COP 30 could be the ‘People’s COP’
This year’s conference is an opportunity to be remembered not just for new pledges or targets but for rebooting the relationship between citizens and the climate regime.

Of course the opposite set of fractal patterns is strong right now. But perhaps, in the way of complex systems it is creating and energizing its opposite a wave of fierce care.

A fractal thing I am sensing: a great desire to rest, to connect, to heal, to care and be cared for is rising up. It is felt individually, but also in cities (can a city be caring?) in economic ideas (can an economy have wellbeing as it guide?) in our relations with nature (can a river have rights?)
