The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This is a landmark deal. The "loss and damage" fund aims at helping countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. For the first time, COP has listened to the voices of those on the frontline of the climate crisis. It's not enough, but it will help lead the way for the future and take the necessary first steps toward justice.

Establishment-critical narrative

COP27 failed. Shortsighted political leaders and a sense of apathy have delayed necessary action toward the most ambitious goals set in the Paris Agreement. It's now inevitable the world will surpass what scientists consider a safe warming threshold. Because of the failure in Sharm el-Sheikh, the only questions now are how much the Earth will warm and how many people will suffer.
