Book Tour Stop with Impact Trust

This highly interactive session is designed to share practical tools and approaches that you can apply in your own work. We will aim to explore and share, collectively, how multisolving approaches are used in different regions and contexts to deal with the interconnected and intersecting challenges of our time. Attendees can expect:

  • case study discussions
  • small group work
  • opportunities to connect with others working to bridge divides for greater impact

 

Content will be from Dr. Sawin’s newly released book, Multisolving: Creating Systems Change in a Fractured World and feature FLOWER. This session, hosted by Impact Trust, is part of Dr. Sawin’s virtual book tour, where she shares the insights and practical strategies behind her approach to multisolving — an innovative way of addressing multiple, interconnected challenges with singular, unified actions.

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
