Invoking the Pause

Supporting Climate Challenge Trailblazers

Hundreds of individuals have participated in Invoking The Pause since 2008. They come from a broad range of fields such as the arts, education, natural resources, communities and resiliency, science and technology, policy, and the new economy. As a result, networks have expanded, partnerships formed, and new climate challenge strategies have evolved.
