About Us
who we are
Food Waste Climateers is part of the Climateers network of people from around the world who are taking action to help scale Food Waste solutions locally.
We are a team of staff and volunteers who leverage their skills and passions to support Businesses and Non Profit organizations scale their impact globally.
We offer consultancy services to help food and agribusinesses reduce food waste.
We also run Action Summit events and follow-up processes to support the implementation of action plans.
Starting with one climate solution in one location: Food Waste in Victoria
Climateers is based in Melbourne Australia with aspirations to contribute significantly to accelerating the implementation of Food Waste reduction solutions in local communities around the world. Our Theory of Change outlines our approach.
Food Waste has been chosen as our first climate solution as it has been identified by Project Drawdown as the primary lever that individuals and communities can pull to help solve the Climate Crisis.
Our primary strategy is running events that bring together the stakeholders working to reduce food waste.
We reduce fragmented efforts by helping stakeholders connect and begin the conversations that lead to collaborations.
Our Action Summits use the wisdom of the crowd to ‘hack’ short-term Action Plans to tackle the issues that hold back progress.
In the process, we work to tackle complexity by simplifying into small actionable local activities.
Our Action Summits are also designed to foster engagement, build a sense of community and empower innovation and action.
