The FONDATION USM Futures Lab is a new initiative launched in 2024 with the mission to explore, envision and advocate for possible futures that will create a positive impact on our world. I was invited to respond to a brief focused on the future of climate governance. The Department for Communities in Climate Transition (DCCT) is a modular governance model that aims to address climate change at city, rural, and island scales and all the ways in which regions can collaborate to strengthen climate action. The DCCT integrates social services, arts, and community-led initiatives into climate governance, focusing on inclusivity, resilience, and adaptability. DCCT imagines a governance model not only focused on reducing carbon emissions and creating green infrastructure but also considers new initiatives focused on climate grief counselling, participatory budgeting, repair programs, and cultural preservation in climate adaptation. My research culminated in a policy report produced with Corbin LaMont.
