Today I attended a side event called Building a Spirt of Solidarity to Overcome the Climate Crisis<\/strong> where voices from various different sects shared ideas on how to build solidarity, overcome fears, and take responsible decisions to protect humans form climate change. Overall, it was excellent. The panel included someone from the IPCC, a previous negotiator, a UNFCCC official, an archbishop, a nun, and my favorite\u00a0Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, and Indigenous leader.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was an excellent event! There was good spirt in the room and some interesting points were made. Many of the panel members talked about reconnecting with your fellow humans and discovering a sense of service. There was also a lot of discussion about trying to find common ground and in listening to people who don’t have the same view point as you. This resonated with me a lot, especially when the negotiator was talking about approaching the negotiations with countries with very different priorities. She stressed that negotiator that you disagree with the most is the one you need to connect with the most and try to understand the most so you can think about the issues from their point of view, and that only then is real progress made. Hindou also discussed bringing a human element to the negotiations, and how she\u00a0views it as her responsibility to talk about the struggles of her people.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of powerful messages throughout the 1.5 h and I left feeling positive. I also introduced myself to\u00a0Hindou after the panel and shock her hand, which was a highlight of the day for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
