3 years ago, I started exploring various models to bring together people working in sustainability and climate. Why?
Because humanity’s greatest problem is also its biggest opportunity to come together to build and collaborate on climate solutions at scale.
And 18 months ago, 4WARD.earth as you know it today was born - a free, open-to-all climate & sustainability do-ers network that’s part LinkedIn, part Meetup, part Tinder (minus the awkward swiping):
4WARD brings together four key pillars to support climate & sustainability doers at any level:
1. A Global Community (if you aren’t a member, what are you waiting for?): https://4ward.earth/circle
2. Supported by local city groups in 60+ cities that meet IRL: https://4ward.earth/cities
3. Driven by a host of networking opportunities, member calls and virtual events for learning and coming together moments: https://4ward.earth/events
4. And expert support sessions, office hours & consultancy services on fundraising, growth, & decarbonization for those that need it
To set the matter straight and explain our lofty goals, we made a video :)
https://youtu.be/v0X8l2ACuL8
We'd love to hear your thoughts on how we’re helping climate & sustainability stakeholders everywhere…?
Because true decarbonisation and global impact only occur if the entire world’s aligned, onboard and collaboratively moving the world 4WARD ➡ 🌳
