The CLEAN NetworkA First Step to Enabling
Collective Impact
CLEAN and Collective Impact
• Large-scale COLLECTIVE IMPACT is needed that integrates effective climate literacy efforts for teachers and students as well as all decision-makers who need to address the implications of climate change in their decisions.
• Evidence suggests that achieving Collective Impact requires 5 conditions (Kania and Kramer, 2011)– Common Agenda– Shared Measurement Systems– Continuous Communication– Mutually Reinforcing Activities– Backbone Support Organizations
Kania, J., and Kramer, M. 2011. Collective Impact, Stanford Social Innovation Review, 9(1), 36-41, http://www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/collective_impact.
Collective Impact Partners/contributors need to – Develop a COMMON AGENDA, – Develop a SHARED SYSTEM OF MEASURES to track progress
and success, – Engage in CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION that facilitates
the building of the community of stakeholders, – Identify MUTUALLY REINFORCING ACTIVITIES that address
the common agenda and contribute to the measures of progress, and
– Have a BACKBONE SUPPORT ORGANIZATION that can engage and coordinate all stakeholders in addressing and implementing of these elements.
Through its activities, the CLEAN Network is providing, to varying degrees, the first steps toward establishing the elements necessary for enabling successful COLLECTIVE IMPACT in addressing climate literacy and associated societal problems resulting from climate change.
