Bend Climate Collective

About Bend Climate Collective

We are building a bold, local movement to make Central Oregon a hub for climate innovation and progress. Join the thinkers, doers, and dreamers shaping a thriving, resilient future, right here in Bend. Bend has long been a magnet for adventurers, nature lovers, and forward-thinkers. The region is rich with cross-sector efforts to protect our planet and combat climate change yet it’s been hindered by its fragmentation over the years. What began in 2023 as the Central Oregon Climate Tech Meet-Up has since evolved into the Bend Climate Collective—a mission-driven community designed to catalyze action across communities and industries. Our goal is to spur technological advancement, foster shared learning, and support resilient, climate-forward commerce in the face of our greatest environmental challenges. Our ultimate vision is to transform Bend into a thriving hub for climate progress and innovation. That means bringing together local experts, entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, practitioners, and community members to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, invest resources, and inspire lasting change. We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming events—or reach out and share how you’d like to help grow this community for climate progress.
