Hamburger Klimaschutzstiftung für Bildung und Nachhaltigkeit

The Hamburg Climate Protection Foundation is a legally recognized civil law foundation established in spring 2008 by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. It promotes environmental, nature, and climate protection as well as art and culture in the spirit of sustainable development, with a focus on education for sustainable development (ESD), particularly climate protection. The foundation operates the Gut Karlshöhe Environmental Center as an open, future-oriented place of learning and experience for all age groups and social sectors in the Hamburg metropolitan region. There, it imparts knowledge about natural life foundations, climate and energy, biodiversity, and sustainable consumption, and develops its own projects and programs such as the #moinzukunft Hamburg Climate Fund, the ESD Master Plan 2030, Climate School PLUS, and Energy to the Power of Four.

The Hamburg Climate Protection Foundation is committed to structurally and practically embedding education for sustainable development in Hamburg and effectively raising awareness of climate protection among people of all ages. It believes in the transformative power of knowledge and experience and aims to empower citizens, institutions, and initiatives to actively contribute to shaping the path toward a climate-neutral and livable future through their own engagement.

The offerings of the Hamburg Climate Protection Foundation are aimed at the broad society of the Hamburg metropolitan region: children, adolescents and adults, social groups and educational institutions, as well as non-profit initiatives and organizations. Within the framework of Gut Karlshöhe and its project programs, the foundation supports both individuals and schools, clubs, associations, and civil society initiatives that actively wish to engage in climate protection and sustainable action.
