|---|---|---|
| Nature | Land, Water, Air, and Biology - the basics that sustain life; ecology & ecosystems which must adapt to changing climate | |
| Climate Science | Earth Science, Atmospheric Science, Oceans, and the physics that drives it; climate models and projections of impacts; how science is done out in the field; what we know (a lot) and what's still to learn | http://www.climatecentral.org/ |
| Food & Agriculture | Essential service of nature + climate, a bedrock of modern civilization. Agriculture depends on climate, so it will be changing. Carbon sequestration in soils. | |
| Health | Climate change intersects with human health through disease disruptions and weather extremes | https://www.epa.gov/climate-impacts/climate-impacts-human-health |
| Communities | How do people come together, make our compromises, support one another, especially on a local basis (place-based)? Cities and rural. Social structures that can be alternatives to neoliberal capitalism. Citizen science. Adaptation e.g. coastal cities and sea level rise | http://www.c40.org/ |

| Business | Economics, Startups, sustainability, capitalism | |
| Technology | Geoengineering, carbon sequestration; big data and civic media | |
| Energy | Fossil fuels (carbon emitting), nuclear, and renewable. Includes storage and the grid | |
| Transportation | aka Mobility - a key user of infrastructure and energy, a big business, with very specific technologies. Kinda like how Food & Ag is a very visible and important combo of Nature+Climate+Communities+Health... | |
| Infrastructure | All the rest of the built stuff. Roads, buildings, dams/levees, water systems |
