We have a challenge before us. I have invested heavily over decades in engaging with the UN as a rational pattern and pont of influence. I no longer believe this to be the case. However much we might succeed in placing the truth before any given organization, the chances of its over-coming built in biases is slim to none. I have variously argued why this is the case.
Put simply there is zero capacity to absorb information in any collective sense. This constitutes a form of cognitive glass ceiling.
Hence my preoccupation with framing questions otherwise for other audeinces without getting locked intio marketing understandings of impact
There is a degree of strategic and cognitive paradox required to which various authors refer and I endeavour to cite,.
I recall decades ago the remark of a top UN official to me that It was impossible to move anything of signifiance throygh the decisions processes of the UN system. Hence an early piece of mine on The Art of Non-Decision-Making and the manipulation of categories.
But I salute your efforts. Do not give up.
As a further remark, the issue is the capacity for uptake of any new insight. Even presented on a plate, with a ticking bomb behind it, the capacity for uptake is far lower than we would like to assume.
This for me is the essence of the problem. Seeking greater impact by conventional means will not ensure uptake. People are overloaded with nio time or inclination to absorb new information
