Rationale behind teams#
Members of the Climate CoLab can create proposals by themselves, but since a variety of kinds of expertise are needed to create a good proposal, members are encouraged to form teams.For instance, a team might include different people with expertise in quantitative modeling, political analysis, writing, and artistic creation.
