La presión por producir menos para contaminar menos es cada vez mayor
La conferencia sobre el clima COP27 del año pasado nos trajo el primer pabellón de sistemas alimentarios. Y aunque el plan cuatrienal acordado sobre agricultura y seguridad alimentaria quedó diluido, la conferencia sobre el clima vio cómo la alimentación pasaba a ocupar un lugar destacado en la agenda por pri [...]

"COP28 and the nuclear energy numbers racket"
"Even at best, a shift to invest more heavily in nuclear energy over the next two decades could actually worsen the climate crisis, as cheaper, quicker alternatives are ignored for more expensive, slow-to-deploy nuclear options."

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists · COP28 and the nuclear energy numbers racketTwenty-two countries called for a tripling of nuclear energy by 2050 at the COP-28 climate meeting in Dubai. This article explains, with facts and figures, why nuclear energy will continue to be the most expensive and slowest option for reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions.
You'll forgive my poor eyesight but every time I see a news article with the hashtag #COP27 I think it says COPD, you know, like...
Oh, never mind.

And of course, lines of conflict not only became visible about phasing out fossil fuels, but also about historical responsibility, climate finance, and a just and equitable transition. But here too, lines of conflict & possible alliances become clearer with each COP.
At #COP28, we witnessed 127+ countries support the phase out of ALL fossil fuels. At #COP27, they were only 80. A year earlier @ #COP26, debates were only on coal and fossil subsidies phase out/down.

53/n Not just because they know or think that they will be able to look after themselves (whxih they may or may not be right about), but also because their whole experience of the world is so orderly, so ok, that real catastrophe is just not part of their repertoire of thinking. They really think things will not be so bad.
It is a Tragedy of the NON-commons that it is these people who are in charge. Resharing this piece, which I published last year, during #COP27).

Suspense insoutenable ce soir pour le résultat des élections présidentielles en Égypte.
Le Maréchal Al Sissi égalera-t-il son score de 2018 (97% des voix) ou se contentera-t-il de son piètre score de 2014 (96%) ?
Le monde entier retient son souffle !
Non : personne n'en a rien à foutre.
Excepté les égyptiens, quoiqu'ils ne se fassent plus aucune illusion depuis 10 ans.
Les Occidentaux s'en foutent tant que le "dictateur préféré" de Donald Trump continue d'assurer la sécurité des frontières méditerranéennes de l'Europe (ces fameuses "zones tampons") en persécutant ses opposants islamistes. (Et on ferme les yeux sur le fait qu'il persécute tous les opposants, les torturent, les assassinent, les emprisonnent arbitrairement) Tant que les putains de touristes de mes deux ont le loisir de faire leur croisière sur le Nil en toute sécurité.
Et qui se souvient que la dernière COP (27) s'est tenue à Sharm El-Sheik l'année dernière ?
Franchement, on dirait que c'est un concours : l’Égypte, puis les Émirats-Arabes Unis, et demain l'Azerbaïdjan ? C'est quoi le projet ? La reconnaissance sur la scène internationale des régimes qui singent et parodient la démocratie ? On sait bien qu'ils s'en carrent le mou du climat, mais aller tailler des pipes diplomatiques à tous ces psychopathes ? (bon, ça n'a rien de nouveau c'est vrai, mais dans le monde néolibéral, on fait même plus semblant)
Tiens. Une petite photo. On attend les félicitations du PDG de la (f)Rance pour saluer les résultats de l'élection.
Et les bilans d'Amnesty International et de Human Rights Watch pour ceux qui n'ont pas suivi la dernière décennie en Égypte :

Why did activists stage their death in front of the Danish government yesterday?
There were 4 times more fossil fuel lobbyists in #COP28 than during #COP27. #COP28 is a failure, like the 27 COPs before.
#HowMuchMore false promises, lobbying & elite politics will we allow?
Hear the words of Anna Lia, one of the activists protesting yesterday.

R to @CZacharopoulou: Le fonds pour les pertes et préjudices, porté avec force par la #TeamEurope à la #COP27, s'établit à la #COP28.
Le président @EmmanuelMacron l'a annoncé : nous investirons jusqu’à 100 M€ en ciblant les plus vulnérables.
Tous les pays qui le peuvent doivent y contribuer.

" Record number of #FossilFuel #lobbyists get access to #Cop28 #climate talks
UAE-hosted summit admitted at least 2,456 people affiliated with #oil and #gas industries, analysis finds ... The figure calculated by the Kick Big Polluters Out (KBPO) coalition is a record number that raises further questions about the fossil fuel industry’s influence over this year’s #UN summit, which is being run by the president of the United Arab Emirates’ national oil company.
The scale of oil and gas influence in Dubai is unprecedented, with almost four times as many industry-affiliated lobbyists than the number registered for #Cop27 in Sharm el-Sheikh – which itself was a record year.
#Lobbyists vying to push the interests of oil and gas companies such as #Shell, #Total and #ExxonMobil outnumber every country delegation apart from #Brazil (3,081), which is expected to run Cop30 in 2025, and the host country, which registered 4,409 attenders.
Fossil fuel lobbyists also outnumber official #Indigenous representatives (316) by seven to one – another sign, say campaigners, that oil and gas industry profits are being prioritised over a sustainable planet and frontline communities."

Er is weer een COP bezig! #COP28.
Vorig jaar waren mijn collega-raadslid Judith Hofte van de @PartijvoordeDieren en ik uitgenodigd om de klimaatconferentie in Egypte te duiden (#COP27 -Conference Of the Parties):
Ter voorbereiding ben ik toen even geholpen door Laurens Dassen die daar is geweest, en door Carolina Pereira Marghidan, klimaatwetenschapper aan de UT.
Ook leerde ik hoe zo'n COP werkt bij deze lezing van Maarten van Aalst op de UT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOgAdQsvXnk
#COP27’s new #lossanddamage fund was pivotal to regain trust between parties. After some tension in the Transitional Committee, there was no guarantee this would carry over to #COP28, but today’s decision and pledges are a good start.

In the next few days, together with @defis_eu, we will look back at the major events of the past year related to #ClimateChange
We kick off today starting with this #Sentinel2

Again from [1] (see also notes by e.g. @rahmstorf https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/111465407551907777 ; @ChrisMayLA6 https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/111413285901325014 ):
"Indeed, the lobbying investments and efforts of the #FossilFuel industry are escalating; in 2022, a record 636 lobbyists for fossil fuel companies attended #COP27.
Whether as a result of this lobbying, or of the pursuit of short-sighted interests, most governments have failed to act at the pace needed to protect their population's #health from the impacts of #ClimateChange"

Further delays in tackling greenhouse gas emissions at COP28 will be an act of negligence.

21/n Another key concern at #COP28 is #LossAndDamage. This was the one area where there was real progress at #COP27 last year in Egypt: for the first time, countries agreed to set up a fund for vulnerable countries hit hard by climate disasters. Loss and Damage is simultaneously essential and deeply inadequate as a #ClimateJustice measure: no amount of money is going to compensate for the loss of entire Islands or cities! But it must be provided

"[Es] ändert sich die Politik. Konnten Agrarchemiekonzerne früher mit festem Rückhalt in den meisten Regierungen rechnen, hat sich der Wind längst gedreht. Die #EU hat beschlossen, dass der Einsatz von Pestiziden bis 2030 um [die Hälfte reduziert werden soll]. Ein ähnliches Ziel steht auch beim #UN-Weltnaturschutzgipfel der Vereinten Nationen im Dezember in Montreal auf der Tagesordnung."
Tatsächlich hat die #UN 2022 in #Montreal auf der #COP15 sehr wichtige Schritte Richtung Biodiversität gelegt! Wichtig auch der Begriff #regenerativeAgriculture , der bereits bei #cop27 prominent war und auch bei der #cop28 auf der Agenda steht.
Hier soll nicht nur das Problem mit Pestiziden, Biodiversität und Überdüngung (Nitrate,Stickstoff) angegangen werden, sondern auch den Humusaufbau und die #CO2 Speicherung im Boden. Damit Landwirtschaft klimaverträglicher und nachhaltiger sein soll, also auch nachfolgende Generationen fruchtbare Böden voller Mikroorganismen vorfinden.
