Impact Advisory Group

Role and Purpose

The role of the Resilience Frontiers Impact Advisory Group is to provide high level independent advice to the Resilience Frontiers Initiative on how behavioral and communication tools can be positioned to support a global transition towards permanent resilience over the next decade.

The advisory group will identify leverage points in the global communications system, and analyse the relevant ways to help bring into existence new, widely held values about our relationship with nature and with each other that enable the paradigm shift towards a sustainable and resilient world.

The advisory board members may also play a role in supporting the work of the RF pathways through providing advice on storylines, pooling actions related to communication, and dissemination.

Members

The Resilience Frontiers Impact Advisory Group is comprised of executive-level behavioural change and communications professionals from a range of disciplines (film production and distribution, mass communication, data science, behavioral science, social norms).
