Four of the international participants shared with us some thoughts on why they are going to COP30 and their hopes for their time there.
Carolin Fraude
Germany
My purpose for attending COP has several dimensions: First, being there in person is the only way I can truly understand how the process itself is evolving, and especially how the thinking of the various 'actors' is developing. The mindset of the "COP family" has changed significantly over the years and has opened up to deeper ethical and spiritual questions, among other things.
Maureen Goodman
UK
I have been attending COP since COP 26 in Glasgow. Each COP has its own challenges. "Despair is not a strategy" was a wake-up call to adopt 'stubborn optimism'. I feel the Brahma Kumaris are there to give hope. Hope is often described as an action and India One (solar energy) and Sustainable Yogic Agriculture are hope in action.
Sonja Ohlsson
Denmark
My purpose in going to COP is to create spaces for reflection, hope, and human spiritual connection amidst the intensity of climate negotiations. I hope to inspire others to see that inner change and outer action are deeply linked, and that meditation can renew our resilience and compassion.
Golo J. Pilz
Germany
My purpose in going to COP30 is to help create awareness and bring a sense of hope, resilience, and compassion to people at a time when many feel overwhelmed by the climate crisis. The crisis is also a chance — an opportunity to rethink our values, to live more simply, and to act from a place of care rather than fear.
