Kyla’s Call to Action for the Transformations Community:
I am very excited to be a part of the team working on a joint conference between the Earth System Governance (ESG) project and the Transformations Community (to be announced soon!). Our two communities share common goals even if we adopt different approaches to achieving them, and I am looking forward to this opportunity to exchange ideas and make new connections. I would encourage everyone to get involved in helping to make the conference one to remember, particularly through the Department of Magic!
