Open Team is a non-profit organization created early 2015 following the 20th annual UN Climate Conference (COP20) in Peru. The team of co-founders became aware of the effects of global warming and how governments are trying to coordinate their efforts to contain the devastating consequences on our environment. They were shocked to note the gap between the facts reported by the scientists presented in this closed ecosystem of negotiators, and the limited understanding that the public opinion has about this issue, which threatens the very survival of our civilization on a horizon of a century. The Open Team wanted to respond to these challenges by creating an accelerator, the Scale School, with the goal to replicate large-scale social and environmental solutions on a large scale. Thanks to the Scale School, entrepreneurs who have implemented innovative and mature solutions can pass on their know-how at large scale to emerging entrepreneurs who can be more efficient in replicating a proven solution. The first project being replicated is an organic micro-farm called Spiral Farm House, located in Nepal and founded in 2013 by Sudarshan Chaudhary. The program aims to document, train and support the switch to organic for a large number of other micro-farmers in Nepal and beyond, with a peer-learning methodolodgy. Ares of focus: reforestation, agroforestry, responsible consumption, food security, education, gender equality, renewable energies, respect for indigenous cultures...
