Description

We've removed the use of the term "stakeholder" generally from our materials following on discussions like this:
https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/post/why-we-shouldn-t-banish-the-word-stakeholder?postId=1a6b9631-56a5-416e-a796-86d6dfb30d87

However it features so prominently in the paper we read on ecological forecasting ethics it can't simply be avoided. It seems appropriate to add a brief discussion of the ethics related this term in the context of the lesson.
