Sensemaking, Action, and Leadership Training (SALT) for Climate

SALT for Climate addresses a critical blindspot in climate action by focusing on conscious sensemaking as the foundation for effective climate initiatives. Combining climate research, human interior facilitation, and metatheories, it aims to heal psychosocial blindspots in current paradigms. SALT bridges the gap between climate policies and public perception, reducing polarization and stalled efforts. By providing specialized sensemaking and leadership training, it enhances climate leaders' capacities across emotional, social, and consciousness domains. This scalable approach complements scientific aspects, fosters public engagement, and aims to drive more effective, integrative climate leadership.
