slowness of the pace of work and the deliberations of the COP process in face of the climate crisis. She also says, again rightly so, that the science of climate change is clear, hence the sluggishness of the decision-making process on climate change appears particularly striking. I am paraphrasing Dixson-Declève’s piece, but I think I have it right: we need to act yesterday, we know enough and the current process is not fit for the outcomes we need. If my reading of her piece is correct, I fully endorse her plea for a decision-making process that does justice to the urgent and determined action we must take: reversing the course of adverse changes in our life-supporting climate system.</p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-completing-the-puzzle-bridging-the-gaps-by-building-a-resilient-future-through-science-missions-for-sustainability" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-for-a-safe-and-prosperous-future-for-all-we-must-bring-focus-onto-the-global-commons" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg" data-image-dimensions="853x853" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="For a safe and prosperous future for all, we must bring focus onto the global commons" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg" width="853" height="853" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/326108ac-b66b-4dba-85d9-620c59c6e37a/02_Jane+%281%29.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">8/27/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">8/27/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-for-a-safe-and-prosperous-future-for-all-we-must-bring-focus-onto-the-global-commons" data-no-animation> For a safe and prosperous future for all, we must bring focus onto the global commons </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>Are the climate talks and COP (Conference of Parties) processes failing humanity?
