Consult a Learning Group

July 24, 2025

Currently, there are no active learning groups operating in the manner below :(

If you’d like to start one, though, feel free!

</aside>

Who is this for?

This is a service for people involved with a climate project in any stage who would like input on something within the learning group's scope.

Example 1

You are developing an app steering people towards more sustainable behaviors and would like input on the behavioral science aspect of it. The Social Science Learning Group might help.

Example 2

You are refining the business model for your regenerative agriculture startup and would like input on how to structure the financing. The Climate Finance Learning Group or Regenerative Agriculture Learning Group might help.

What do I get?

You get a high-quality co-brainstorm and help with research.

People interested in your topic will share their knowledge, do literature review on the questions of importance to you, and brainstorm together with you. You might also find longer-term collaborators.

Note: learning group members are people who are interested in studying and applying this topic. Some of them may or may not be experts in it (though there often are some). If your organization needs help of a vetted expert, check out Climate Fellows instead.

How does this work?

1. Prepare

Make a doc describing your project and the questions you wish to find answers to.

Keep the questions within the scope of the learning group you wish to engage with.

See if you can find some answers in Starter Packs: Community-curated resources .

2. Request

Join the group's Slack channel and post your document.

Ask that people comment in the Slack thread if they're interested in helping with the research.

3. Sign up

If your request gets enough interest, the host will sign you up for the next available group meeting.

If you'd like people to do some research in advance, engage with them on Slack and split up the research work.

During the meeting

Please take good notes (or ask people to help) so that the meeting results in a useful permanent "case study" artifact others can read.

After the meeting

Feel free to solicit people for longer-term collaboration, however, please coordinate with them on your own channel or over DM.
