The goal of the Decentralize Climate Foundation is to be as decentralized as possible, which also includes its organization, governance, operations, projects development, and even founding.
The Decentralized Climate Fundation base philosophy is considering that by bringing together a diversity of perspectives and encouraging open, evidence-based discussion, it is possible to reach better decisions and minimize corruption and mistakes. The Decentralized Climate Foundation seeks to take advantage of collective wisdom and challenge individual biases through a participatory and transparent process.

The Decentralized Climate Foundation seeks to take advantage of collective wisdom and challenge individual biases through a participatory and transparent process.
The Decentralized Climate Foundation aims to operate in a decentralized manner, involving various participants in its governance and projects. It seeks to promote inclusion, transparency and informed participation to make evidence-based decisions and avoid corruption. Through a decentralized governance model, quadratic and rating voting mechanisms, openness in its operations and continuous evaluation, the foundation seeks to take advantage of the diversity of perspectives and knowledge to address climate change effectively.

Before you begin writing a formal DCIP, you should vet your idea. Ask the Decentralized Climate Foundation community first if an idea is original to avoid wasting time on something that will be rejected based on prior research. It is thus recommended to open a discussion thread on the [DCF forum](https://forum.decentralizedclimate.org) to do this. Before you begin writing a formal DCIP, you should vet your idea.
