Now that Edgar is back in Washington, what's next for movement leaders who went to COP27, such as those in the It Takes Roots coalition? How do international agreements at the COP affect what national, regional, and local governments do in the name of responding to climate change?Jill and Edgar discuss the concept of "loss and damage," one of the provisions of the negotiated agreement released at the end of the COP. They also discuss the location of COP28 in 2023—Dubai—and how these locations seem intentionally chosen to limit civil society and the environmental justice movement's abilities to participate in the COP, influence proceedings, and build connections with local communities.Ultimately, Jill and Edgar agree that there is a strong need for a People's COP, or Counter-COP, for frontline communities, and that the real power rests in the hands of those who are resisting capitalism and creating change.Recorded on November 22, 2022.
