In this Valley Immersion, we deepen our learnings from the Climate Change Mountaintop, uniting our thinking faculties with 'heart and hands' – communities of place – to explore climate change and its impacts on Sabah. We disperse as small teams into key representative landscapes to share climate study findings and engage in discussion to understand grassroots realities; grounding with the intention to learn from communities' lived experiences, ground-truth the top-down science models, and grapple with complexity to co-generate possibilities for adaptation approaches and measures.
