One of the key obstacles to individuals taking personal action to prepare for climate change impacts and disasters is that they may lack trust in the guidance they are given by authorities. Even the concept of "trusted authorities" is challenging because trust is obviously very subjective. In order to build a useful software solution that could encourage individuals to take action, we asked the Ontario Tech University students to help advance our understanding of this critical obstacle and its various facets. Led by Professor Marsh, the course explored these issues and obstacles in insightful and fascinating ways. They contributed greatly to our understanding and made numerous useful suggestions. They helped us gain a better understanding and definition of trusted authorities, introduced us to the concept of "trusted intermediaries", proposed different intermediary frameworks and tools, and began the definition of a trust framework based on Ostrom's principles for managing common pool resources. They even suggested the potential of blockchain technology to ensure the reliability of provided information as well as providing other practical recommendations that could be used to build an information portal for the public. Overall, the course produced an excellent evaluation of the issues, opportunities, academic research, and viewpoints. We feel we have substantially advanced our understanding of the role of trust in climate change solutions and provided tremendous value while delving into incredibly complex and sophisticated subject area. Highly recommended!
