ISeeChange
Connecting people to their changing environments and developing solutions together.
How does it work?
We believe that all the best ways to solve problems begin with listening and learning. We’re often very removed--physically and mentally--from our natural environment and even the infrastructure that makes our modern lives possible. ISeeChange aims to offer communities a way to build and celebrate relationships with nature, our cities, the people who study and manage them, and even each other. Sharing and dialogue are at the heart of these relationships; we’re proud to help build them.
Why is it needed?
Today, it’s almost impossible to separate our natural, built, and social environments. Weather and climate affect the type of infrastructure we build and how we live, work and play in our communities. While our social environment not only determines how those impacts are experienced, it also determines which voices are heard from when it comes to solving problems.
How does it improve life?
The changes we are facing can seem huge or even insurmountable, but every day, we are learning more about how to adapt to these changes and building the case to push for more actions to reduce emissions. The ISeeChange community is a great place to share the small and the big ways that you, your community, or other communities are mitigating or adapting to climate change.
