With starting today, we realise how much and how little can change in three years, when we as Wavemakers attended the COP last. People and positions shift, but the urgency of our climate goals remains.
Back then, we spoke with leaders about actions beyond the so called ‘blue-zones’, where all the decisions are made during (Climate) Conferences — And we called it ‘Out of the Blue’.
At the time, etten, then Minister for Climate, shared a vision of teamwork and collaboration. Now, with his party’s election victory and the prospect of new leadership for the Netherlands, there’s renewed optimism that words can turn into meaningful progress.
As COP30 begins today, let’s turn ambition into action and approach the climate goals like the Olympic Games; urgency, technology, clear goals and measurable results. And only through teamwork and shared effort can we make the next three years count.
Let’s get the action going zones!
