The project was started by Marie-Claire Graf and me at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. A year of preparation was needed to set things at pace.
Currently, we're taking it slow. Our idea has been invited by MIT Press, and hence we are pushing to produce a book proposal first and see where it'll take us. The whole project is ambitious.
In November 2025, I was in Belém, Brazil - for the COP30 UN Climate Conference as an advisor to the Youth Negotiators Academy. We had more time to brainstorm. I was able to personally meet a few of the young negotiators who showed interest in becoming key researchers and authors in this project.
