Abstract From different integral framings the climate crisis looks radically different and its solutions also vary. As author and editor of a book on integral sustainable design, we each have 13 years of experience in the scholarship of applying integral thought. Recently, we have delivered numerous presentations on the topic of “Solving the Climate Crisis by Design.” This paper presents four different integrally-informed approaches for disseminating this scholarship and research to academic and crossover communities. Audiences in Lebanon, Scotland, Australia and USA consisted of design and construction schools, building science educators and a mixed audience at a spirituality and peace centre. Models included two dif- ferent multiperspectival “4-quadrant” approaches, a “Big-3” approach, and a format where worldview levels dominate. Each presents the problem of climate change and how build- ing and urban design can provide solutions. Presentation design and scholarship about this work are guided by an integral methodological pluralism (IMP) with reflective practitioner (Schön) and emergent learning (Darling) influences. We typically present a narrative of 40-60 minutes, informed by a scholarship history where an integral approach informs the content, the message, the structure of the talks, their delivery, and how we assess and improve this dissemination over time. We learned to only speak integral to integral, that much bad news activates a collective shadow, that pluralistic values and rational science miss the opportu- nity to enroll the pre-rational level and that a multilevel message is needed.
