  1. Repost: H.E. Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, addressed the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York. Here he reflected on Azerbaijan’s work in leading the international community against the shared challenge of the climate crisis, including the agreement of the Baku Finance Goal, which will channel at least $300bn per year of climate finance from developed to developing countries by 2035. #UNGA #UNGA80 #ClimateWeekNYC #unitednations #azerbaijan

    NEW YORK (AP) — "Six years after a teenage #GretaThunberg walked out of school in a solitary #Climate{rotest outside of the Swedish parliament, people around a warming globe marched in youth-led protest, saying their voices are being heard but not sufficiently acted upon.

    "Emissions of heat-trapping gases and temperatures have been rising and #OilAndGas drilling has continued even as the protests that kicked off major weeklong climate events in New York City have become annual events. This year, they come days before the #UnitedNations convenes two special summits, one concentrating on #SeaLevelRise and the other on the future.

    "The young people who organized these marches with #FridaysForFuture said there is frustration with inaction but also hope. People marched in #Berlin, #RioDeJaneiro, #NewDelhi and elsewhere, but the focus often is in New York City because of #ClimateWeekNYC. Diplomats, business leaders and activists are concentrating their discussions on the money end of fighting #ClimateChange — something not lost on protesters.

    "'We hope that the government and the financial sector make polluters pay for the damage that they have imposed on our environment,' said #Uganda Fridays for Future founder #HildaFlaviaNakabuye, who was among a few hundred marching in New York Friday, a far cry from the tens of thousands that protested in a multi-group mega-rally in 2023.

    "The New York protest wants to take aim at 'the pillars of #FossilFuels” — companies that #pollute, banks that fund them, and leaders who are failing on climate, said Helen Mancini, an organizer and a senior at the city’s Stuyvesant High School."

    "Big Oil, Big Lies and Big Al..." (16 min)

    Quotes (loosely)
    Just Have a Think:
    "if we stopped giving that money (subsidies) to the fossil fuel companies, we could cover the ENTIRE COST of suppporting our friends in the GLOBAL SOUTH and have enough left over to COMPLETELY fund the global expansion of RENEWABLES required by 2030 to actally achieve NET ZERO in 2050"
    Naomi Oreskes:
    "By 2100 economic damage will be so great that it essentially matches global GDP"
    the cost of fixing climate change becomes so great that we have no money left for anything else"
