Peek Counsel bridges international climate solutions to local problems. Bringing together expertise from the Global South and adapting it to conditions faced by marginalized communities in the Global North.
Our Process
Step One: Point of Convergence
Peek Counsel identifies a common development issue faced by communities in developing countries (Latin America, Africa, Asia) and marginalized communities (low-income, BIPOC) in the US.
Global South communities have created a plethora of innovative mechanisms that address poverty, climate change and development. Many of these innovative solutions can benefit marginalized groups in the US.
Step Two: Synthesis
Global South communities and marginalized groups in the US share a common struggle and yet are divided by inherent power imbalances due to history and geopolitics. In order to meet the challenges of the new era, such as the effects of climate change, a new path of cooperation must be forged between these two groups.
Peek Counsel matches partnerships based on mutual culture or geography and weaves together the strategies & strengths between them to create powerful partnerships that shape the future.
Step Three: Community Sovereignty Model
After the strategic partnership between all parties has been established, Peek Counsel assists in the implementation and execution of the transfer of knowledge, bringing international solutions and tailoring them to local problems. The goal is to unite two seemingly opposing communities and co-create innovative development solutions that promote community sovereignty/self-sufficiency.
What makes Peek unique?
Here is where most climate action takes place
Here is where Peek Counsel addresses the issue
A significant portion of today’s climate action addresses the symptoms of climate change, also known as climate mitigation. These steps are important, but without addressing the root causes of these events, solutions will be temporary and insufficient. Peek Counsel takes a two-prong approach, with an emphasis on diagnosing and treating the core.
