Imagine a discussion about climate change. The population of the state comes from various backgrounds, including a coastal town, a farming community, and an urban city. As they share their thoughts, it becomes evident that their perspectives are influenced by their unique experiences and backgrounds. The people from the coastal town emphasizes the immediate threat of rising sea levels, while those from the farming community discuss the challenges of changing weather patterns on agriculture. The urban residents focus on the
need for sustainable transportation solutions. Despite the shared topic of climate change, each point of view is invested in their personal experience and priority. What will help the residents and the state make decisions for where to invest
time and money?
