America knows what needs to be done to solve the problem of global warming and can easily afford the solutions. 

SolveClimate’s mission is to offer the proof and to shine a spotlight on our leaders to make them accountable for solutions.

More About Us

David Sassoon
In the early 1980’s, David Sassoon spent a number of years based in Kathmandu, Nepal, as a UN Volunteer and as a photographer working in the black-and-white documentary tradition. It left an enduring imprint, and since returning, he’s never quite recovered from culture shock.

At first, he went to Columbia University's journalism school, where he earned a masters degree to add to an undergraduate diploma from Harvard, and he put down his cameras and picked up the pen. For the next decade, he worked in the non-profit arena with organizations promoting social development, human rights and cultural preservation. In that stretch he founded and published a quarterly tabloid called Action for Children, which UNICEF distributed worldwide in three languages. The next decade found him in the private sector publicizing emerging science for multi-national communications agencies.

In 2003, he lucked out. He jumped on opportunities to work in support of solutions for global warming, largely for non-environmental organizations, and to help articulate the urgent social and economic case for climate action. SolveClimate is an extension and amplification of that effort, and a digital experiment in advancing the common good.

Stacy Feldman
Feldman’s first foray into the world of journalism was in 1998, in a tiny village in Ghana, where she worked on a small-scale documentary on the economic development struggles of the area. Still interested in visual media, she took a job in television in Austin, Texas when the Africa project came to a close. Following her short-lived stint in broadcast news, she got a break writing for the Jerusalem Report magazine in Israel. From there she spent some time in India before moving to New York to attend Columbia University, where she earned a masters from the School of International and Public Affairs.

For three years after her studies, she worked for a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing equity into the public school system. Her next job was for an environmental organization. It became her window into the world of the climate change issue, and helped to plant the seeds for her work at SolveClimate.
