About ClimaBridge

ClimaBridge is a mission-driven strategy firm focused on advancing climate solutions through cross-sector collaboration, policy insight, and innovation.

We work with nonprofits, philanthropies, government agencies, and market leaders to bridge the gap between ambition and execution—helping transformative ideas scale with clarity, integrity, and impact.

Founded by Melanie Colburn, ClimaBridge builds on over 15 years of leadership in sustainability strategy, market transformation, and high-impact partnerships. With a track record that spans voluntary standards, decarbonization programs, and climate-focused thought leadership, we bring both vision and precision to complex climate challenges.

Whether advising on building performance standards, designing capacity-building curricula, or facilitating multi-stakeholder convenings, we help our partners lead with purpose—and deliver results.

How We Work

ClimaBridge is a strategy platform—not a full-time consulting firm. We selectively collaborate on mission-aligned projects that advance climate resilience, equity, and decarbonization.

Our work is scoped intentionally and pursued in partnership with organizations that share our systems-focused, integrity-driven approach. Melanie Colburn is currently focused on climate leadership roles, and ClimaBridge remains a home for ongoing thought leadership and strategic engagement.
