Our Mantras
Small is Beautiful
We shall always be a small group, never growing beyond 15 people. This is imperative to keep teams connected, contended and efficient. This may mean consciously not pursuing growth in terms of numbers and projects, but in terms of quality of work and impact.
Slow is Serene
We shall always take our time to reflect and constantly iterate on our work, even if this means slowing down some of our outputs. This stems from a belief that our current world is moving too fast, and not pausing to reflect on what we are producing. This is akin to the great masters of the Renaissance, who were slow, but whose work echoes across the valleys of time.
We will endeavour to work with funders who understand our values, and see our strategy as a counterpoint to the prevailing culture of speed and scale. While climate action is needed and indeed at an appreciable pace, we must make sure that we do not confuse speed with haste. This means, pausing every now and then to reflect on our work and check if what we are doing is indeed impactful.
Diversity & Inclusivity
United by Purpose, Enriched by Difference
At Climate Dot, diversity isn’t just official policy but something that has naturally grown from the kind of work we do and the values we hold. Our team is spread across the world, and weaves together people from different regions, lived experiences, and educational backgrounds. This diversity isn’t something we set out to engineer; it emerged naturally from who we are and what we believe in. This helps us see problems from multiple angles, stay curious, & keep learning from one another.
We’re also proud to be a team with strong representation of women in meaningful roles. For us, inclusivity isn’t a goal to chase but a way of working, rooted in respect, openness, and the belief that good ideas come from everywhere. Just as we value slow, thoughtful work, we value the richness that different voices bring to our shared purpose.
