"That compulsion is bound to meet resistance and to be counter-productive. And given the current impotence and stalemate of the UN Security Council, such optimism comes across as naïve..." ((( It is naïve unless sufficient nations end the Security Council with a UN Mk2 )))
"... .Instead, what is needed is sound international leadership by those most responsible for climate breakdown, notably the US; leadership based on international cooperation and coordination, not compulsion. ((( Assuming that the US; goes with their normal compulsion and associated short termist voting requirements the situation gets worse fastest.
A radically changed UN could effectively win #DeliberativeDemocracy worldwide starting with the most local of #CitizensAssemblies as is increasingly found in Europe. How? Because they can he seen to work if not sabotaged by politics as normal. The larger the decision then the more important for proper security agency vetting of all participants. This might have a delay to its transparency? That allows people to step back away from transparency?
If the CAs are kept independent, transparent and binding (if CA decisions are not implemented then the authorities are perhaps not re-elected at next elections by democracy only)
It then works or not . If they don't then it's likely corruption of process hense the transparency... If it's a systemic flaw then it het fixed or people revert to politics as failing normal or move anew.
Previously the fixers of the UK Climate Assembly and Scottish Assembly where government contractors They made the decisions to who the "experts" to be listened to were.
To solve assembly members receive critical thinking training first. They her time to check their training and amend it. They then decide their own experts witnesses and government either makes it work or gets changed or not via democracy.
Business likes it because it's not short termism. Team Xi hates it because it's not short termism...
It also gets to make many more best decisions than top down structures because it's everyday people very many times over on normal pay
