Yet, the objectives set out by this event have never been so consequential for the future of our planet. We cannot afford to squander this chance. How can we turn the current crisis into an opportunity at this COP? What new alliances and objectives can we collectively set? This is what this series seeks to respond to. Our shared conviction is that a unity of purpose around the climate crisis is the best way forward.
