A dialogue with Dr. Elizabeth Sawin, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Climate Interactive, a nonprofit with a mission to help people see what works in addressing climate change and related issues like energy, water, food and disaster-risk reduction. Using the discipline of systems thinking, the team at Climate Interactive has partnered with major government policymakers such as the US State Department to help them assess and communicate their strategies concerning climate change. Climate Interactive has similarly assisted numerous nongovernmental organizations and businesses. This organization’s critical work has been featured in the New York Times, Live Science, the Mother Nature Network, the Washington Post and the Guardian. Most importantly, Climate Interactive has developed a robust series of interactive simulators and other experiential learning tools to help communities make progress on the global Climate Change challenges that face the world today.
