Our impact
Impact of KLIMA° vor acht so far
In line with our vision #PrimeTimeForClimate, we are constantly working to ensure that the society as a whole is informed about the climate crisis through high-quality reporting and motivated to take action. Thanks to the support of many people – whether through volunteering or donations – we have already achieved a great deal on this journey. Here is a selection of achievements:
Open letter to ARD
A resounding launch, during which we were able to rally 20,000 people behind our mission. Would you like to read again what was called for?
50,000 followers
We now reach a large and steadily growing community across various channels. Some of our posts, which provide information on current coverage and ways to improve, attract more than 180,000 views.
€135,000 in crowdfunding for climate-related programmes
The first six episodes were funded through crowdfunding. A total of €135,000 was raised for the 2026 revival, which will feature an advert slot before the tagesschau news programme.
Joint development of a climate programme on RTL
We haven’t yet managed to win over the public service broadcasters yet, but we did support RTL in developing its programme ‘Klima Update’, which has now been airing successfully since 2021.
Coverage in relevant media
We are recognised as an authoritative voice, and various major media outlets such as Der Spiegel, TAZ, Zeit Online and Tagesspiegel are picking up on our information.
Influencing broadcasting councils
Through awareness-raising initiatives such as sending the KLIMA° vor acht book to broadcasting councils or lodging programme complaints, which are also forwarded to the relevant broadcasting councils, we draw attention to the issue to key stakeholders and seek to bring about corrective action.
