In the final episode of our American Climate Futures miniseries, a special edition of the Futuring Podcast, Ksenia Benifand [Senior Principal Change Designer, Forum for the Future Americas] sits down with Susan Kruse [Executive Director, The Community Climate Collaborative] and Zach Lou [Coalition Manager, California Green New Deal Coalition] to investigate how building intersectional multi-stakeholder coalitions can accelerate just climate solutions.
Tune in to hear them discuss the importance of always showing up in support of others’ work, how regular constant feedback and iteration can strengthen collaborations and the significance of weaving in joy and resilience into movements and partnerships. How do we ensure that we meet people where they are to co-create opportunities and a shared understanding? What can we do to identify and establish the common ground needed to collaboratively take action on climate justice?
