Final Recommendations:
The CoLab experiment has well over 1200 proposal in its current library of proposals. Many of those proposals can be integrated into this proposal at one level or another. Rarely is there a 'bad' proposal.
Often, within the proposals, the authors are asked to provide a list of related CoLab proposals to help the CoLab team develop some understanding of conceptual relationships and other information matrix issues. In this proposal, I would like to continue that effort and list other proposals, found just within this 'Alumni' challenge, which offer potential strong synergies if coupled to this proposal.
Beyond the proposal already mentioned above (Harnessing Gas Revenues to Build a Sustainable City in Bagamoyo), I recommend the follow proposals.
Supportive Network for Implementing the Global Climate Action Plan
Watershed Moments, Healthy Oceans Festivals & Direct Action
Franchised Microgrids for the Developing World Using Open Source Components
The net-zero ship: a revolution on the high seas
Migrate resources from fossils to CO2 life-cycle management and remediation
Alumni Group Solar Purchasing Campaign
using the oceans to modify climate
INSULATION: Data + Metrics + Communication = Big CO2 Reductions
MIT 2050 - ADAPT (Alumni Driven Adaptation Policy & Transition) Center
MIT Alumni Engage to Enact a Revenue Neutral Carbon Fee and Dividend
A modest proposal - what alumni (and anyone else) can do today
Wiki & #tags harnessing MIT alumni for society-wide sustainable development
Increase Hydrogen Fuel Cell Adoption Support Clean Energy Choices
This Alumni/SDM/VMS/CoLab Hybridization proposal is also being connected to the UN challenge (Anticipate, Absorb, Reshape Workspace) through the following proposal at that site:
MIT-A2R Hybrid Initiative: Addressing Environmental Governance of the Great Seas
The above UN challenge proposal is an attempt to not just combine the goals of the MIT Alumni challenge and the UN A2R challenge but to also highlight how those 2 efforts can find an initial mutual focus within the marine environmental governance space.
