Climate change / all change:
beyond COP26 – growing the ‘collective climatic intelligence’
So far the COP26 outcome seems messy and problematic – some positive signals on forests, finance and the ‘ratchet’ effect – along with greenwash and hypocrisy… as explored in the Climate-wise. pages
Whether progress is led by policy or business, civil society or citizens, there’s an urgent need for growing the ‘collective climatic intelligence’ – the capacity for collaboration in learning, innovation and co-production, right across the board.
The first step is to bring to the surface the ‘big bad world’ challenges – power, corruption, financialization, inequality, distrust and denial (to name a few). Then we have a better chance of real progress on the targets and transformations now promised by many governments – both to (a) get others to commit, and (b) to turn such promises into reality.
This workshop looks at the post-COP26 prospects for ‘collective climatic intelligence’, in transformative adaptation and mitigation. We demonstrate the Climate-wise toolkit , with insights on collective intelligence from the Deeper City (https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315765860
