Overview
Explore and identify the strategies that will cultivate and strengthen stakeholder engagement in climate adaptation change initiatives. Complete a stakeholder matrix to identify sources of support and actions that will enhance communication approaches. Consider the elements that contribute to authentic and genuine communication designed to advance climate adaptation initiatives.
Activities and Assessment
- Review assigned readings and resources for Unit 8
- Activity 1: Participate in Rightsholder and Stakeholder Engagement online discussion forum
- Activity 2: Complete Stakeholder matrix
- Assignment 1: Post Excerpt #3 from your Reflective Learning Journal
Activity 1: Rights holder and Stakeholder discussion forum
Complete the Stakeholder Matrix and post insights and a-has from completing the matrix. The stakeholder matrix is for your reference, and it is not intended that you post it in the discussion forum.
The matrix is designed to offer you insight and a sense of next steps with the stakeholders that are important to the success of change initiatives.
To the extent possible, list people by name(or initials for your own purposes), so that you are creating an accurate picture. Again, for your reference only. Too often, people complete this matrix at the level of department name, and miss the identification of potential individual ambassadors and champions as a result.
Reflection Questions:
- What did you notice?
- What did you learn?
- What are you curious about as you look at your stakeholders?
- Did you have any difficulty identifying next steps?
- What surprised you?
- How might you use this tool in the future?
- Is there anyone else that you could include that wasn’t initially listed?
By Wednesday post your initial substantive post to the Unit 8: Rightsholder and Stakeholder Engagement discussion forum
