301 - Facilitating High-Stakes Multi-Stakeholder Climate Conversations with Barbara Oliveira
When an island is sinking, whose responsibility is it to save? What approach do we take, and who foots the bill?
Big, high-stakes climate conversations always share the same goal: to save the planet. But when a diverse group of stakeholders bring their own interests to the table, tensions naturally arise between the polarity of priorities - and that’s when things start to get a little complicated.
Thankfully, Barbara Oliveira is a master at helping everyone to win. As a lawyer in a past life, she now seeks solutions to Wicked Problems in the climate space, harmonising the rigidity of formal negotiations with the softness of human connection and open exchange.
A thoughtful and motivating conversation, with lots to double-click on, muse upon and learn from Barbara.
