A consistent thread across all three convenings was not the absence of solutions but their lack of visibility to….
Many solutions are already working but they are not connected to the capital, policy, and narrative infrastructure that would allow them to scale.
Participants called repeatedly for a global repository or database of what is actually working and a matchmaking mechanism for funders and implementers that bridges philanthropy, civil society, and government. The open-source platform mapping women as architects of change was ranked among the highest feasibility initiatives the Compact could drive forward. The path is clear: making solutions visible is a strategic intervention.
"It became clear that pregnant women must be central to conversations about extreme heat and climate adaptation — not an afterthought or a sub-category — if we seek to build a future with inclusion and health-for-all at its core."

MAKING SOLUTIONS VISIBLE
WHAT THE CONVENINGS SURFACED
At Skoll World Forum in Oxford, the Dancing with Systems format demonstrated that how you design for participation shapes what emerges. Multiple participants noted that the movement-based, peer-to-peer structure changed not just the energy of the room but the quality of their thinking. Project Dandelion's convening approach, grounding events in frontline stories, designing for movement and relationship, ending with music and energy, was named as a model worth documenting and replicating.
At Women Deliver in Naarm (Melbourne), the matchmaking idea surfaced across virtually every discussion group: funders and implementers need a structured mechanism to find each other, and the current system does not
provide it. Perimenopause and heat entering mainstream conversations was named as an unexpected but significant communications opportunity, along with a recognition of heat impacts among women creating a shared identity and demand base that the Compact can activate.
At the Project Dandelion Convening in Nairobi, the CHW Visibility Media Campaign emerged as the most supported initiative in the room. The argument is simple and devastating: community health workers deliver vaccinations, save lives, and hold communities together. Making that labor visible to funders and the public, in high-production formats spanning documentary, digital, billboard, and TikTok, is both a moral act and a capital mobilization strategy.
