As humanity continues to reckon with the impact of the pandemic almost two years after, climate negotiations are sitting in the corner for the past five years, bringing the world to an ecological, economic, and social tipping point. Global commitments are leading us to a path of 3°C of warming, far from the 1.5°C limit that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Reporturgently recommends. And while there is a global health crisis, there is also clearly a global climate emergency that threatens the balance of our household, the oikos. This is a call for a steadfast and hope-filled engagement in COP26.
