Climate Lab Beta Launch

On March 2, 2009, Climate Lab launched the beta version of climatelab.org, a wiki on issues related to climate change.  A wiki is a website users can edit. 

Climate Lab's wiki technology allows policy experts, development specialists, engineers, academics, activists and others concerned with climate change to define a common language, identify the most relevant information, and discover better ways of working together.

Climate Lab is just getting started.  During our period of beta testing, we may make modifications to the website or our policies and procedures.

Feedback - We seek ample feedback from users. Please contact us with questions and comments.

Partnerships - Would your organization like to partner with Climate Lab?  Contact us.

Make Climate Lab your online home for climate-related knowledge sharing and collaboration. Sign up to receive occasional email updates.
