The Climate Advocacy Lab helps the climate community build grassroots power and win through evidence-based advocacy.

In addition to running a resource-sharing platform to support the field, the Lab facilitates in-person and virtual workshops and trainings for the community. It also supports testing and exploration of key questions facing the climate movement. For the Lab, digital advocacy is not an afterthought.
