As one of the world's leading public research institutions, the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) has been advancing knowledge in various fields such as life sciences, materials, the universe, as well as social and human sciences for over 80 years. With a focus on excellence and interdisciplinary research, the CNRS serves society. The CNRS is a major global player in climate change research. The number of scientific publications by its researchers evaluated by the IPCC in its 6th report ranks the CNRS as the second-largest producer of knowledge on climate change worldwide. Climate change has been placed at the core of the CNRS's Performance Objectives Contract as one of its six major themes.

As a public research institution, the CNRS is committed to disseminating knowledge to diverse audiences.

The Institut Pierre-Simon-Laplace (IPSL) is a research federation gathering 10 laboratories specialized on environmental sciences. Together, these laboratories managed to build a integrated model of the Earth system, able to simulate the present climate as well as past and futur climates. Aware of the importance of education, the IPSL supports the OCE in order to offer high quality pedagogical resources, elaborated with the specialists of the active pedagogy, and validated by scientists.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) technical support units (TSUs) of the Working groups I, II and III, helps facilitate the production of IPCC assessment reports on climate change.

The TSUs are keen to promote and support the usage of IPCC reports in education and outreach, including encouraging and assisting IPCC authors to participate in such activities. To the OCE, the TSUs bring a broad knowledge of the concepts, topics and contributing researchers/institutions across the domains of climate change research, accrued through its editorial role in the production of IPCC reports.

Since March 2021, the OCE is an official IPCC observer.

The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research  addresses crucial scientific questions in the fields of global change, climate impacts and sustainable development. Researchers from the natural and social sciences work together to generate interdisciplinary insights and to provide society with sound information for decision making.

Within this spirit, PIK supports OCE through scientific advice and co-development of relevant narratives.

The French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) supports innovative environmental solutions in developing countries. It was established in 1994 by the French government after the first Earth Summit and to date has funded 333 projects in more than 120 countries, two-thirds of them in Africa. The FFEM works in partnership with the public and private sectors and civil society in both the North and the South. It also works closely with other donors and international organisations. The projects it finances generate environmental, social and economic benefits for local populations. They help preserve biodiversity, climate, international waters, land and the ozone layer while combating pollution. The FFEM has an unusual approach that involves supporting pilot projects to learn lessons from them and disseminate their innovations on a larger scale.

The FFEEM supports the OCE to set up a pilot project for climate change education in Latin America (CLEAR project) for the period 2020-2024.

The French Government supports the national and international activities of the Office for Climate Education, as a category II centre under the auspices of UNESCO, located in France.
This Ministry, in charge of environmental issues, is very supportive of the OCE activities, especially through the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM).

The French Government supports the national and international activities of the Office for Climate Education, as a category II centre under the auspices of UNESCO, located in France.

The Luciole Foundation has been contributing to the educational and environmental fields in both France and abroad, for over a decade now. Its objective is to help the needy, both children and adults, by allowing them to acquire the knowledge (mainly in agriculture) that will lead to self-sufficiency, in having access to basic education, and in raising their awareness of the fundamentals of health and hygiene. The foundation is also aware of the undeniable necessity to protect the environment and the need to respect all living things. It was thus naturally that it accepted to partake in the Office for Climate Education project, by bringing the financial support it needs. Today, the Luciole Foundation is proud to be a partner of this ambitious program, indispensable to bringing about change in the world.

In June 2006, SAS the Prince Albert II of Monaco decided of creating His own foundation in order to help in preserving our planet’s environment. Three main actions are defined as: protection of biodiversity, mitigation of climate change effects and promotion of renewable energies, management of water resources and combat of desertification. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation supports environmental projects at the international level in targeted regions: polar regions, Mediterranean basin and Least Developed Countries (as defined by the United Nations official list). The Foundation plays a major role in the improvement of scientific knowledge as well as deciders awareness. The Foundation supports the OCE in his target actions.

The Programme d'investissements d'avenir (PIA), steered by the General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI), was set up by the French government to finance innovative and promising investments in the country, in order to enable France to increase its growth and employment potential.
It supports structural reforms and responds to four major challenges facing France: carbon neutrality, access to employment, competitiveness through innovation and the digital society.
