Designing 4WARD for You, Joining a CEO Roundtable & Surveying the State of Global Climate Scene by City!
🌎 The State of Global Climate Ecosystems City Survey!
To help expand your city's climate & sustainability scene (both locally and then globally), we need to understand how things stand in 100s of cities around the world. Only then, can we create the resources, tools, programs & events needed to accelerate & connect the disparate local climate ecosystems for faster climate action at scale.
To do that, we'd really appreciate 30s of your time to better understand your city's climate scene. Help us help your city by submitting our Climate City Survey here.
