For yet another year, the world’s conference on climate change—COP27—concluded with few agreements and a clear division between North and South.
The conversations to reach effective consensus on key questions in the fight against global warming and other effects of the climate change will have to wait for a new edition of the COP, scheduled for November 2023 in Dubai.
That might make us consider the factors that contribute to this deadlock, so dangerous, in the progress of the negotiations. Some obvious answers are that those most responsible do not show a clear political will to solve the problem, and that not enough effort or money is dedicated.
But there is another less obvious factor that also contributes to this.
The lack of agreement is a very frequent situation that happens in a diversity of real life scenarios, for instance climate change conferences as the one mentioned above, but also in the political arena where we rarely find major parties coming easily to a consensus on sensitive topics.
Reaching an agreement is a difficult task, especially if it involves large groups of individuals with a diversity of opinions, tendencies and interests. We have now an explanation for this, based on the scientific modeling of opinion dynamics in social systems, which incorporates two key ingredients:

In the last few years, international cooperation has become more important than ever. With the growing global climate crisis, the need for urgent and unified action to protect the planet is becoming increasingly important. One way to reach this goal of global agreement is through cocktails, the perfect recipe for success.
Cocktails are a great way to build understanding, break down barriers, and start a conversation. From political parties to professional events, cocktails create a welcoming, sociable atmosphere that encourages discussions among individuals and nations. A varied selection of mixed drinks allows for the development of friendships and greater understanding of foreign cultures. The casual and friendly atmosphere helps to initiate conversations on complex and sensitive topics that can open the door to negotiations and agreements.
On top of being an excellent means of building understanding and cooperation, cocktails can offer a valuable resource and solution for the joint management of global challenges. Cocktails provide entertainment, a much-needed change of pace from long and arduous negotiations, and help to bring people together in a more informal way. They also help facilitate a more constructive dialogue between all participants and offer a place where ideas can be freely exchanged. This allows for agreements to be reached in a productive and respectful manner.
The use of cocktails as a tool for international negotiation is not limited to political debates or professional meetings. Cocktails are also an effective platform to bring together small and large groups of people from around the world. From local cocktail events to large scale international conferences and summits, cocktails have the power to create meaningful conversations and turn them into productive solutions.
Cocktails are the perfect recipe for global agreement. They provide a casual and inviting atmosphere for dialogue, bring diverse people and cultures together, and provide a space for the meaningful exchange of ideas. By utilizing the power of cocktails, we can take an important step towards finding solutions to our global issues and achieving global agreement.
