Ich kenne Menschen die mit dem Segelboot zur #cop30 wollen. Da man bei der #Cop29 nur mit dem Flugzeug anreisen konnte.
Was für eine Frace wenn man dann direkt über die neu durch den Regenwald geschlagene Autobahn fährt.
Ich Frage mich ja immer wer schaut sich das an und wägt das ab und denkt sich:
Die Autobahn durch den Regenwald ist besser als der Imageschaden.
Vom Kilmaschaden erwarte ich ja gar nicht das sie darüber nachdenken das ist ja viel zu abstrakt.
Europe’s race to build a war economy has led the bloc to pull spending desperately needed for another crisis: the climate. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/03/06/climate-change/europe-defense-budget-climate-crisis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #uk #us #donaldtrump #climatechange #baku #cop29

Im November 2024 fand die UN-Klimakonferenz (COP29) im aserbaidschanischen Baku statt, kurz zuvor im Oktober die UN-Biodiversitätskonferenz (CBD-COP16) im kolumbischen Cali. Wie ist die Bilanz? Und wie geht globaler Klimaschutz, nachdem die USA aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen ausgetreten sind?

Just a reminder. The mere *announcement* of a Chinese bullshit generator (#AI) was enough to convince investors to withdraw $1T from NASDAQ index stocks.
That is 3 years of full funding of the entire paris climate accord (post #COP29 tripling of the goal). Or about 100 years of Biden's maximal pledge.
Invested in a speculation about US AI dominance tentative enough to be shaken by a single news event.

"#Covid struck & the climate movement has yet to recover. The crises of #affordability & #housing compete for folk's attention while sharing the same root cause: corporate greed & complicit governments. Throw in a disastrous American election, another flop of a COP conference & the 2024 mood got dark."
Viele Entwicklungsländer sind bereits mit hohen Schulden belastet, dazu kommen künftig weitere Kosten für Klimaschutzmaßnahmen. Auf der #COP29 sollte sich die Internationale Gemeinschaft um eine gerechte und nachhaltige Lösung kümmern. https://www.boell.de/de/2024/11/01/entwicklungslaender-brauchen-wege-zu-einer-gerechten-und-nachhaltigen-klimafinanzierung
The shadow of consulting firms (and #TonyBlair) on climate negotiations
by Emanuele Bompan, 04 APR 2024
"Tony Blair has a long history of support for #FossilFuel projects, especially in Central Asia (in 2014 he became an advisor to the consortium for the #TransAdriaticPipeline - #TAP, to bring Azeri gas to Italy), and a green-wash with wind turbines on TBI website is not enough to clarify where he currently stands for. The same can be said for all the consultancy firms that made billions of euros through contracts with the oil and gas sector, deals that are perfectly legal but can raise concerns when the same consultancy firms become agents and advisers to governments should serve the interests of citizens, not private companies."

The latest U.N. climate summit laid the groundwork for a global system to trade emissions reductions. Japan is riding the wave of change, and could act as a boon for others. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/01/03/japan/carbon-markets-cop29-japan-asia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #climatechange #emissions #carbon #cop29 #parisagreement #gx #tse #investments
Talks to halt plastic pollution, protect biodiversity and end desertification have all failed this year, but one way forward is for small groups of states to form alliances that address common priorities. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/12/30/climate-change/climate-talks-minilateralism-alternative/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #environment #climatechange #cop29
The Guardian: Climate crisis deepens with 2024 ‘certain’ to be hottest year on record…
This year is now almost certain to be the hottest year on record, data shows. It will also be the first to have an average temperature of more than 1.5C above preindustrial levels... theguardian.com #climatechsnge #climatecrisis #C3S #globalwarming #fossilfuel #parisagreement #carbonemissions #CO2 #Cop29 #wildfires #hurricanes #globaltemperatures #extremeweather
Inter Press Service: 2024 Is The Hottest Year Ever Recorded…
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year in recorded history, surpassing 2023. This can be attributed to heightened reliance on fossil fuels and the reluctance of industries worldwide to pivot to green energy practices... #climatechange #globalwarming #wmo #energy #fossilfuels #europeanunion #C3S #cop29 #heat #temperatures

At COP29, Western imperialists once again skirt responsibility as climate crisis deepens
"Even this paltry amount paid into climate financing programs only further enriches the Global North. While some funding comes through grants, 80% is in the form of loans, often at high interest, that also require developing countries to purchase goods and services from the loaning country, meaning significantly higher costs for projects for already debt-strapped countries and billions of dollars siphoned back to the wealthiest countries.
These funds are meant to support developing nations with adaptation measures, compensation for loss and damage from extreme weather and to transition energy systems off fossil fuels. But loan repayments limit developing countries from actually implementing the climate solutions that the funds were meant to cover, while more extreme weather events add to the ongoing debt trap for the countries impacted most severely by climate change"

Al Gore's lecture at #COP29 provided a nice discussion on how his Climate Trace real-world greenhouse gas emissions measurements can be used to mitigate the sources causing the most global warming firstly in order to get the biggest "bang" for our bucks I'll add here.
