After 21 years of effort to establish the C&C principle, it is now widely recognized
as 'an over-arching principle' for 'Climate Governance' and UNFCCC-compliance.
Some compilations reflecting the provenance of and extensive support for this are here: -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'endorsements-page' is split-up by category into separate pages.
This reports both the volume and the diversity of attention C&C now receives. This is evidence, perhaps supporting claims, that C&C is now the most widely cited
and arguably the most widely and diversely supported model in the UN
negotiations
on climate change and the debates these have given rise to.
Pages are arranged with [and can be visited at] the category headings below.
There is some overlapping and these headings will become more diverse.
If you explore what's there, return here by clicking endorsements on the left. Site search to see if your C&C-related campaign or publication is already listed. If it isn't and you'd like that,
please make contact and let GCI know.
According to Chris Rose, ex Campaigns Director for Greenpeace,
10 factors have made it hard to campaign effectively ‘on climate’.
- Scientists defined the issue;
- Governments ran off with it;
- NGOs adopted secondary roles;
- The issue had no public;
- The media were left to define the issue in visual terms;
- Governments soft pedalled on the issue;
- Scientists led calls for education of the public;
- Many NGOs tried to make the UNFCCC ‘work’;
- Others tried to connect it with “bigger issues”;
- There was no common proposition.
He writes,
"only Aubrey Meyer father of
‘contraction and convergence’, managed to penetrate this remote citadel.
NGOs could prioritise climate change but they were stuck in someone else’s game."
Why Campaigning on Climate is Difficult: Chris Rose
NGOs were 'stuck in someone else's game'?
Chris could be right
about that, and its noteworthy that it is him saying that.
However, the comment
about C&C really says this : -
Once the need for UNFCCC-compliance is seen everything becomes clear.
It is obviously a
'shot-gun wedding' where 'climate-change' is the father with a loaded gun
and a stop-watch.
So C&C is obviously
the
only conceivable resolution, or 'common wedded-position'.

In organising the ‘GOAL FOCUS’ needed for UNFCCC-COMPLIANCE,
C&C ‘tunes’ IDEOLOGICAL NOISE to its TELEOLOGICAL SIGNAL.
