The overarching process of Activating an inclusive ecosystem for change is at the heart of the Climate Transition Map approach, and is intended to expand and gain more momentum during each iteration (or turn through the Map). Learn and Reflect process with an inclusive activation of your local ecosystems is key to support and enable a strong Climate City Contract.
To enable and facilitate the collective sense-making and cross-learning by an inclusive activation of the ecosystem for change can be an empowering force, as different individuals, organisations and communities can work together and collaborate radically. Well-connected individuals and communities can also build alliances, partnerships and can form larger and more powerful networks of impact.
