π Our values
The workonclimate.org community is positive, action-oriented and experimental
ππ½ Positive
Celebrate others and keep them motivated.
Seek to provide actionable constructive feedback and let a diverse set of approaches flourish.
β‘ Action-oriented
Do more and talk less.
Try things out and share your results. Team up with others interested in the same thing. Drive initiatives and actively reach out to help others.
π§ͺ Experimental
Try out new approaches and ideas.
Have an idea for how something can be run? Try it out and ask for forgiveness!
ππ½ General guidelines for engagement
WoCl is fertile soil rather than fruit - Give back, Create virtuous cycles, Scale yourself!
Found a broadly useful resource?
- π Good: Share it with a personal comment on why it is useful to people who want to work on climate, and what you got out of it.
- π Better: Write it down on Notion - e.g. add it to a Starter Pack, reorganize the pack a bit if necessary. Not sure where to put it? Ask on #community-feedback!
Need help with something that others might also need help with?
- π Good: Ask for yourself on #need-help
- π Better: When you get an answer, if the answer is reusable, write it down on Notion.
- π€© Even better: Come up with an idea for how to help people with a similar need, post on #community-meta, find collaborators and make it happen!
Want to meet someone from a certain company?
- π Good: Find someone from there on #introductions, reach out to them being mindful of etiquette (below).
- π Better: Loved the conversation? Ask if they would like to give a talk to WoCl, organize an event with them!
π· Slack etiquette
π― Stay on topic
- WoCl is exclusively focused on climate. Only share discussions/resources whose primary focus is climate. For example: do not share an event targeting entrepreneurs in general, or a resource about machine learning in general. However, itβs okay to ask with non-climate-specific help with your personal climate work - e.g. βIβm hiring our first employee, can someone help me understand the legalities?β.
- WoCl is exclusively focused on climate work. WoCl is not a general-purpose climate forum. Climate news, climate events not related to finding work, discussions about climate action as an individual etc. are not in scope.
- Litmus test π§ͺ: does reading this help someone start or advance their climate career?
- If you want to share something that is not obviously related to climate work, but you think it is, please add your thoughts on its relevance.
For example: "This article talks about recent trends in circular economy policy. I thought it would be helpful as a source of business model ideas for founders, e.g. policy X enables model Y!"
