Now we need to engineer behavioural change

Back in the Green zone for a bit of poetry. Peaceful, restful music enabling us to chill, but outside the heat is on, yes the sun is shining in Glasgow, but activists are becoming more vocal, security more edgy, and crucially in the Blue zone discussions are drawing to a conclusion – the heat is on to keep our world below 1.5°

Listen to the river, to the photosynthesis, the beginning of life
listen to the river, its twists and turns, its race and its stillness
listen to the river, polluted, diverted, used and abused
listen to the river, still flowing through it all, despite it all.
Listen to the river, local biodiversity, close to each one of us.

A transition to a diversified renewable energy matrix – hydroelectric, biomass, solar and wind from 5% in 2013 to 97% now – shows what is possible, with new jobs and engineering opportunities.
The future – electric cars and electric public buses, plus green hydrogen (not blue hydrogen – which definitely isn’t green)

Today we are part of the People’s Summit – the gathering of activists
Language loss and later Green New Deal
after that we make our last visit to the Green Zone – the government more corporate side of COP – more official but less representational

Interesting to hear debate about language removed from the nationalist/unionist Ulster-Scots/Irish political baggage and inner prejudices of my Northern Ireland upbringing

System change – not just climate change – is needed
The scale of the crisis need temperatures below 1.5°C rise
but also justice and equality

Retrofitting of housing is needed to support the working class

‘you are right about what you say, but nobody cares’

How can we get the world, everyone, every structure, every community, to care – how can we care?
