At 1,300 metres altitude in Villars, Switzerland, 300 leaders from global climate NGOs and institutions are locked in intense discussions. The mood? Urgent. Unsettled. Realistic.
One senior voice didn’t hold back: “We are in an exponential horse race with sources of evil. And we are losing.”
Despite this, many companies continue their climate strategies, but silently. The phrase being used? “Green hushing on steroids.” The fear of backlash is real. The advice from the room: “Be courageous, but not provocative.”
But silence won’t solve the crisis.
The Global Commons Alliance is clear, climate and nature must now be directly linked to peace and security. System change won’t happen by playing it safe.
The call to action?
Rethink the narrative. Mobilise bold leadership. Break the mould. Move fast.
