Okay, so here we are at the end of your second course in climate change and health adaptation. And I really want to take this time to focus on what you have done to date and what that means in general for climate change and health adaptation. And so I like to think about this as amplifying our work. So you've seen this before. We're very much on this steep slope of infancy in terms of the developmental stages of climate and health adaptation. And there were going to be times where it feels like the slope is very steep and that you might start falling backwards. But I just want to reiterate how important it is that we continue to use our networks and momentum to start getting towards a more developed state and maturing our understanding of the work that is involved and required to address this very large, very serious, very present problem of climate change. We are seeing the impacts now. So the adaptation is happening now. We can do a lot, as the adaptation practitioners, to expedite and to move forward the field and our understanding and knowledge about what works and what doesn't work. There's a lot at stake here. So let's just keep that in mind when things start to get really tough. So let's say let's think back to our example that we have or the adaptation action that you created since we're in this infancy stage. You started off with your plan. You simulated your implementation and you thought about how you might improve that. And so let's just think through what that might look like as you move forward. So you improved it. And so you decided that you're actually going to come up with another adaptation action. And it's similar, it builds on what you had in the first. And you go through the process of doing your improvement and your planning and your evaluation stages. And this continues and it continues on as we work towards maturing the field of climate change and health adaptation. And so what happens as that maturity progresses is that we actually start to reach more people. And we get better information so that we can be more effective in the work that we do. So I said before that this has all been designed to help us work smarter and more effective with time. The timescale, it might feel a little bit long right now. But if we continue on this course of doing systematic climate and health adaptation and tracking and documentation and reporting out, we are going to do some really great things for the field of climate change and health and for people in general. And ultimately, that's what we're trying to get at. So you are now equipped with being able to take this with you wherever you might go. And so when I think about building up and out, I just want to bring us back to one of the earlier figures that we had in this course, which is the socio-ecological framework. And so in our infancy here in the field, we might be identifying certain adaptations that feel a little bit closer. And they're smaller and they're tighter and they're things that we can manage a little bit better as they relate to this spectrum, so ranging from the individual out to society. But the great thing is as we start gathering more of that information and we start magnifying, we also start to magnify our impacts. And it's not just on a scale of, The number of people that you save, but it's also across a variety of socio-ecological conditions. So this demonstrates really how important it is that the groundwork that we're laying out right now can inform what's going to be seen in the future.
