Carbon Sense is a small, independent project that explains climate and energy economics in plain language. No ads, no sponsored content, and no paywall - just careful writing that tries to be useful to people who actually work on climate and energy policy.

Right now, everything runs on volunteer time. That is not sustainable if we want to keep publishing serious work at a steady pace and bring more people into the project.

This fundraiser has a simple goal: cover the basic costs of keeping Carbon Sense alive and improve the quality and frequency of what we publish.

What the funds will cover

Why support this

Most climate communication falls into one of two traps: superficial “awareness” pieces, or dense technical documents that are unreadable for anyone outside a small circle. Carbon Sense exists to fill the gap between those two. The aim is to give analysts, civil servants, researchers, and practitioners something they can actually use:

Every contribution helps turn nights-and-weekends work into something more stable. It means more pieces on topics that rarely get covered seriously: just transition finance, social impacts of decarbonisation, climate risk regulation, and the politics of who pays for all this.

If you read Carbon Sense, cite it, use it in your own work, or just value having an evidence-based, non-hyped voice in climate economics, this is your chance to keep it going.

Thank you for helping make that possible.
