Question from @fionaharvey.bsky.social about rise of populist politics.

@angelaisfranc.bsky.social says we need to force responses on climate from them.

"The Cop is finally showing it can be a place in which the transition away from fossil fuels can be openly discussed. You can’t put that back in the box.” Excellent behind-the-scenes account of the #COP30 endgame.
