Was genau zählt eigentlich als #Mikroplastik?
Die Europäische Union, das Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen und #Umweltschützer verwenden überraschend unterschiedliche Definitionen. Wer wissen will, wie Mikroplastik definiert wird und woraus sich Probleme ergeben, sollte diesen Beitrag lesen.
🐟 In deinem Interesse, vermeide #Plastikprodukte und wähle plastikfreie Alternativen. 💚

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:
“We have abandoned 2030 [climate targets]; there's no way we can achieve that. I think it lacks the honesty that Canadians deserve on this issue. It's disingenuous."

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:
The budget “explicitly mentioned that we're excluding "enhanced oil recovery" from the tax credit -- a demand from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May that Guilbeault had communicated to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne as her red line.
“Then Elizabeth votes for us with the budget, and then, we turn around two weeks later, barely, and we include this in the MOU with Alberta."
"This is unacceptable, I gave my word to Elizabeth, we gave our word as a party to Elizabeth, and we're betraying our word to her.”

The National Observer zooms in on AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU, as proposing:
🪔 "to slash-and-burn a series of climate policies" affecting clean electricity regulations, the oil and gas emissions cap and the oil tanker moratorium on B.C.'s coast
🪔 "dramatic reversal in policy that would allow carbon capture tax credits to be used for "enhanced oil recovery" (pumping more oil out of the ground using captured carbon dioxide) — despite that being explicitly excluded in the federal budget"
Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states:
🚨"the government isn't being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments"

On today's AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU...
Julia Levin, associate director at Environmental Defense Canada: "All of this was ostensibly to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, but it's actually set to *weaken* pricing and undermine the entire regime".
That was Levin's comment with regards to catching this tweet by AB Premier Smith's chief of staff and his interpretation & takeaway (appearing different than Carney's announcement):

Il report Emission Gas: siamo lontani dagli obiettivi climatici
Il Programma per l'Ambiente dell'ONU (#UNEP) ha pubblicato oggi l'ultima edizione dell' #EmissionGasReport, pochi giorni prima dell'apertura della #COP30, il vertice sul clima a Belem, in Brasile.
Se tutti i Paesi rispettassero i piani per contenere il riscaldamento globale (#NDC), allo stato attuale le temperature aumenterebbero tra 2,3 e 2,5°C, cioè meno dei 2,6-2,8°C previsti nel 2023.https://www.hdblog.it/green/articoli/n637287/aumento-temperatura-globale-proiezioni-rapporto/

UNEP’s carbon gap report, link here
- we’re still heading towards 2.8C warming by 2100 on current climate policies
- if all unconditional, conditional and net zero pledges were implemented by all countries, we could limit warming to 1.9C
-
"Happy" to see that Europe's commitment is visible in this graph of the @unep
However, overall, we might lose the race... -
Current policies - the ones countries already have in place - would lead to even more warming, of around 2.8°C, #UNEP said.
The world has made some progress. A decade ago, when the #ParisAgreement was signed, the planet was on course for around a 4°C temperature rise.
But heat-trapping #CO2 #emissions continue to rise, as countries burn #coal, #oil & #gas to power their economies.
Global #GreenhouseGas #emissions increased by 2.3% in 2024, to 57.7 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent, UNEP said.
-
Yet govts' latest pledges to cut #emissions in future, if met, would see the world face 2.3-2.5°C of warming, #UNEP said.
That's around 0.3°C less warming than the UN's projection a year ago—indicating that new emissions-cutting plans announced this year by countries including top #CO2 emitter #China have failed to substantially close the gap.
China pledged in Sept to cut emissions by 7-10% from their peak by 2035. Analysts note China tends to set modest targets & exceed them.
-
"This will be difficult to reverse—requiring faster & bigger additional reductions in #GreenhouseGas #emissions to minimize overshoot," #UNEP said.
Lead report author Anne Olhoff said deep emissions cuts now could delay when the overshoot happens, "but we can no longer totally avoid it".
The 2015 #ParisAgreement commits countries to limit the global average temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, & to aim for 1.5°C.

UNEP-Report: Zugesagte Klima-Gelder sind "völlig unzureichend"
Die Entwicklungsländer brauchen finanzielle Mittel, um sich an die verheerenden Folgen des Klimawandels anzupassen. Der Bedarf ist allerdings 12- bis 14-mal so hoch wie die zugesagten Investitionen der Industrieländer. Von Renate Ell.

Environmental damage in #Gaza Strip harming human #health, threatening long-term #food and #water security - new #UNEP report
- 61 million tonnes of debris
- Freshwater supplies severely limited and polluted
- About 78% of Gaza’s estimated 250,000 buildings damaged or destroyed.
- Loss of vegetation and compaction by military activity have affected soil structure -
Action on #methane mitigation in the oil and gas sector is an emergency brake for #globalwarming. This will help to reduce methane emissions globally by 30% by 2030. 🙏 to the #Climate and Clean Air Coalition at #UNEP for bringing us together & #UNSG to take up our results in the #SolutionsDialogue.

#UN sounds new #globalwarming #alarm
"Current #climate #policies will result in #GW of more than 3°C by end of e century — more than twice the rise agreed to nearly a decade ago. A #chronic lack of ambition & climate action by countries over past 3 years means the goal to keep GW below 1.5C will soon be dead, #Emissions Gap report by #UNEP warned.. Under current #pledges to act, #temperatures wld still rise btw 2.6-2.8°C by 2100, in line w #findings fr the past 3 years"

Think that your #plastic is being recycled? Think again.
Plastic is cheap to make and shockingly profitable. It’s everywhere. And we’re all paying the price.
By Douglas Main
October 12, 2023"#PlasticPollution—'a scourge on a planetary scale,' as French president Emmanuel Macron has put it—most affects those least able to deal with its consequences. Noting that the #PlasticIndustry generates upward of $700 billion a year in revenues, the UN Environment Programme (#UNEP) also concluded that the industry 'inflicts a heavy burden on #HumanHealth and #EnvironmentalDegradation, with the poorest in society facing the highest impacts whilst contributing the least to plastic over-consumption and waste.'
"This is true at every stage of plastic’s life cycle. #Manufacturing plants are concentrated in communities of color—such as in #Louisiana, in an area along the #MississippiRiver often called '#CancerAlley,' which is home to nearly 150 #OilRefineries, plastics plants, and #chemical facilities. Such plants emit #AirPollution that raises risks of cancer and other diseases. A panel of UN human rights experts said the situation amounts to a 'form of environmental racism [that] poses serious and disproportionate threats to the ... human rights of its largely #AfricanAmerican residents.'
"This pollution also disproportionately harms poor and developing countries that produce little or no plastic, such as those in #Africa, the #Pacific, and elsewhere."
