This is a good discussion, thanks all. Yes I agree that visual approaches are very helpful in getting the message across. A great example is the work done by CALP in visualising the impacts of climate change in places like Delta (sea level rise) and the elsewhere for wildfire.

We used simple maps of Colwood showing where homeowners had installed solar hot water – a just do it tactic – and it helped council and residents to feel like something was actually happening.

I think it’s helpful to think about the four categories, but in reality a plan may contain a blend.
