Working Groups

The Climate Camp process's work has always taken place in small working groups. The Climate Camp process is run on a basis of trusting each other. A lot more gets done by small groups of people working on the details rather than the wider groups micromanaging every little thing.

The best to get involved is to join a working group. They are not like committees, in that they don't have elected members. They are open to anyone to join and contribute to.

Here's the working groups currently up and running...
Process Group
Finance Group
Space Group
Action Support Group
Action Strategy Group
Legal 2008 Group
Gathering Group
Website Group

Because we are currently embarking on a new and exciting process following Climate Camp 2008, many new working groups are still in the process of forming. Groups in their embryonic stages include an International Affairs working group, a Convergence working group, and many Rolling Blockade Networking sub-groups.
