For example: https://padlet.com/solaimiriam/pvbmim3f2becrlx0/wish/1671894931 - Educating others : if yes, how much of a focus do we want to devote to this and, critically, who do we want to educate: those who are already with us, the 'messy middle', children, politicians... And what exactly do we want our education to be about: a stronger focus on equity, global rights, indigenous perspectives, adaptation, community resilience... 

- Mobilizing politicians

- Community building/adaptation and resilience planning
