The focus of our work is to discover, test, adapt and spread knowhow. Practical knowhow about climate repair helps people to reduce the global warming gases in Earth’s environment. It isn’t the same as knowing what something is, knowing about something or (worse) having opinions about something.

Useful knowhow may be embedded in several forms, and combined:

An arrow indicates support, for example Tools support Skills and Practices. The order of boxes from left-to-right reflects the typical order in which knowhow develops over time. All of these forms have something in common: they can be communicated to other people and so spread far and wide.

For example, suppose your climate repair team is working on Shifting Diets, and by chance you stumble upon a recipe that might appeal to many people as a low-emission version of Spaghetti Bolognese. The team might develop knowhow along these lines:

Forms of Knowhow	For example:
Observations	Notes from watching a TV chef
Trial results	Your own tests of the chef’s most promising recipe
Information & data	A written recipe. Facts about ingredients, e.g. their nutrient content
Practices	Running a Cook’s Repertoire. Adapting recipes for cost and preferences
Skills	Cooking methods. Meal planning
Tools	Kitchen gadgets. Nutrition database. Recipe apps
