with and takes responsibility for.
