Movement

Do you feel hope or despair after COP26 in Glasgow? I choose hope, and here’s why. The 1.5C ambition remains clearly in focus, climate justice is on the table and the world agreed to reduce fossil fuels. There were also multi-stakeholder agreements on deforestation, methane, coal, fossil fuels, clean energy and finance. These are clear signals and actions that reinforce one another. That’s how complex systems change, by creating virtuous cycles of positive feedback loops, accelerating transformation. We are not out of danger; far from it. But COP26 just turned decarbonisation from an elite sport into a global movement.
