Ready to contribute to climate policy evidence?

The What Works Climate Solutions Crowd, or 'What Works Crowd', is a community science platform to enable large-scale collaborative annotation projects.

Our mission is to empower individuals worldwide to contribute to evidence-based climate policy and support science assessments. We can do this together in the What Works Crowd by rigorously evaluating and synthesizing evidence on effective climate policies using the collective power of a strong and engaged global community.

Join the What Works Crowd and help build a global evidence base on which climate policies and practices work. Your contributions support critical research assessing the effectiveness of climate interventions.
