The book is a collection from 18 authors who comprised the Integrative Peacebuilding Project, a multi-year initiative of collaborative research and generative dialogue, now housed at U. of Ottawa. The connecting theme is a deep dive into Complex Adaptive Systems theory and practice for meeting the unprecedented global challenges that face us now. My chapter is the concluding chapter--about the climate crisis-- titled "Sacred Diplomacy as The Adjacent Possible Praxis: Transforming Peacebuilding to Meet the Challenges of a Warming Planet." <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 9:43 AM <<a href="mailto:thompnickson2@gmail.com">thompnickson2@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p>Merle,<o:p></o:p></p><p>Is this man a member of your ”pod”?
