Der auf der #Weltklimakonferenz #COP27 beschlossene Fonds für Verluste und Schäden befindet sich weiter im Aufbau.
Laut #Bundesregierung fehlen noch Grundlagen wie eine Strategie zur Ressourcenmobilisierung und ein langfristiges Geschäftsmodell.
Deutschland sagte bei COP28 in Dubai 100 Millionen US-Dollar zu und zahlte 92 Millionen Euro aus. Mitte März lagen die Zusagen bei rund 822 Millionen US-Dollar.

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".

"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).

" 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.

3/
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"

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

positive Töne im Artikel:
"[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.

Agreement to create a loss & damage fund was an important conclusion at #COP27 in Egypt, & leaders from developing countries celebrated plans to aid “particularly vulnerable” nations. But negotiations on getting the fund up & running have ended in discord https://www.ft.com/content/20356e04-4fcf-4034-9bcc-5b998e8caf15

Ernsthaft: hat wirklich jemand geglaubt, reiche Staaten würden armen Staaten Geld für einen #Strukturwandel bzw. Anpassung an die #Klimakrise / #Klimakatastrophe bezahlen wie bei der #Klimakonferenz #COP27 vereinbart wurde?
Das war doch ☀️klar, dass das nur eine Pseudo-Vereinbarung ist um Geldflüsse und Maßnahmen noch jahrelang hinauszuzögern - so wie eben die #Klimapolitik de facto überall läuft. 🤷♂️Sorry to say, aber wir werden das nicht schaffen. Die #Klimakatastrophe kommt, unweigerlich.
Und je länger vorherrscht, dass #Gier und #Geld die Welt regiert, desto stärker. 🤑🤑🤑"#Klima: Rückschlag bei Verhandlungen vor #COP28: Keine Einigung über Fonds"

3/n and we need to at least try to do whatever we can to ensure the best possible outcome - even if this is minimal and will only highlight our powerlessness etc. as a minimum, we have to understand what’s going on.
I am saying this as after #COP26 and in the run up to #COP27 i kept on tweeting about the #RatchetMechanism but seemed to be virtually the only one. It may well be that I was misguided but i couldn’t help wondering whether

Top grain traders ‘helped scupper’ ban on soya from deforested land | Environment | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/06/top-grain-traders-helped-scupper-ban-on-soya-from-deforested-land"But instead of agreeing the ban, Cargill and ADM “led the push” for weaker language in the final statement, according to one person involved in the discussions between the 14 grain traders before Cop27."
Businesses *must* be excluded from COP conferences if we're to save our planet.

Northern Arapaho and Akimel O'otham Hopi Interrupt Biden at #COP27: No Time Left for False Solutions
November 11, 2022
“#JacobJohns, Akimel O'otham and Hopi, and #BigWind Carpenter, Northern Arapaho, were among four climate activists whose credentials were removed after their war cry and banner drop during President Biden's address.
“Johns told the Guardian, 'We’ve been locked out, our voices silenced,' said Johns, 39, a Washington state-based community organizer. 'The climate collapse is coming, we are literally fighting for our lives. If we’re not allowed to advocate for our future, who will? It’s shameful.'
“‘The world is falling apart but inside the destruction, there is creation and a healthy liveable future, and we try to bring this energy to the chaotic negotiations. International spaces have been historically off-limits to indigenous peoples, but different perspectives can hold a lot of power. I’ve been denied that basic right.'
“Johns raised his own funds to attend COP27 and was then locked out.
“Big Wind, Northern #Arapaho, told the Guardian, 'This is a clear example of radical #Indigenous people and youth being silenced, we’re muted when we try to express our frustration in these spaces. It shows the UN’s true colors.'
“‘We need to accelerate the transition but that’s not going to happen by partnering with big polluters like #Amazon and #PepsiCo, and so we needed to call that out,' he said, in reference to an announcement earlier this week by US climate envoy #JohnKerry, the #Bezos Earth Fund, PepsiCo and others about plans to design an energy transition accelerator.
“Today: Biden's speech was interrupted before the suits moved in, as #Egypt forbids protest in the #BlueZone at COP27.
“The Guardian reports: Protesters interrupt the US president's speech by Nina Lakhani: ‘Four protesters holding a banner which read ‘people vs fossils’ interrupted the speech of Joe Biden, the US president, to Cop27.
'The protesters were youth and Indigenous activists from the US, and they were calling on Biden to stop pushing fossil fuel extraction. They spoke with the Guardian shortly after being escorted out of the plenary hall by security staff.“‘The president, members of Congress and the state department have come to this international forum on climate change proposing false solutions that will not get us to 1.5C,' said Big Wind, 29, a member of the Northern Arapaho tribe in Wyoming.
“We need to accelerate the transition but that’s not going to happen by partnering with big polluters like Amazon and PepsiCo, and so we needed to call that out,' he said, in reference to an announcement earlier this week by US climate envoy John Kerry, the Bezos Earth Fund, PepsiCo and others about plans to design an energy transition accelerator.“'Biden referenced Indigenous peoples in his speech, yet has failed to leverage his power to support them directly through direct access to funds needed by communities to adapt to the #ClimateCrisis' said Big Wind.”

Some background about #JacobJohns
‘Shameful’ UN silencing Indigenous voices, say banned Cop27 activists
by Nina Lakhani Climate justice reporter
Fri 18 Nov 2022 09.08 EST"Four US activists who had their #Cop27 accreditation revoked after briefly interrupting the US president, Joe Biden, in Sharm el-Sheikh have described the UN as 'shameful' and say it has silenced Indigenous voices.
"#BigWind, Jacob Johns, #JamieWefald, and #AngelaZhong missed the second week of the climate conference after being suspended for standing up with a 'People vs #FossilFuels' banner during Biden’s speech last Friday. The #Indigenous activists, Wind and Johns, gave a war cry to announce themselves and draw attention to the fossil fuels crisis before security officials confiscated the banner. The group then sat down and Biden continued.
"The activists appealed against the suspension to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), but the case has not yet been resolved.
"'We’ve been locked out, our voices silenced,' said Johns, 39, a Washington state-based community organiser from the Akimel O’otham and Hopi tribe. 'The #ClimateCollapse is coming, we are literally fighting for our lives. If we’re not allowed to advocate for our future, who will? It’s shameful.'"
