Hi John,
Dream.Org’s Green For All team was on the ground at the recent 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt.
COP27 is meant to find global solutions to a global crisis, and Green For All was able to show that embracing common ground can help us find equitable climate solutions. Our team also further deepened our knowledge on how to build a more efficient climate movement going forward.
Green For All made a splash at COP27, facilitating bipartisan conversations at the Building Bridges on Climate Change Summit, where we demonstrated to world leaders that only by working with unlikely allies and talking through disagreements can we find agreement and a path forward on implementing climate solutions.
Our Green For All team didn’t just teach, they also learned a lot about the state of the global climate movement, and left COP27 with three key takeaways:
- Climate change movements in the global North have a lot to learn from the global South.
- Climate change is a bipartisan issue globally and should be in the U.S.
- Public-private partnerships tied with community vision are necessary to finance climate and clean energy infrastructure in the U.S. and worldwide.
If you want to do a deeper dive into lessons learned from COP27, check out this handy breakdown by Green For All’s Sustainability and National Director Jessie Buendia.
In Solidarity,
— Green For All Team
