About the Lab
The Climate Advocacy Lab equips the US climate movement with the evidence-based insights, skills, and connections needed to build durable power and win equitable solutions.
Since 2015, we have served as critical climate movement infrastructure, making training, research expertise, and an extensive resource library free and accessible to our community of more than 4,000 climate practitioners from 1,500+ organizations across all 50 states; Washington, DC; Puerto Rico; and a number of Tribal nations.
The Climate Advocacy Lab was created to ensure the collective impact of the climate movement is greater than the sum of its parts.
We are helping create the conditions necessary for movement groups to engage and activate more people, more quickly through their organizing work — and in the sustained way that continues to meaningfully build our power. And it’s working!
Every day, thousands of advocates and organizers across the country work to reduce climate pollution and expand clean energy opportunities for healthier, thriving communities and a vibrant, climate-stable world. But, we are living in the most hostile political environment ever to climate action. We don’t have the time or money to waste on tactics that fail, or worse, that backfire. Policy- and decisionmakers won’t take meaningful action until they feel significant pressure from their constituents.
Enter the Climate Advocacy Lab. We use evidence, including social science research, data and analytics, field experiments, case studies, and campaign lessons learned to help climate advocates in every part of the U.S. run smarter public engagement campaigns. We raise the sophistication of the field and the appetite for evidence-informed decisions.
