You know, they used to say denial ain&#8217;t just a river in Egypt. Here we are in Egypt and despair ain&#8217;t just a tire in the trunk. It&#8217;s a real factor.

And then in October, just days ago, the people of Brazil made a decision to stop destroying the Amazon and start fighting the climate crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When people feel vulnerable to climate despair, I urge them to look at the real progress that is being made.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whenever United Nations environment chief Andersen feels down in these meetings she takes note of what&#8217;s happening all around her in the pavilions and offices: &#8220;In these halls, you will see people huddling over solutions over networking, saying &#8216;Here&#8217;s what we did.
