There is a "Secret Sauce" to accelerate Climate Action - crucial in our climate emergency.

Here is an initial list of a few key ingredients for the "Secret Sauce" to help communities respond accurately and rapidly, based on research and trial-and-error around the world across millennia:

1) Create Climate Action teamwork, with an emphasis on youth partnerships at every stage
2) Focus on best available wisdom when responding to climate emergencies, drawing upon both traditional and cutting-edge solutions
3) Take great care to measure, analyze, and report on outcomes to refine #ClimateActions
4) Cultivate inter-generational teamwork

We have created local teamwork starting with these ingredients in our community and hope to inspire others!
