Scaling Up Ambitious Leadership: Learning by Doing for Strong Implementation Coalitions

State of implementation/results

• Project completed.
• The project has received broad acceptance across the involved countries, with new countries coming forward with interest. There is interest now in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and South Africa to use the project’s methodology to inform and implement in-country climate action programs and strategies in key sectors.
• In challenged Lebanon, the project’s methodology and findings supported planning processes, with engagement from academia and practitioners, and proposals to engage the project in the training of policy makers and youth negotiators.
• In South Africa, the project supported the Ministry of the Environment’s sectoral planning for Transport, providing modelling for the Food and Agriculture sector, including the narrative and sectoral pathways identified through the project’s methodology and process.
• The project used its findings to train young climate negotiators on how to relate long-term national aspirations and political interests to negotiation positions.
• The project engaged in university programs in architecture, engineering, political science, and philosophy in associated countries. It used its “good life” approach as a means to rethink practices and thinking in relation to climate.
• The project’s innovative artwork has delivered a number of items in response to country dialogue findings. This includes a graphic novel, illustrating the narratives of the project pathways towards a “good life” low-carbon, climate-resilient development, showing both optimal and dystopian outcomes.
