Climate activism is focused on spurring top down administrative action to reduce net carbon emissions. This is vital to fighting climate change in the long term, but it is only part of what is required to transform our societies into sustainable crisis-ready communities. In addition to promoting climate neutrality, we need to facilitate grassroots community-level action where it is needed most: at the site of emerging climate crises.

·         Emerging climate-related crises include: [1] threats to agriculture and farming, [2] threats to lives and property, [3] threats to ecological and economic sustainability. There is currently no website for mapping these emerging crises and enabling people to respond to them with creative solutions. We propose to fill this gap with the Coalition of the Willing Catalyst System.

·         The Coalition Catalyst will be an open source/open access site for [1] identifying emerging climate-related problems, [2] proposing solutions to these problems, and [3] forming open project teams to action solutions. The site is framed by the film 'Coalition of the Willing', which outlines the mission of the site and the path of future developments.
