Strategic engagement: we support and collaborate with scientists in generating, evaluating, and elevating equitable solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss. To spark collaborative action, we equip scientists with strategic and inclusive mindsets, support scientists and stakeholders to collaborate more effectively, and inspire a shared belief that together, we can co-create the conditions for people and nature to thrive. We leverage our consciously-woven network of relationships to engage a diversity of stakeholders and ensure our shared understanding is driven by science, informed by affected communities, and reflects the diversity of perspectivesnot just the views derived from those with historical power and privilege.
Visibility and outreach: we seek to expand the portion of the science community who see themselves as agents of change and compass as a leader and ongoing resource in science communication, engagement, and policy. We strategically engage with a diverse array of science leaders that reflect society as a whole, deepening existing relationships and making targeted efforts to build new ones that further our mission. By sharing and amplifying key perspectives from community leaders, policymakers, and diverse science leaders, we aim to shift the narrative on climate change and biodiversity loss toward solutions and collective action.
Scientist network: the compass network has been hand-built and strengthened for over 20 years. We develop and deepen relationships across and between scientist leaders who are committed to the well-being of people and nature. We aim to provide all compass alumni with an opportunity to join a supportive community, collaborate around a shared purpose, and access ongoing learning opportunities to further their engagement. The scientist network will serve as a platform for connection, a solutions incubator, and a model for a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and mutually supportive science culture.
