New project: Exponential View climate future

I’ve started contributing to a new collaboration that I couldn’t be more excited about. Azeem Ahzar and Marija Gavrilov have asked me to curate and summarize each week’s stories of climate change mitigation success and momentum for the amazing email newsletter Exponential View. It’s an amazing opportunity to work with information (as I like to do), in support of the sacred earth, in such a setting. If you’re unfamiliar with EV, and you can handle some heady big picture information about the fast-changing world, you should really check it out. The newsletter, podcast, and surrounding community includes some of the most impactful and interesting people in the world at the intersection of technology and society. Climate change has long been a focus there and it’s an honor to be curating that section of the newsletter as it shifts into a focus on opportunity, good news, and momentum. My discovery of the content featured there is made possible by research systems built with friends in volunteer efforts focused on climate issues. I’ll share more information about those in a later post. But I will tell you, they include all my favorites: Twitter lists, Custom Search Engines, and collections of RSS feeds! And more. I’m excited to use those tools in service of highlighting where we can find inspiration and put our collective energy toward the massively important challenge of climate change mitigation. I hope you’ll join the conversation about that and so much more over at Exponential View. And feel free to send me news about good climate work you are doing or leaning about. As John Hagel says of building communities, one great strategy is to seed, feed, and weed: let’s plant the seeds of what we want to see, feed what we want to see more of so that it can grow, and weed the things we want to get rid of. Not hard to see how that model applies to climate change mitigation!
