Climate Vine reposted this
There's no replacement for strong community in impact-driven industries like climatetech. It's what generates opportunities and relationships between folks in the space, fosters partnerships between innovative players taking new solutions to market, and disperses the insights we all need to stay informed within this rapidly-evolving field. Organizations like Terra.do, MCJ Collective, Work on Climate, CrowdSolve, Climate People, Climatebase, Climate Draft, and others have adopted a much-needed, large-scale approach to building the foundational platform for climate, creating the learning modules, job boards, Slack channels, and newsletters that have become the connective tissue linking up the millions of people dedicating their professional lives to this mission. Other groups have followed a more bottoms-up take to cultivating this community. One in particular that I'm really excited to explore (and recently joined) is Climate Vine, a membership-based network curating topical small groups, socials, and off-the-record conversations with climate leaders. Very keen to see how the targeted approach engineered by Candice Ammori and team nurtures stronger relationship-building, deeper knowledge-sharing, and longer-term collaborations within the space. Glad to share my experience with these communities with anyone interested and excited to learn from more climatetech warriors in the months ahead!
