Description
Climate change presents one of the greatest communications challenges of all time. To help tell the story, Climate Central aims to develop an unmatched collection of video, graphics and writing for broadcast and publication in diverse venues. The Internet is an integral part of our strategy; all content will be collected and promoted online, through a steady stream of publishing on our own site, through partnerships, and through social media.

The Czar will have a senior role and the cooperation of a small but capable technical and editorial team, but will be expected to do a little bit of everything in our start-up environment. Future growth anticipated.
