National/Regional and Global Challenges

Breaking the problem of climate change into pieces, as was done in the basic challenges, isn’t enough. Also needed was a way of putting the pieces back together to solve the overall problem.

This is why the Climate CoLab conducted 10 integrated challenges at the national/regional and global levels. For more on how these challenges worked, see the “Put the pieces back together” section of Why these contests?
