COP26 went into overtime, and at 20:45 GMT on a Saturday night we are all grappling with what is finally being agreed Vs. all that was pledged, promised and committed.
Please expect a delay in delivering not just 1.5C, but also in delivering “your seat at the COP26 table - Part 3/3” as I drill down on what we need to know Vs. what is good to know. It’s always useful to take our time to differentiate between deliverables that will impact our lives and the noise that has been overwhelming.
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully it will be worth it.
Experts in geopolitics, economics, technology, and society delivering sharp, concise analysis on the forces shaping our world.
