Climate Lab Networks

In April 2010, Climate Lab founded a new collaborative network and service to syndicate its climate change content. Climate Lab Networks marks the first time a public site has syndicated open-sourced climate change content across multiple websites.

Climate Lab Networks provides customized streaming access to Climate Lab's open-source climate change content, allowing partners to republish and rebrand the live content within their own sites. By syndicating Climate Lab content, Climate Lab Networks allows each partner to leverage and contribute to a shared climate change resource while maintaining its unique focus and achieving its own goals.

Pioneering the new network, Climate Institute and the Latin American and Caribbean Council on Renewable Energy (LAC-CORE) are the first NGOs to join Climate Lab Networks. Please contact Climate Lab if your organization is interested in becoming a Climate Lab Networks partner.

Sharing benefits everyone. By sharing content, stakeholders help define a common language and a common set of metrics to identify better solutions and evaluate the success of their efforts. And by allowing organizations to integrate Climate Lab content into their own sites, Climate Lab creates a new incentive for organizations working to address climate change.

Since launching a year ago, Climate Lab, which is built on MindTouch's enterprise collaboration platform, has emerged as a leading clearinghouse on climate-related information, collectively edited by over 350 climate professionals, academics, students and concerned individuals across the world who volunteer their time. Articles on Climate Lab can be collaboratively authored and edited freely by any registered climatelab.org user.

To demonstrate the new service, articles written and edited on Climate Lab...

What others are saying about Climate Lab Networks

Hear what others are saying about Climate Lab Networks as they use it to leverage more dynamic content, share their information with a wider network, and collaborate with a growing community of organizations and individuals working together toward climate change solutions.

"As a practical matter, joining Climate Lab Networks is a low-cost way to develop an extremely dynamic website. We expect that Climate Lab will help us spread our message about environmental education and effective responses to climate change."

- John Topping, Founder and CEO, Climate Institute

"By allowing NGOs and other groups to stream their content into each others websites, Climate Lab is giving these diversified sources and specialists a reason to come together under one roof – and maybe just in the nick of time,"

- Scott Sklar, Founder and President, Stella Group, Ltd.
Former Executive Director of the Solar Energy Industries Association and the National BioEnergy Industries Association

"Climate Lab Networks has saved us time and money in research and technology costs, in addition to linking us into a collaborative network of organizations worldwide. In our experience Climate Lab is the best way of engaging people and organizations on an international level, and it is evident through the work we have done at the Latin American and Caribbean Council On Renewable Energy (LAC-CORE). I would personally recommend that any organization interested in reaching a large constituency with a wealth of reliable information work with the Climate Lab and secure a Climate Lab Networks partnership."

CEO, Latin American and Caribbean Council On Renewable Energy (LAC-CORE)
