Islands of Coherence: Building Trust and Alignment in the UNFCCC Process

A collaborative event between the UNFCCC Secretariat and Collective Transitions during COP30.

A moment to slow down and sit with the question of how to renew trust across diversities of thought, towards more coherence for shared action.

This 45-minute interactive dialogue creates space for delegates, observers, and practitioners to pause, reconnect, and reflect on how trust, coherence, and collaboration — even across differences — can be deepened throughout the UNFCCC process.

Amid complex negotiations, geopolitical divides, and a global metacrisis, this session invites participants to explore how relating more fully to one another can create the foundation for meaningful and lasting climate action and care.
