As the world gathers at the annual Climate Conference of Parties in Egypt to discuss responses to the climate emergency, we ask, where are there ‘signs of hope’ in the climate talks and beyond–in action by cities, business, civil society and communities to bring about the rapid and just transitions so urgently required. How can action from above and below complement each other to drive transformative climate action?
