LOVE this take from my friend and colleague Rama of @whoi.edu:

"Don’t scrap climate COPs, reform them" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Don’t scrap climate COPs, reform them
The world needs a more agile framework for climate action, but that shouldn’t mean abandoning a system that has worked for 30 years.
