About Subak

Subak is a climate action incubator driving systems change by mobilising and funding networks of not-for-profits to tackle urgent climate challenges. Our mission is to create systemic change through collaborative climate action.

Launched in 2020 with founding members including Baroness Bryony Worthington, lead author of the UK Climate Change Act, Subak now supports a community of more than 500 individuals globally through its community activities, organisational development, programmes and learning to foster resilience. Subak’s programmes drive systems change by increasing the capacity and capability of our community to achieve real impact across climate sectors.

Subak is built around the desire to shift systems for a more flourishing, sustainable world - and everything we do is driven by this. We hold a unique place in the London climate ecosystem and are in a brilliant position to grow our community of climate not-for-profits and changemakers. Aside from its fantastic working culture, Subak provides a great opportunity to grow personally and professionally, and to contribute to a genuinely purpose-driven organisation.
