Our Common Grounds
Cagora is part of the Climateers Pty Ltd (ACN 665 514 045) network of websites, built to empower people and organisations to accelerate solutions to the world's problems by creating more connections, that lead to great conversations, that lead to more collaboration and stronger communities.
We are ecosystem orchestrators, working with local communities, communities of interest and communities of purpose.
Mission, vision and who
Our mission
To support the transition to a thriving 2030s built on common ground solutions.
Our vision
A regenerating world where we thrive, and society and nature are healing.
Our who
A community of everyday people leaning into the world's problems with their skills, passions, assets and networks.
Who started it
Climateers Pty Ltd was founded by four people, and the mix explains a lot about how it works: two chemical engineers, a social innovator and an operator.
Rob Anderson
Chemical engineer and innovation professional, working on complex problems to help accelerate the transition to a sustainable and regenerative society. Runs Climateers, from Melbourne.
LinkedIn
Amelie Catheline
Sustainability advisor, chemical engineer and PhD, originally from France and now in San Diego. Particularly on water and on food.
LinkedIn
Melanie Lewis
Social innovation, community engagement, and building the entrepreneurial mindsets the next generation will need.
LinkedIn
Kylie Nicol
An experienced manager of businesses and leader of people, who builds partnerships across every level of an organisation, from colleagues through to the board.
LinkedIn
What comes next is a larger group than four. We are building a team of volunteers and accredited facilitators to carry this further than the founders can on their own.

Spread the word locally
A notice on a local noticeboard still works.
We want to build community around shared interests, starting where people live. One of the simplest ways to spread the word locally is an A4 notice on a noticeboard at your library, cafe, community garden or neighbourhood house.
Once you sign up, we generate yours for you in the My Ripple section of your dashboard, with your own ripple QR codes on the tear-offs. Write your name, your town and what you care about in the box, print it and pin it up. Everyone who joins from your poster appears in your ripple.
Organisations and community groups can create a poster too, and spread the word in their own name.
The book
Changemaker42, by Jean Arcadian. Free when you join.
A 42-step guide from overwhelm to agency in the AI era. It is waiting in your dashboard as soon as you join, with no strings attached. Sharing is never required to get it.
Read it at your own pace, or load it into your AI and run it as a personal course, one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. Joining, the map, the actions and the book are all free, forever.
Is this a social network?
No. There are no posts, feeds, followers, likes or algorithms, and no messaging. The only way to meet someone is a Quick Chat you have both agreed to.
Do I need to be an activist?
Not at all. You might be passionate about a cause, curious about what others are doing, looking for community, or simply keen to see more of the good that is already happening. Take part in whatever way suits you.
What if I don't have much time?
Start with a two-minute action and do more when you can. Being on the map counts too.
What if nobody near me is on the map yet?
That is exactly why the map exists. You can be the first in your area, and your ripple code and poster help the next people find you.
What can other people see about me?
Only what you choose to put on your card. You are pinned at your postcode, never your street address, and you can hide your postcode, your causes and your groups. You do not even need a password: sign up securely with LinkedIn, Google or a magic link to your email. Your phone number is never shown, and your email address is shared only with someone you have both agreed to meet on a fifteen-minute Quick Chat. Read the full privacy policy.
What is a ripple?
Your ripple is the growing circle of people who joined because of you, and the people they brought in. It grows each time someone uses your ripple code, or joins through the code of a person or organisation your invitation started.
What are Quick Chats?
An optional fifteen-minute video meet with someone who wants to meet you, and who you want to meet. Quick Chats are off until you switch them on. You choose which invites to accept, and your email address is shared only after you have both said yes.
How do I add my organisation?
Join, then add the organisation from your dashboard, or claim it if it is already on the map. Organisations are pinned at their street address. Community groups that want to go further can become a partner.
How do I change or remove my card?
Change your card at any time from your dashboard. You can hide your card, or delete it and your account, at any time, no questions asked, and we automatically email you a confirmation when it is done. If you leave, your ripple rolls up automatically, so the people you brought in stay connected.
Who runs the network?
Climateers Pty Ltd, a Melbourne-based social enterprise, runs every pillar listed at the top of this page. Climateers is a non-political, non-partisan network in business to help us all steer together towards a thriving future for our kids and future generations.
