Climate Lab will develop a participatory website - ClimateLab.org - that allows individuals, companies, and policymakers to contribute to and access a comprehensive source of information and funding opportunities related to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

As the user community grows, the Climate Lab will continue to leverage new internet technologies that empower concerned individuals and organizations to take meaningful action.
