Reid 2025 - "Achieving Sustainability: Missing Links in Climate Solutions" - Symposium on Critical Dialogues on Environment, Health, and Sustainability.pdf

UN's Climate Convention Article 6 and Paris Agreement Article 12 emphasise six climate solution elements: climate change education and public awareness, training, public participation and access to information, and international cooperation on these matters. At COP26 (2021), Parties adopted the 10-year Glasgow work programme on Action for Climate Empowerment, prioritizing four action areas: 1) policy coherence, 2) coordinated action, 3) tools and support, and 3) monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. This presentation surveys progress to date, and ways forward, in light of recent scholarship on barriers to, and drivers of, climate solutions.
