1. If climate change is beyond our control, what is the sequence of elements for a world plan to adapt?

2. How can we prevent our negative scenarios from becoming self-fulfilling and trigger better decisions instead?

3. How can a global energy-environment collective intelligence be implemented that will help turn around climate change?
