Words
At COP26, we will be inundated by a tsunami of words, as more than 120 world leaders put forward their plans and promises on climate action. It will be all too easy to say that their words are all just “bla bla bla” - empty rhetoric. But words matter. They are not actions, yet they are enablers for action, signals to business and citizens that big changes are coming, sooner rather than later. Biological systems are self-regulating and self-renewing – a characteristic known as autopoiesis. In social systems, networks of communication have the same function. Words amplify the urgency to act.
