Environmental and Green Friendly Public Relations Firms
Last week, the Summit on Climate Change, where world leaders from 183 countries gathered to talk about ways to combat environmental concerns, like global warming. Recent studies show that global temperatures will rise 4.5 degrees Celsius by 2100. In proposals laid down by the Paris Summit, nations plan to work together to reduce that number to 3.5 degrees, with an overall goal of 2 degrees.
America ranks as one of the leaders of carbon emissions and greenhouse gasses. PR Firms specializing in environmental and green friendly missions continue to grow more popular in tune with the rising temperatures.
Here are five of the best:
Caplan Communications
One of the largest U.S. firms to specialize in Environmental Advocacy, Caplan Communications drives some of the biggest environmental campaigns to date.

Other clients include green activists like Alaska Wilderness League, American Lung Association, American Rivers, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Defenders of Wildlife, Earthjustice, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Entrepreneurs, Evangelical Environmental Network, Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace USA.
O’Dwyer’s PR Report honored Caplan with the publication’s first “O’Dwyer’s Award for Public Communications Excellence” in the environmental/public affairs category.
