Sigh. This again
Bad climate news is everywhere. Africa is being hit particularly hard by climate change and extreme weather, impacting lives and livelihoods.
We are living in a world that is warming at the fastest rate since records began. Yet, governments have been slow to act.
The annual global climate change conference of the parties (COP30) is just months away. All of the 197 countries that belong to the United Nations were supposed to have submitted updated national climate plans to the UN by February this year. These plans outline how each country will cut its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the legally binding international Paris Agreement. This agreement commits all signatories to limiting human-caused global warming to no more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Governments must also bring their newly updated national climate action plans to COP30 and show how they plan to adapt to the impacts that climate change will bring.
Is this the same COP30 where they’re cutting down the Amazon to build roads to get the 40K attendees from the airport to the convention?
In Africa, the UN is hosting UNFCCC Climate Week in Addis Ababa in September. As well as making plans for COP30, there will be sessions on accessing climate finance and ensuring that the transition to zero human-caused carbon emissions by 2050 (net zero) is just and equitable. The summit also aims to support countries that are still working on their national climate plans.
I wonder how many thousands, or tens of thousands, are going to be taking fossil fueled flights to Ethiopia for this? Anyhow, you’ve seen the prognostications before, but, a few more
- This is 2018: Climate Scientists to World: We Have Only 20 Years Before There’s No Turning Back
- And 2024: UN climate chief presses for faster action, says humans have 2 years left ‘to save the world’
- And 2019: Climate change: 12 years to save the planet? Make that 18 months
It’s all so tedious. And cultish.
