Context
On December 3rd, 2018 delegations from all over the world convened in Katowice, Poland for the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, aka COP24. Their goal was to reach an agreement on the roadmap for implementing the Paris Agreement.
The problem was not only to reach a consensus among 190 countries, but the commitments made under the Paris Agreement were not sufficient to meet the target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C according to both the U.N. and the latest IPCC report.
To look for new strategies to fight climate change effectively, we engaged with industry experts, faculty and young people who were not afraid to ask critical questions, to look for a joint exploration to make 1.5°C limit possible.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Challenge
" Provide a space that brings together people who share the same concern for climate change and activate them to jointly explore tangible directions to make the1.5°C limit possible"
Our Approach
The workshop structure was influenced by Chris Ertel & Lisa Kay Solomon’s strategic conversations framework and is grounded in our understanding of climate change as an adaptive challenge situated in a complex context.
The core workshop was designed as a sprint around three purposes; building understanding, shaping choices and making decisions.
Furthermore, a primary in-depth research inquiry into the 'conditions for collaboration to leverage diversity' conducted by my research partner Sergio Venegas and me, helped shape my own awareness as a facilitator.
