COP
For some, the opening of COP26 – the global climate negotiations in Glasgow – on 31 October, Halloween, seems scarily apt. We face a nightmarish future if we fail to increase climate ambition and action by politicians, executives, and citizens. COP will bring its fair share of victories and disappointments, but I’d like to offer a systems thinking perspective. The COP process has all the hallmarks of the scientific principles of thriving. It is increasing complexity (meaning connectivity), circularity, coherence, creativity, convergence, and continuity. This is systems change in action, a virtuous cycle of positive reinforcing actions, nearing a tipping point.
