What would you like to know more about from our speaker?

jeffreyadillon1 — 2024-07-21 19:13:49 UTC

Maybe your question didn't come up in the Q&A, maybe we ran out of time, or maybe you didn't think about it until after some reflection. Post it here and we will followup for you.

What did the presentation make you feel initially and then upon firther reflection?

jeffreyadillon1 — 2024-07-21 19:13:49 UTC

Were you surprised? Did you learn anything new? How might you apply what you heard to your own climate change interpretation?

What were you hoping to hear from the presentation but didn't?

jeffreyadillon1 — 2024-07-21 19:13:49 UTC

If you were hoping for something specific, do you think you could find that with a followup for the speaker or ETS staff? Perhaps a member of the cohort did hear what you might have missed - it doesn't hurt to ask!

some Solutions links

sunitahalasz — 2024-07-30 19:44:35 UTC

I really think that solutions are the most palatable way to communicate climate change to diverse audiences. When we speak to groups we really stress, right from the get-go, the idea that Climate Resilience Planning = Opportunities (not obstacles).

I put some Solutions-related links in the chat that I have used with groups and I’ll post them again here:

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson's TED talk where she introduces the Venn Diagram to find "your climate action." I have done this as a share out workshop with multi-age groups related to workforce development. https://www.ted.com/talks/ayana_elizabeth_johnson_how_to_find_joy_in_climate_action?subtitle=en

Great Roadtrip Nation documentary to inspire youth with green multi-sector jobs ideas. Roadtrip Nation gives out Ayana Elizabeth Johnson’s Venn diagram to attendees at their screening events: https://roadtripnation.com/roadtrip/clean-energy-documentary

Solutions Game, made by co-founder of Project Drawdown, and uses their Table of Solutions – in a game! Instant learning. https://solutionsthegame.com/

And I’ll give another plug for The Wild Center’s Climate Solutions exhibit featuring people from our local area solving climate from their personal disciplines, cultures, and passions. Plus hands-on stem and steam activities and more. https://wildclimatesolutions.com/exhibit/

Social Cohesion as a tool

sunitahalasz — 2024-07-30 19:57:04 UTC

A great article to inspire community-based climate change solutions: "...socially cohesive communities in which people are engaged in social or civic events enjoyed increased resilience against extreme weather events."

This was a truly fantastic presentation. I appreciated Elizabeth's style and her very practical and approachable tools to communicate not only about climate change but about tangible actions that can be taken. The "every job is a climate job" really spoke to me and I plan to raise this as a discussion point with my leadership team. I was surprised and delighted by the amount of approachable and readily available information.

jmiller846 — 2024-07-31 11:29:16 UTC

I actually heard beyond what I hoped for. I have already discussed this presentation with 4 people. :) I am sending thinks to Project Drawdown to some professional contacts now.

jmiller846 — 2024-07-31 11:29:42 UTC

I need a little more time to review the resources to be able to answer this.

Undoubtedly a FANTASTIC Presentation

Elizabeth highlighted all the solutions possible in various ways for us to use in order to combat Climate Change and understand why it is important that "change" starts with us! I scoured the project drawdown website and from listening to her speak it gives me hope that every climate job has a part to play. Its important for all of us to know that and to know how to communicate it effectively.

defreitasm1 — 2024-08-01 15:51:55 UTC

This was everything I imagined and more I think alot of awareness needs to be brought to others about Project Drawdown so we can see how it fits in to our everyday life with our solutions. I wanted to hear more about how they relayed the message of climate jobs and solutions though.

Dr. Bagley's email?

WildRoseEd — 2024-08-04 20:08:19 UTC

Any chance we could get her email to follow up with her?
