Studios

Climate Studios are strategically designed experiences with a bias for action that bring together diverse, cross-sector stakeholders to innovate in addressing critical local climate-related challenges.

Climate solutions must be grounded in cross-sectoral collaboration to be equitable and impactful.

Climate Studios are small, intimate, and establish a high-trust environment to enable stakeholders across sectors to work in new ways and collaborate on unconventional, even risky ideas.

Studios serve as incubators for new initiatives that carry the solutions fostered in the sessions forward.
