Of great interest... but Hakan, two quick (perhaps semantic) queries:

* why "Global North"? (I'm writing from a northern suburb of 
Johannesburg which as you recall from all your great work here is Global 
North; but I don't see my carbon-abusing compatriots here, nor others of 
the BRICS whose elite negotiators were so co-responsible for wrecking 
climate justice opportunities at the COPs); and

* why "climate action" when that phrase has always signified a more 
conservative (and less activist!) approach to politics than climate justice?

Cheers,
Patrick
