Climate Working Group

Climate Working Group Logo

The Climate Working Group (CWG) is a creative assembly of researchers, scholars, artists, activists, and organizations working to address our climate crisis while bridging the sciences, arts, humanities, and policy. The CWG works on collaborative short-term and long-term projects for public audiences, and serves as a network for resource sharing, feedback, and opportunities to engage across disciplines.

The Climate Working Group is a proud partner of the Cities, Cultures, and Climate Change Working Group at the Institute for Public Knowledge.
