About Us
Climate Change is the challenge of our generation — and together, we can tackle it.
Teams for a Better Planet brings post-pandemic, virtual workforces together to learn and build community around the challenges that are shaping our world, starting with global climate change.
Through hands-on learning modules focused on climate awareness, education, and solutions design, we provide the necessary tools your work community needs to connect with purpose, empower each other, and take meaningful climate action in your personal life and professional capacity.
