Global South Climate Exchange
A proposed agenda for comparing local climate questions without treating different places as interchangeable. Explore how evidence, access and community priorities can shape a useful exchange.
A proposed conversation
The session, in outline.
Set the terms
Proposed opening: explain the difference between lived accounts, sourced evidence and fictional examples. Agree that nobody must disclose personal experiences or identifying details.
Start with a shared question
Use the platform's city heat guide to examine a question such as access to shade. Identify which details would need local evidence before comparing places.
Test an action idea
Explore a hypothetical request for a shaded waiting area. Discuss access, land responsibility, maintenance, worker needs and the limits of volunteer action.
Make room for difference
Consider what would change across languages, housing conditions, climates and public-service systems. Draft questions rather than assuming that one solution travels unchanged.
Leave with a next step
Write one evidence question, one possible public-service request and one issue that remains unresolved.
