Clima Now is a Zurich-based foundation established on March 15, 2021, to counter climate change by funding projects that cut greenhouse gas emissions and boost absorption. Registered under commercial number CH-020.7.002.433-6 with UID CHE-488.300.041, it operates from Riesbachstrasse 61 and falls into the sector of religious, political, or secular associations. Its seven-person board includes president Martin Meili, a retired Zurich general practitioner who participated in the first Earth Day in 1970, alongside brothers Daniel and Hans-Jürg Meili.
Executive director Nathalie Moral, a former consultant at PwC and Bain with a University of St. Gallen degree, drives operations alongside team members like Marco Schneider, who advanced climate ventures at Migros, and Franziska Heidenreich, ex-myclimate carbon project manager.
The foundation has secured 24 million Swiss francs in donations for zero-financial-return investments in climate solutions. It runs PACT, a policy and advocacy initiative for Switzerland's 2050 climate neutrality, co-creating alliances and partner projects. Clima Now also showcases solutions, mobilizes community input on funding, and supports startups via programs like the 2025 Impact Hub Zurich Horizon Spotlight, emphasizing systemic levers over isolated efforts.
