The good folks at #TedTalks put together this #ClimateChange explainer that lays out the stakes better than I've ever seen, heading into #COP27, 2021 www.ted.com/talks/countd...
The 55 gigaton challenge

Lowly #Macron, who in #COP27 warmly shook Maduro's hands after having been calling him a dictator few months before that, when the US was brewing a coup d'état in #Venezuela which #Maduro aborted, has just sent Trump a message saying "We can do things together in #Iran and #Syria, but I do not understand #Greenland".
Africa: 'Just Transition Must Make Climate Work for People Living Its Consequences': [IPS] We have seen stalled climate action, widening inequality, and people left behind. At COP27, the establishment of the Just Transition Work Programme was a crucial step toward putting justice at the heart of climate action. But words alone cannot hold back the tide. --Open letter on Just Transition http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TPJLk7 #JustTransition #ClimateJustice #COP27 #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment

Une excellente nouvelle ! Alaa Abd El-Fattah sera bientôt libre !
J'avais rencontré sa soeur lors de la #COP27 en Egypte pendant que ce dernier était en grève de la faim.
C'est une magnifique nouvelle pour lui et ses proches.

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."

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).

🛑 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
