About SNAPP Teams

SNAPP has engaged more than 710 institutions and more than 1270 experts from over 70 countries through more than  60 teams of scientists and stakeholders since 2013. Check out videos of how SNAPP works on our YouTube Channel.

A SNAPP team is a multi-disciplinary group of experts representing a broad suite of sectors, institutions, and specialties who would not otherwise convene around a targeted, complex challenge. Teams include:

  • Academic experts in scientific fields directly relevant to the key questions
  • Representatives of governments, multilateral institutions, and the private sector
  • Practitioners from conservation, humanitarian, sustainable development, cultural, and spiritual organizations

To date, these teams have produced over 300 tools and other science-to-solution “products,” including over 140 peer-reviewed papers, and at least 12 spin-off initiatives have sprung from their work.

SNAPP teams work to find solutions to these critical challenges:

Climate Resilience

We craft nature-friendly solutions to climate change impacts like drought, storms, and sea-level rise.
Food and Freshwater

We balance the growing demand for food and freshwater with long-term conservation.
Ocean Sustainability

We discover new ways to lighten our collective impact on the ocean and its diverse ecosystems.
Social Innovations

We develop and deploy effective solutions to systemic social and environmental issues.
