A batch of the best highlights from what Ripert's read, .
A community is a group with a shared identity-forming narrative. This is different from the set of people who live in a place, or have a shared interest. A group of people waiting at a bus stop have a shared interest, but they are not a community. (Unless they’ve been waiting for a *really* long time…)
What Is ‘Community’ and Why Is It Important?

Er nennt sich ["Corresponding Adjustment"](https://allianz-entwicklung-klima.de/toolbox/corresponding-adjustments/). Der ist aber noch nicht im Einsatz.
Wenn Staaten ihre Emissionen an die UN berichten, müssen sie dann zusätzlich mitteilen: "Achtung, diese und jene Menge an Emissionsspeicherung oder -vermeidung wurde fremdfinanziert. Dafür wurden Zertifikate vergeben und deshalb muss das auf unsere Bilanz angerechnet werden."

Dirty air is still one of the world’s biggest killers. I flinch when I see images of Delhi or Beijing peeking out from a thick haze. My point is that these modern levels of pollution might seem unprecedented, but they’re not. That should be a relief: it’s scary to face waters that seem uncharted. The fact that the level of pollution in our old cities comes as a surprise to us is good news. It means we found a solution. We managed to clean it up.
Not the End of the World
