  16. Here’s what’s at stake for #Indigenous peoples at #COP28

    Negotiations happen behind closed doors, but for Indigenous peoples, “a lot of work happens in the hallways.”

    by Anita Hofschneider, Nov 29, 2023

    “Ozawa Bineshi Albert wants the world to stop relying on #FossilFuels. So last year, the co-executive director of #ClimateJusticeAlliance flew from the U.S. to Egypt to make her voice heard at COP27, the international conference on climate change where world leaders gather to negotiate new commitments to battle the #ClimateCrisis.

    ”But at COP27, Albert, who is Anishinaabe and Yuchi, noticed that Indigenous peoples like herself were outnumbered by fossil fuel #lobbyists. She was also struck by how many people touted #nuclear energy as an alternative to burning #oil and #gas

    '#Nuclear is one of the most dirty, damaging energy sources, particularly for #IndigenousPeople,' she thought. 'It touches Indigenous communities all along its lifecycle from where it gets #mined, to where it gets #processed, to where #NuclearPower plants are placed, to where #NuclearWaste gets stored.'

    “That observation was just one indication of how the perspectives, and experiences, of Indigenous peoples aren’t always reflected in the broader #EnvironmentalMovement. As COP28 kicks off in the United Arab Emirates this week, hundreds of Indigenous advocates are making their way to Dubai with the hope of ensuring that their communities aren’t overlooked by global leaders.

    “Though the conference doesn’t officially begin until Thursday, the work has already started. Jennifer Tauli Corpuz is Kankanaey-Igorot from the Philippines and is managing director of policy at Nia Tero. She spent eight hours Tuesday in an auditorium with about 350 fellow members of the #IndigenousPeoplesCaucus, a delegation representing Native peoples, working on the details of a two-minute opening statement that the Caucus will be allowed to give during COP28’s opening ceremony. Corpuz says it’s not easy to distill everyone’s perspectives and issues into such a short statement and the work required interpreters in five languages. 

    “Apart from ending fossil fuel reliance, Indigenous advocates at COP28 want to ensure that funding to offset the impacts of #ClimateChange reaches their communities; ensure Indigenous knowledge is seen as a solution to climate change; and prevent governments and private actors from violating their rights, especially as those actors pursue #GreenEnergy projects. 

    “Corpuz said the caucus plans to approve advocacy papers outlining their positions Wednesday. Then comes the work of convincing negotiators to listen. But it’s not easy. 

    “The estimated 350 Indigenous peoples at COP28 is an attendance record for Native advocates, but it’s still far fewer than the 600 fossil fuel lobbyists who attended COP27 last year. As well, the most important work at the conference, negotiating the exact language of international climate change treaties, gets done behind closed doors among designated representatives from United Nations member countries. 

    “Corpuz estimates that perhaps 20 of the 350 #IndigenousPeople at COP28 this week have government badges that allow them access to negotiations. But even then, because they aren’t credentialed delegates representing a negotiating party, they are only able to watch and listen, not speak, she said.

    “Still, it’s an improvement over past years when Indigenous peoples’ representatives were locked out from even more rooms, said Corpuz. At least now Indigenous representatives will be able to hear the details of the negotiations, the perspectives of international representatives, and carry the information back for advocates to lobby government delegates. 'A lot of the work of the Indigenous Caucus happens in the hallways,' Corpuz said.

    “A key question that’s expected to be decided this year is how much money wealthy nations like the U.S. should pay in order to cover the costs of climate disasters in the Global South, an initiative known as the loss and damage fund. One study estimates that nations in the Global North are responsible for 92% of excess carbon emissions each year, compared with 8% in the Global South.

    “‘What’s at stake is how these finance mechanisms are going to impact and be accessible to Indigenous communities and other impacted communities, how they will be funded, and to what levels will they be funded,' Albert said. 'And will those resources actually get to communities and not be taken up by agencies that will administer them?' 

    “Eriel Deranger of the #Athabasca #Chipewyan #FirstNation in #Canada and executive director of Indigenous Climate Action, thinks that it makes sense that wealthy countries would be paying for climate impacts, but Deranger also wants the money to be available to Indigenous people no matter what country they live in due to already extreme climate impacts, many of which are exacerbated by #colonization and #LandTheft .

    “‘If Canada, for example, or the U.S. is contributing to the loss and damage fund and we don’t have access to it as Indigenous people in North America or in the Global North, where are we going to see those kind of climate reparations and restitution for the damages that we are facing from the climate crisis?' Deranger asked. 

    “But money is only part of the equation, said Kandi White, a citizen of the #Mandan, #Hidatsa, and #Arikara Nations in the U.S. and program director at the Indigenous Environmental Network, which sent a 25-member delegation to Dubai. 'For Indigenous peoples, it’s not just about the money, but it’s also about the return of our #sovereignty over our lands,' said White.  

    “That sovereignty has been threatened by #landgrabs, including recent #landdeals between a #UnitedArabEmirates company and five #African nations for the #CarbonCredit trade, White said. The land deals were touted as a way to help conserve land and offset #pollution, but White is concerned about whether the Indigenous people living there truly #consented to the plan as well as how they’ll be affected. It’s part of a broader pattern of conservation deals that are creating conflict in Indigenous territories around the world.

    “Both Deranger and White, who are in Dubai this week, also hope to establish a grievance procedure through which Indigenous peoples whose rights are infringed upon could hold governments accountable. 'We need there to not just be lip service of, ‘We recognize Indigenous rights,’ but we need to see language that has teeth,' Deranger said. 

    “But securing that level of accountability may be an uphill battle. Even when world leaders make promises, they don’t always fulfill them: wealthy countries blew a 2020 deadline to spend $100 billion a year to help poorer nations cope with climate impacts and make progress toward #decarbonization. One study suggested that goal may have been met last year, two years late, even as the world hurtles toward 3 degrees of warming.

    “The combined challenges—a lack of access to negotiating tables and tepid commitments by global leaders—have fueled disillusionment. Moñeka De Oro, who is Chamorro from the Mariana Islands and co-executive director of the #Micronesia Climate Change Alliance, says that last year at COP some Indigenous Caucus members discussed boycotting the convention, 'no longer being a part of these processes that continuously degrade our input,' she said. 

    “De Oro recently helped draft a declaration for peace, unity and climate justice in the Pacific to be read at COP that called for a future free of #colonialism and #militarization. But as much as she believes in that message, she joined a boycott of this year’s convention with Grassroots Global Justice Alliance protesting the Israeli government’s war on Gaza, and questions whether to attend future meetings. 

    "'If you’re going to continue to continuously be ignored and continuously be just erased from the entire process, I don’t know how much longer we want to be complicit in attending these sorts of things,' she said.

    “The power imbalances can be discouraging but Ozawa Bineshi Albert still feels determined. 

    “‘#COP is not a place that we go to thinking we’re going to get everything we want,' she said. To her, the overarching question is: 'How can we make sure that we at least hold the line and make sure the least amount of damage and the least amount of harm is caused to frontline and Indigenous communities?’”

  17. Unsere tägliche Prognose gibt dir Einblick in die geplante Stromerzeugung in Deutschland, basierend auf offiziellen Daten aus der Energiewirtschaft:

    💚 Anteil Erneuerbarer Energien
    Unsere Prognose zeigt dir, wann besonders viel Strom aus Wind- und Solaranlagen zur Verfügung steht. So kannst du durch einen angepassten Verbrauch mehr grünen Strom nutzen und die Energiewende unterstützen.

    ☁ Emissionen
    Steht viel Erneuerbare Energie im Netz bereit, reduzieren klimaschädliche Kohle- und Gaskraftwerke ihre Leistung. Und damit verringern sich auch die anfallenden CO2-Emissionen pro erzeugter Kilowattstunde.

    📉 Börsenstrompreis
    Wir zeigen, wie sich der Strompreis am Spotmarkt ändert. Hier wird klar: Klimafreundlich erzeugter Strom ist günstig! Hast du einen dynamischen Stromtarif, kannst du nicht nur Emissionen, sondern auch deine Energiekosten senken.

    PeakPick möchte die Energiewende und die Notwendigkeit von erzeugungsabhängigem Stromverbrauch stärker in das Bewusstsein von Menschen rücken. 🧠 Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass die Beteiligung der Gesellschaft durch Digitalisierung entscheidend für diese große Transformation ist. Mit unserer Datenvisualisierung wollen wir dabei möglichst viele Menschen über Soziale Netzwerke erreichen. 📢

  19. Habt ihr auch einen Homo Solaris Sapiens in eurem Bekanntenkreis?

    Menschen, die euch von überall auf der Welt mit ihrem Smartphone genau sagen können, wieviel Strom die eigene Solaranlage auf dem Dach liefert, auf wieviel Grad die Wärmepumpe den Warmwasserspeicher im Keller aufgeheizt hat und wie es im letzten Monat um den Autarkiegrad des Hauses bei der Stromversorgung bestellt ist? 📊

    Sobald man Strom selbst kostenlos von der Sonne nutzen kann, geht man anders mit elektrischer Energie um. Dazu braucht es oft nicht mal eine ganze Solaranlage, schon ein Balkonsolarmodul mit 300W Peak-Leistung will man dann möglichst ausreizen und versucht Waschmaschine und Geschirrspüler mittags mit möglichst viel eigenen Strom zu versorgen – was wiederum die Energiekosten drückt.

    Doch Vorsicht! Auch, wenn man zur Miete wohnt und die Energiewende in den eigenen vier Wänden unerreichbar scheint, kann man zum Homo Solaris mutieren! 🧬🌞

    Denn durch das öffentliche Stromnetz zapft auch ihr mit großen Photovoltaikanlagen die Kraft der Sonne an! Wenn ihr viel klimafreundlichen Strom nutzen wollt, macht es wie der Homo Solaris und nutzt ihn, wenn er verfügbar ist. Zwar senkt das nicht eure Stromkosten, da sich die Solarzellen noch vor eurem Zähler befinden – für die Energiewende und den Klimaschutz hat es aber einen ähnlichen Effekt! 🌍

    Und – Pro Tipp: Ihr habt neben der Photovoltaik auch Windräder zur Verfügung, die euch zu bestimmten Zeiten mit richtig viel grünem Strom versorgen, auch morgens oder abends. 🌬️

  20. Auch ohne eigene Solaranlage, wie etwa in einer Mietwohnung, kann man einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Energiewende zu leisten! 💪⚡

    Wie soll das denn gehen? 🤨 Mit voranschreitender Energiewende wird es immer wichtiger, den Stromverbrauch an die schwankende Erzeugung durch Wind- und Solaranlagen anzupassen, um möglichst unabhängig von konventionellen Kraftwerken zu werden. Denn mangels Speicher 🔋 muss Strom aus regenerativen Quellen möglichst dann genutzt werden, wenn er erzeugt wird.

    In der Industrie erfolgt dies durch sog. Lastmanagement. 🔌 Bestimmte große Verbraucher werden zu- oder abgeschaltet, um das Netz zu stabilisieren. Auch in Haushalten kann mit intelligent gesteuerten Wärmepumpen, smarten Waschmaschinen sowie vernetzten Wallboxen der Strombezug ganz automatisch in vorteilhafte Zeiten gelegt werden. 🎯

    Doch auch manuell geschaltete Haushaltsgeräte haben noch ein großes, ungenutztes Potential! Immerhin sind sie noch weit verbreitet und noch viele Jahre im Einsatz. So lässt sich der Betrieb von 🧺 Waschmaschinen und 🍽 Geschirrspülern bewusst in Zeiten mit viel grünen Strom legen.

    Durch unsere Strommix-Prognose weißt du jetzt immer genau, wann viel klimafreundlicher Strom verfügbar sein wird und kannst deinen Verbrauch entsprechend anpassen. Mit welchen Geräten willst du in Zukunft mehr grüne Energie nutzen? 🌍
