Introducing the What Works Crowd

Join the Citizen Science Movement for Climate Action

We are excited to announce the launch of the What Works Crowd, a citizen science initiative inspired by the success of the and in collaboration with the Cochrane Crowd. Our mission is to empower individuals worldwide to contribute to evidence-based policy and support science assessments  by rigorously evaluating and synthesizing evidence on effective climate policies.

Our first task — Climate Solutions Evidence — is powered by Cochrane Crowd and anyone can join!

Why Join the What Works Crowd?

  • Contribute to Global Climate Research: Your participation will directly support the efforts in assessing climate change science, informing policymakers, and guiding international climate action.
  • Be Part of a Collaborative Community: Engage with like-minded citizens, researchers, and experts dedicated to identifying and promoting effective climate solutions.
  • Enhance Your Skills: Gain valuable experience in evidence synthesis, data analysis, and critical thinking, all while making a meaningful impact on global climate policy.

How Does It Work?

As a member of the What Works Crowd, you’ll participate in tasks such as reviewing and classifying research studies, data extraction, and summarizing findings related to climate policies. No prior experience is necessary; we provide all the training and resources you need to get started.

Get Involved

Ready to make a difference? The What Works Crowd will be launching its own platform — but you don’t have to wait. Our first task is powered by Cochrane Crowd, where anyone can join. Together, we can harness the power of citizen science to drive effective climate action.
