Climate Chess

It's Our Move, Team Urgency!

What if Team Urgency had the tools, the knowledge, and the playbook to more effectively challenge the status quo?

What is climate chess?

Climate Chess isn’t just a metaphor. It’s the operating manual for moving from “good intentions” to “game-changing outcomes." And it’s powered by the world’s best climate knowledge solutions.

Climate chess recognizes that the ongoing conflict between Team Climate Urgency and Team Climate No-Urgency will determine the future climate. 

Climate chess recognizes that Team No-Urgency is characterized by a relatively small number of powerful pieces that are actively coordinating and collaborating.

Climate Chess understands that despite having many more chess pieces on the board, Team Urgency has been unable to overcome Team No-Urgency’s strong position on the board.

Climate Chess is about looking for the best ways to move Team Urgency chess pieces forward on the board at any given time, and then marshalling the necessary resources and collaboration.

Climate Chess is about on-boarding to Team Urgency a fraction of the millions of individuals concerned about climate change, but with no idea of what they can do to help.
