Overview

Thank you for participating in Multisolving Institute’s Seed for the Future Dialogue Phase 1. We are honored to share this work with you and create a space of shared learning.

Please note this event page includes links to register for 1 of the 5 available sessions in phase 1.  Each dialogue date provided will be a replica of the others; we require that you only sign up to attend one event per phase. Each session is limited to 10 spots, so select the date and timeframe that best accommodates your schedule.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Kelsi at kbowens@multisolving.org.

Thank you for being part of this learning journey!

Good To Know

Can I register for more than one dialogue session?

No, each session will offer the same content, therefore we want to ensure that as many invitees as possible have an opportunity to join one session.

The remaining dates available do not work for my schedule. What should I do?

Please email Kelsi so we can determine if we can accommodate an additional spot in the session.

How do I prepare for a dialogue session?

Simply show up ready to share your thoughts and listen to others. There’s no advance preparation required. We’ll provide all necessary materials and prompts during the session.

I can only attend a portion of the dialogue session. Am I still eligible to receive the honorarium?

While we understand life happens, we also value how quickly time can pass in virtual settings. Therefore, in order to receive the honorarium, you must stay for the full time that we are together for a dialogue session.

That opened a new front of research at Climate Interactive: what else would improve around the world if countries truly transitioned away from fossil fuels? From improvements in air quality to energy security we documented many co-benefits of climate action, and incorporated some of them into Climate Interactive’s well known computer simulation, En-ROADS.

But, the multiple benefits of actions to protect the climate remain mostly theoretical without ways of overcoming the obstacles to multisolving. That’s why, from the beginning of our work we have collaborated with others to understand the bright spots of multisolving around the world and to pilot multisolving approaches. First in Milwaukee in partnership with the Milwuakee Metropolitan Sewerage District and then in Atlanta, with Partnership for Southern Equity, we began to see what was possible by bringing the different parts of a system together in pursuit of actions and investments that lifted up many goals at once.

From this action research, along with a series of case studies of multisolving projects, we began to see attitudes and approaches that are in common across a wide diversity of multisolving projects, a topic we wrote about in Stanford Social Innovation Review.

Then came 2020. Pandemic. Escalating climate change impacts. Dire warnings about biodiversity loss. And more and more folks connecting the dots between each of these issues and structural inequity. Invitations to write, speak, and teach about multisolving came fast and furious and with it the possibility that what we’ve learned from multisolving bright spots could help support leaders around the world to respond to crises with multisolving. That spark led to the launch of the Multisolving Institute and our mission of supporting leaders as they pursue multisolving approaches
