Related Efforts (and page for this on the site)

[rufuspollock]

Want a page on the site/wiki about related efforts and their status.

Job Stories

When building this directory and project i want to know about existing work that we can learn from, collaborate with, build on etc so that we maximize our efficiency and impact

When coming across this project I want to know what other similar projects there are so I can check them out to

When coming across this project (and knowing about similar ones) I want to know if they are aware so that I know they are not duplicating inadvertantly

Acceptance

Tasks

Research

• [ ] #160
• [x] Compile a list of the related projects we want to include on the page

Design

Who/what is this page for

• Turn material into a blog post(s)? (e.g. 4 most interesting) ... => content "marketing" of a kind
• Publish our existing notes (so can be found)
  • Build credibility for our mapping and field-building efforts by demonstrating awareness of similar and related efforts
  • Learn from existing similar and related efforts so that we're not unnecessarily trying to reinvent the wheel, but build on existing work

Future / Later

Distinguish two categories:

• Similar ecosystem maps, e.g. Gaianet, Catalist,a Mindset for the Anthropocene
• maps/DBs of related ecosystems, e.g. Global Atlas of Environmental Justice?
• resource libraries on related topics

A Mindset for the Anthropocene (2016-2021?)

https://www.ama-project.org

Welcome to the AMA Project, a platform for catalyzing synergies between inner transformation and sustainability!

Through our interactive database you can explore the global network of People, initiatives, organizations, publications and other resources that link the cultivation of subjectivity with efforts for the socio-ecological transformation.

We hope you find inspiration and valuable connections! Initiated by the IASS Potsdam

The AMA Project is a transdisciplinary research process initiated and hosted by the IASS Potsdam a government funded German sustainability research institute and think tank.

NB: we have had some contact with the organizers of this project and it may be coming to an end now.

@rufuspollock can we make this into a fixable issue or (file somewhere and) close as invalid?

[rufuspollock]

@catherinet1 this should become a page in the wiki on the site asap. I should also add the other efforts i came across in that massive twitter thread https://twitter.com/rufuspollock/status/1501160815277318146

PS: renamed issue to reflect this greater purpose.
