What the climate world needs now
Today’s Instigator comes to you live from New York where we just wrapped up another Climate Week. I’ve been participating in Climate Week for years and always find it encouraging and positive.
This year was no exception. It was the biggest group yet of NGOs, activists, philanthropists, business people, and government officials—well-intentioned, smart people doing their best to address one of the greatest challenges of all time.
Climate Week is also a great opportunity to reflect and take stock. And as I did so amidst all the bustle, one front stood out for its lack of activity—the political front. Noticeably absent from all of the activity and discussion is the need to build a centrist majority coalition of voters to support ambitious climate policy.
