About Us
The CLEO Institute
Founded in 2010, The CLEO Institute is a women-led nonprofit, nonpartisan organization exclusively dedicated to climate education, advocacy, and engagement.
The Climate Leadership Engagement Opportunities (CLEO) Institute
The devastating hurricanes, increased flooding, and rising temperatures underscore the importance of CLEO’s work. We have grown from a one-woman operation based in Miami to a team of almost 20 full-time employees around the state of Florida.
Building community resilience and adaptive capacity require an informed, engaged, and prepared public. With a top-down, bottom-up approach, we work with government, business, academic, and community leaders to advocate for long-term equitable solutions for climate action.
OUR MISSION
To educate and empower communities to demand climate action, ensuring a safe, just, and healthy environment for all.
OUR VISION
To live in a world in which all people, governments, and organizations are informed, engaged, and taking action on critical climate issues.
OUR VALUES
- Heed the science
- Seek social justice
- Respect Earth’s limited resources
- Value community and collaboration
- Prioritize accountability and transparency
- Respect multiple approaches to solving the climate crisis
