The Great Pause Week 88: Lucid Water and Lush Mountains
cooldesign.substack.com
When the COP concluded in Glasgow it had given coal a pass for the next 40 years. In the days following the close of the 26th meeting of 200 countries to reverse climate change, I am still trying to understand what went wrong and whether it can be corrected. Extinction Rebellion, the Sunrise Movement and others are asking themselves, as they should, whether their strategies and tactics are adequate to the task. Other movements started by activists in the 90s continue to grow, iterate, and cross-pollinate: the Great Green Wall; ecovillages; transition towns; ecocities; ecosystem restoration camps. As Lennon said, “You say you got a real solution/Well, you know/We’d all love to see the plan.” But then we need to ask ourselves if any of these plans has the speed needed.
