Important comment in Nature: Paris taught me how to do what is necessary to combat climate change by Christiana Figures.
The key message: you need to present and demonstrate optimism - that's a 'contagious' mindset and leads to effective decision-making. Now we all move away from confrontational blaming and towards shared opportunities. To quote: "Optimism is about acknowledging difficulties - and losses - yet still designing a better future.
Sure - that all sounds a little naive, but maybe not: maybe this fundamental trait of leadership and negotiations is applicable not just for finding realistic and pragmatic climate change solutions, but also for issues such as those that we are having right now at Westfield State.
