This session will engage participants in a deeply interactive capacity-building methodology to co-produce sustainability and disaster risk reduction experiments. The foundation of the method draws on empirical resarch - over 30 case studies and 100 sustainability practices in 6 countries - that mapped the unique and emergent unfolding of successful sustainability practices in organizations. This approach has been used to both better understand the trajectory an organization has followed as well to craft a forward-looking implementation strategy for the future.

The mural approach enables participants to:
identify and visualize specifc sustainability-oriented actions (both social and technical);
co-create the sequence of actions that lead to effective implementation;
reveal opportunities for potential amplification of the impact of the experiment;
map the ecosystem of actors within which the experiment is nested; and
develop collective strategies to better govern multi-actor sustainability transformations.
In this session we will present the transdisciplinary methodology, illustrate how it is being used by teams currently implementing experiments (particularly in Latin America and Canada) and work with session participants' ideas to generate unique murals. Ultimately, we seek to reflect on the mural and enrich its design through a multidisciplinary collaboration.
