The show-and-dance around #COP31 is, quite frankly, embarrassing.
The COPs are supposed to be about collaboration, working together to figure out how we limit global warming to 1.5°.

“Shared responsibility” is a loaded phrase for Community Sector Organisations who often fill the space where government fails after disasters.
In this article we interview representatives from CSOs and find that “shared responsibility” is a 1/3
