Hi Justin,

How are you getting on with this publication? I have been looking into the Cultural issues that cause climate change, I wondered whether the contributors to your book might consider supporting an idea that I have come up with of a Universal Aspiration to be ratified by the UN? There are more details in the petition https://secure.avaaz.org/community_petitions/en/the_united_nations_a_universal_aspiration_to_reinstate_ecological_balance/

I have also worked on a more ambitious idea to suggest that we should challenge some of the UN Sustainable Development goals, specifically goals which do not take into account the ecological limits of our Earth. I have suggested a rewrite for SDG 8, my proposed replacement for SDG8 specifically addresses ecological overshoot. The proposed SDG8 is on https://poemsforparliament.uk/sdg18
Contact me on bw@poemsforparliament.uk if you are interested in this angle for your book. I would be happy to give an opinion on the COP26 book. I have self-published a book myself, it is called ‘Saving Us From Ourselves – Can we repair 50 years of ecological overshoot?’ and it is free to download from my website: https://poemsforparliament.uk/sufo

Best wishes
Barbara Williams
