You’re not alone if decentralization and web3 is confusing. But, this technology is changing the way society interacts and behaves, and as nonprofit leaders, we have a unique opportunity to participate in this movement. Recorded from a live webinar by TechSoup’s Accelerating Makers team - for more like this and to join upcoming live events visit https://events.techsoup.org/public-good-app-house/ In this, our second session in our series for nonprofit leaders, expert speaker Jodi Callender will take a deep dive into decentralization and, more broadly, how blockchain and Web3 is changing society. She’ll answer key questions like: - How is decentralization bringing positive change? - How does blockchain enable decentralization? - What does the transition from Web1 to Web2 to Web3 look like? - What are the broader impacts of decentralization on civil society? She’ll also explain how the decentralized web is applied in industry and which foundational elements of society will be disrupted and rebuilt in more equitable ways. The session will cover the answers to these questions and more.

“Nature teaches us that our
work has to be nuanced and
steadfast. And more than
anything, that we need each
other—at our highest natural
glory—in order to get free.”

Before markets and states were the two
dominant systems through which resources
were coordinated, many social configurations
between humans, organisms, and minerals
existed. Shared grazing lands, water ways,
fisheries, irrigation networks, forests, springs
were commons. What happened to them?
-- Austin Wade Smith

NCVO - National Council for Voluntary Organisations

Julia Unwin, Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, shares insights from the Foundation's 'climate change and social justice' programme and reflects on the role voluntary and community organisations can play to ensure reponses to climate change are effective and fair. This keynote presentation was delivered at the concluding workshop of NCVO's 'vulnerable people and climate change' project on 19 February 2013: www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/vulnerable-people-climate-change You can listen to an audio-recording of this presentation online (starting on slide 5): http://archive.org/details/WhyWeNeedASociallyJustResponseToClimateChange

Preparing for Abrupt Climate Change: Building Civic Capacity and Overcoming P...

Matthew Nisbet

Over the past year, I have had the great opportunity to work with faculty and students at the The University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute and their NSF-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) – the first of its kind to focus explicitly on adaptation to abrupt climate change. Here is a short description on the rationale for the program, a joint initiative between the Climate Change Institute and the School of Policy and International Affairs at the University of Maine. The paradigm that climate change operates slowly and gradually shifted with the discovery of abrupt climate change (ACC), which refers to rapid state changes in the climate system that are either transient or persistent, and of variable magnitude. We now recognize that abrupt climate change is one of the greatest threats to the sustainability of human society and ecosystem services, yet economic and social systems are rarely designed for abrupt nonlinear environmental change. The Adaptation to Abrupt Climate Change (A2C2) IGERT is a doctoral training program for students in earth sciences, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, international affairs, and economics. A2C2 is designed to train the next generation of natural and social scientists to meet the critical societal challenge of human adaptation to abrupt climate change (ACC). In the Spring of 2013, I taught a week-long workshop for students involved in the IGERT program and other faculty and professionals at the University of Maine. Participants were introduced to research and strategies for more effectively engaging the public and policymakers on sustainability-related issues. The workshop also covered different schools of thought, modes of practice, and areas of research relevant to navigating the intersections among science, policy, and communication. The goal was for participants to gain an integrated understanding of the institutions, organizations, and actors involved in public communication and policymaker engagement; and the different roles they can play as experts, professionals and educators. In Fall 2013, I participated in a retreat for faculty, organizational partners and students involved in the A2C2 program. To generate discussion and small group idea generation, I presented a brief overview on communication challenges and strategies relevant to preparing for abrupt climate change. In my presentation, I focused particularly on sea level rise and other coastal impacts. I also created a web page and list of relevant readings and resources that I will continue to update. You can find the list at the link below. http://climateshiftproject.org/preparing-and-planning-ahead-for-abrupt-climate-change/

Rural Climate Dialogues: Developing a Citizen-Based Response

nado-web

Rural communities are at risk to be disproportionately affected by the direct impacts of climate change and by efforts to mitigate climate change. Learn more about the Rural Climate Dialogues, organized by the Jefferson Center and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, which use the innovative and time-tested Citizens Jury method to bring together a microcosm of the community to generate a shared community response to climate change and extreme weather events. Learn how the process has depoliticized climate change, connected climate policy with rural economic development concerns, empowered three rural communities forward to address their unique concerns, and identified cross-agency opportunities for improving programs and policies to better enable local governments to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
