The Systems Change Project

OS Oli SB Public Seen by 141

This is an idea for a collective experiment: Could we crowdsource, rank and possibly even price up, the most impactful systems interventions to avert the climate crisis?

Obviously, It's SUPER hard to manifest systems change - but there are leverage points and a load of existing ideas which warrant investigation and implementation if we are serious about averting the climate crisis. But where do we start? Which ideas and solutions are most practical, most plausible and will be most costs effective (in terms of time and money invested vs genuine change)? These are not things we can easily work out on our own...

Could a project which solicited 'systems change ideas' and invited feedback on these ideas, which ranked them (possibly using the ICE method, which analyses the Impact, Confidence and Ease of activities in relation to furthering the goal) into some sort of 'prioritization order' be of value to help us identify actions, activities and ideas for effective systems change, even if we lack the funds to implement them?

Perhaps, if we ran through this process it might stimulate other ideas or experiments, or even inspire others with funds to invest in the ideas...

What do you think? Do you have ideas or links to any systems change initiatives? Or shall we bury our heads in the (very hot) sand for another 30 years!?!?! (only kidding, that is not an option!)

Hi Oli. Would like to work with you on this if an option. Platform 6 has been working to organise a conference that will be run over two days (19th/20th I think) in Manchester and which is all about cooperating for just climate solutions. We're just about to go live with some more information and begin marketing the event proper. Scope for collaboration?
