                <p>The <a href="/">ClimateAction.tech</a> community formed when a previously unaffiliated set of tech sector workers and employees found each other and bonded on a shared vision &mdash; to volunteer their own time, and to support and engage the entire tech sector in addressing the climate crisis.</p>
                <p>This includes deep respect for the many existing efforts to tackle and address climate, an awareness of the privileged position many workers hold in tech, especially in wealthy countries, and a desire to contribute what we can through our time, skill-sets, positions and other possible resources.<br><br></p>
