I’ve had the joy and privilege over the last year to work with exceptional teammates.

I’d like to share a few examples of people doing exceptional work in support of climate change mitigation:

• The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health is a shining example.
• My colleague Ed Maibach has written a concise, clear example on environmental messaging being, “Easy, fun and popular.” I love it so much. I want to see this messaging reflected in all of the environmental communication going forwards.
• Al Bandura‘s insight that we can use iterative goal setting as a tool to improve efficacy inspires me. By setting proximal (short term) and distal(long term goals) and periodically reevaluating our successes will help us achieve all of our mitigation strategies.
• Max Boykoff is guiding us on using comedy to improve the cultural normalization of mitigation solutions.
• RepublicEn is supporting stories of bipartisan collaboration for creating clean, renewable energy.
• Climate Matters regularly provides content on the relationship between weather and climate.
• Toby Deml’s Cinema of Change Project improves collective efficacy among social change filmmakers.
• Debra Safer is building support for entertainment-education from Stanford.
• Mark Jacobson at The Solutions Project for improving the cultural normalization of climate solutions.
• John Balbus coordinating the National Climate and Health Assessment and Jay Lemery for writing Enviromedics, both providing examples of how climate change is affecting human health right now.
• Bill Ryerson continues to create stories for positive social change globally.
• Summer Marsh loyally helps me figure out everything else…
• Tom Parkin is jumping in to make a trailer to help visualize climate communication as a comedy.
• Liberum Donum translates my stick figures into beautiful concept art for sharing the stories that are a compilation of everyone above’s research.

I’m grateful to have skilled teammates as collaborators. Please take a look, share and build teams of your own. If you want to learn how, Ed’s paper is a great place to start.
