CommsCOM.: A free WhatsApp community for climate & sustainability communications
Action on climate and sustainability is under pressure. Geopolitical tensions and economic constraints are forcing governments, companies and organisations to reorganise priorities. Many professionals are expected to deliver impact while navigating climate and sustainability backlash, shrinking budgets, low media atention and rapidly changing algorithms that decide who gets seen or goes hidden.
To help overcome these challenges, 10 Billion Solutions – Climate & Sustainability Communications is launching CommsCOM. as a WhatsApp Community (not just a one-way channel). CommsCOM. is a free, global space where communicators and climate and sustainability professionals get real value and contribute real value from each other while benefiting from 10 Billion Solutions’ expertise, tools, and editorial curation.
What Is a WhatsApp Community and Why to Use It
A WhatsApp community enables two-way interaction, peer learning and collaboration, unlike a WhatsApp channel, which is mainly designed for one-way broadcasting. While channels are useful for sharing updates or announcements, communities allow members to ask questions, exchange insights, share opportunities and support each other in a more dynamic and structured way.
For climate and sustainability professionals, a WhatsApp community creates ongoing professional value by fostering trust, collective intelligence and practical knowledge, making it a more effective format for learning, networking and navigating fast-changing communication challenges.
In a context of information overload, declining trust and fragmented attention, many professionals no longer need more content, but better signals. A curated WhatsApp community helps cut through the noise by prioritising relevance over volume and dialogue over reach. Instead of chasing algorithms or competing for visibility, members stay connected to what really matters through peer exchange, contextualised insights and shared experience. This shift from broadcasting to conversation is increasingly critical for climate and sustainability communications, where credibility, nuance and timing directly affect impact.
In CommsCOM. every interaction will help members move forward professionally through career opportunities, tools, industry insights and expert advice.
What’s CommsCOM.? (and why it’s different)
Initially CommsCOM. Discussions will be organised across four discussion groups:
- Industry Insights: Members share signals from their sectors and regions; 10 Billion Solutions will also add insights and industry trends, concise analysis and clear takeaways on what matters around in climate and sustainability communications.
- Clinics: A problem-solving space where members bring real communication challenges. 10 Billion Solutions and expert peers will respond by sharing experiences, good practices and ad-hoc advice. Questions could be anonymised when needed.
- Jobs: Opportunities across climate and sustainability communications can be shared by admins and members.
- Resources: A practical space to share learning opportunities, and free resources such as toolkits, checklists, guides or case studies.
As Mariana Castaño Cano, Founder & CEO of 10 Billion Solutions, says: “We launch CommsCOM. as an exchange space to help each other in a particularly challenging time so that climate and sustainability professionals can grow both their skills and the impact of their organisations. We will invest our resources to make sure this community is a useful and safe space were everyone feels welcome and finds value in sharing. Now more than ever, we need to tap into our collective intelligence.”

Don’t Miss What’s Coming Next in Climate & Sustainability Communications
If you work in communications, staying ahead of key moments matters as much as the message itself. To support professionals at the planning and execution stage, 10 Billion Solutions has developed the 2026 Sustainability & Climate Communication Calendar. It brings together the main international milestones, policy moments, awareness days and sector events shaping the climate and sustainability agenda in 2026, helping communicators anticipate opportunities, align narratives and plan content with more strategic timing.
You can download the calendar here.
Disclaimer
Like any other WhatsApp community, the CommsCOM. Community will have a limited capacity of 2,000 members. In the event of demand exceeding that capacity, 10 Billion Solutions will reserve the right to accept new membership demands based on professional selection criteria, and only professionals in areas related to the community topics will be admitted.
