In this week’s episode we look at the story of Joseph’s interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams and the subsequent plan to prepare for coming famine (ie. climate disaster) and how the plan was carried out. We discuss how the regime in Egypt was an authoritarian one, in which only one person needed to be convinced for large-scale action to take place, but that some strategies from Joseph could also be used to encourage grass-roots change. We spoke about the effectiveness of having actionable steps, direct communication with communities, exciting novel solutions, and the idea of doing something big.
