Multisolving practices & tools for Collaboration

Multisolving sounds great, but how does it actually happen?

By studying multisolving successes, we document how people work together to multisolve and how they overcome barriers to policy implementation.

We also practice multisolving by collaborating with communities in projects at the intersection of climate, justice, health, and well-being. We document what works and share what we are learning.

From our research and our practice, here are resources that can help your community or organization capture the co-benefits of mitigating climate change as well as distribute those benefits in equitable ways.

Research

The Power of Multisolving for People and Climate, TEDxSun Valley- Beth Sawin shows the audience that multisolving can limit global temperature increase to 2.0°C in the year 2100. But how does one multisolve, exactly? She gives examples of people multisolving around the world and explains how each of us can do the same.

Multisolving at the community level

Sustainable, human-centered infrastructure can deliver health, equity, economic benefits, and climate protection. But in communities with a history of fractured and inequitable decision-making, it can be hard to achieve this potential.

ATLANTA

In Atlanta, GA, we are working with Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE) to co-design approaches to infrastructure decision-making that benefit everyone in the long term.
