Our Founder

Our Founder

Jim Volp

Founder

Jim, a space educator based in Bonn, founded Space4Climate after COP26 and Fridays for Future woke him up through his four children. Satellites are “magical boxes” that help us understand climate change — and he wants to tell that story in the most exciting way possible. The organisation is 100% volunteer-driven.

Our partners

We are proud of our Honorary Board — Barbara Ryan, Mazlan Othman, Jeanne Holm, and Lisa Vitaris — and a global Board of Advisors who help us create impact.
