What exactly is a “political reset?” Does that mean that one day, all of the world’s governments step down to be replaced by new forms of government better able to address a global emergency?
Looking at the context,
… Current political crises present an opportunity for reset, especially if young people can grasp their situation.
No one wants to live in a “Mad Max” universe, however, our current lifestyle is
unsustainable. If we do not act rapidly, it will lead to a “Road Warrior” scenario.

Humanity Needs ‘Exit Ramp off Road to Climate Hell’, Secretary-General Insists, Urging Bolder, Faster Action to Save Planet, in Address at American Natural History Museum
Following is UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate action, “A Moment of Truth”, to the American Museum of Natural History, in New York today:
Today is World Environment Day. It is also the day that the European Commission’s Copernicus Climate Change Service officially reports May 2024 as the hottest May in recorded history.
This marks 12 straight months of the hottest months ever. For the past year, every turn of the calendar has turned up the heat. Our planet is trying to tell us something. But we don’t seem to be listening.
The American Museum of Natural History is the ideal place to make the point. This great Museum tells the amazing story of our natural world. Of the vast forces that have shaped life on Earth over billions of years. Humanity is just one small blip on the radar. But like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, we’re having an outsized impact. In the case of climate, we are not the dinosaurs. We are the meteor. We are not only in danger. We are the danger. But we are also the solution.
…
So, how do we make
rapid,
dramatic changes given that three decades of international efforts have produced effectively no progress?
