This brilliant piece by Doha Mekki on the long and important relationship between antitrust and racial justice is well worth your time. Read, think on it, share.
It has become clear that constructive, supportive ideas developed some time ago on the international climate negotiations have been misinterpreted in today's context — so I want to make unequivocal our conviction:
The COP process is an essential and irreplaceable vehicle for supporting the multilateral, multisectoral, systemic change we urgently need. Now more than ever.
We are committed allies to and advocates for this process — and lend our total support to positive efforts underway to further strengthen it for the new era of implementation we are entering into.
As the UN, countries, and the groundswell of non-state actors have demonstrated — we all need COP29 to deliver the leadership that people, communities, businesses urgently want and need.
