One of my favorite journalists, Bill McKibben, writes in: “It’s a fairy tale that world governments will fix our climate crisis. It’s up to us”, that the COP process, like COP26, is to be seen as a scorecard of governments being forced to change as a result of citizen power, not as “contests” between rival powers. Yes, civil society speaking truth to power is important, but we must also simultaneously cultivate greater wisdom in governments and accelerate thriveable innovation and transformation in business and finance.
