League rules, procedures, scoring and so much more!
Introduction
Step into a new frontier of environmental action with the Global Climate League, where the focus is on the bioregional stage. Whether you're an individual, a company, a school, or a community group - everyone's invited to join this exhilarating venture.
Under the vast umbrella of the Global Climate League, 185 teams emerge, each representing a distinct bioregion on our planet. It's not just a league; it's a movement uniting people worldwide. Picture this: 5 theme-leagues, each with its own set of league-specific standings and a coveted championship.
Now, here's the magic - the teams aren't just made up of players; they encompass everyone in the bioregion contributing to activities related to the 5 key themes. It's a dynamic collaboration where individuals, organizations, and companies join forces, driving impactful change right where it matters most. Welcome to the Global Climate League, where every bioregion becomes a stage for environmental and social transformation.
