ABSTRACT

Prevention and healing will be needed at every level of society because the personal, family, social, economic, and ecological problems everyone facing are all interconnected. Accordingly, entire communities must be engaged in preventing and healing distresses and traumas and in solutions to the climate emergency, and the best way to do this is to form a Resilience Coordinating Coalition (RCC). The RCC will need to coordinate numerous semi-independent initiatives that continually engage the different populations and sectors of their community in the five foundational areas. Effective leadership is required for any positive change to occur. The climate mega-emergency requires leaders who can motivate people to make deep-seated changes faster, and with more acumen, than ever before. One action that will help expand the number of people who embody the characteristics of a transformational leader is to establish “learning exchanges” around the world.
