Judge 1: The authors have clearly articulated an important problem with reaching local and indigenous groups with plans for climate change mitigation and adaptation and have (partially) proposed an exciting, interesting solution that is low-cost and potentially very motivating. However, the proposal is not completed. There is no information about budget; geographical area of interest; details about how this plan would be carried out or how information would be shared between communities and global stewards. I have therefore rated feasibility low, not because I don't think the project is feasible, but because the authors have left me to guess at how they will carry out this project, and therefore also at the feasibility.
Judge 2: The main objective is of critical importance to successfully addressing both CC mitigation and adaptation globally. However, the proposal is poorly written and presented, verbose and repetitive in problem statement outline but lacking in crucial details as to how it will be implemented, costs, expected impacts etc. It is worth requesting a re-submission, but the proponents need to address the failings and provide evidence that they understand and are able to successfully implement the actions they outline. it is not just a lack of engaging with civil society which has led to previous failure in this field, but a lack of understanding how to engage! This includes, cultural, political, financial, language, context, geography, attribution, incentives, etc, etc.
