In this summer of climate extremes, one thing is clear: we are collectively stuck in a climate paradox. Momentum to seriously address the climate crisis appears to be accelerating, yet top line indicators linked to global GHG emissions, environmental degradation, and social inequity continue to worsen.

For three years, I have surveyed green economy practitioners for their input on how we might resolve this climate paradox, and my new essay published today presents some of their innovative ideas. Click here to access the essay published on the Illuminem sustainability platform.

As you will see, this surveying revealed many new approaches to unlocking a 2020s green breakthrough: from reimagining the COP, to prioritizing “tipping point” green technologies, to new types of sustainability compliance mechanisms and free-trade agreements.
