Members phkrause Posted September 23, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 Fracturing climate consensus Illustration: Allie Carl/Axios The super-sized Climate Week in Manhattan featured a stark split-screen between the official business, showcased at the UN Climate Ambition Summit, and a trade show-like glimpse into our lower carbon future. Why it matters: The core message from both sides is that progress is being made to decarbonize economies. But the pace and scale are nowhere as fast or sweeping as they need to be. Expect that to come up repeatedly at the UN Climate Summit in Dubai (COP28) from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12. The private sector is emphasizing speed. Countries working within the UN process want speed plus a fossil fuel phaseout — and more money to help developing nations suffering the worst consequences. It foreshadows COP28's fault lines, and the task ahead for the United Arab Emirates' leadership. 🖼️ The big picture: At more than 600 climate-themed events throughout the city this week, venture capitalists, policymakers, CEOs, corporate sustainability officers and others made the case that progress has been made to lower greenhouse gas emissions. President Biden's signature climate law, enacted a little more than a year ago, has helped jump-start the process. But the world is still hurtling toward exceeding Paris targets. "We are in many aspects even moving backwards," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said as he led Wednesday's summit. Reality check: While the president-designate of COP28, Sultan al-Jaber, will come to Dubai agreeing with the spirit of Guterres' summit, there are significant disagreements on the substance. Al-Jaber told Axios in an interview that he wants to focus on cutting emissions and tripling renewables by 2030. But he didn't endorse "phaseout" language, instead noting that a "phase down is inevitable." 🔮 What's next: A major task for COP28 will be to formally assess whether (and how far off) the world is toward meeting the Paris targets, known as the Global Stocktake. It calls for an eventual phaseout of fossil fuels. The bottom line: The private sector Climate Week's theme this year was "We can. We will." If one could affix a theme to the UN summit it was: "We need to, but might not rise to the moment."

Researchers in Canada's Hudson Bay found that 19 of the 20 bears they studied dropped an average of 47 pounds (21 kilograms) over three weeks. Read more. Why this matters: “Polar bears need sea ice to feed — this is how they access their primary prey (ice seals). They evolved from grizzly bears to live on a marine diet of fat,” said University of Washington biologist Kristin Laidre, who wasn’t part of the study team. “This paper adds to a growing body of evidence that polar bears cannot sustain themselves on land as we continue to lose sea ice due to climate warming.” Last September, the Arctic Sea ice hit an annual low.

Members phkrause Posted April 9 Author Members Share Posted April 9 Is action on climate change a human right? A European court has decided Europe’s highest human rights court has ruled on a group of landmark climate change cases brought by a French mayor, six Portuguese youngsters, and more than 2,000 members of Senior Women for Climate Protection that are aimed at forcing countries to meet international obligations goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Read more. Why this matters: Lawyers for all three cases had hoped the court would find that national governments have a legal duty to make sure global warming remains in line with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, but Judge Siofra O’Leary came down with mixed judgments. Although activists have had successes with lawsuits in domestic proceedings, these rulings are the first time an international court has ruled on climate change. Judgments from the European Court of Human Rights aren’t legally binding for all 46 of the European Council’s member states, but they set a legal precedent against which future lawsuits would be judged. The decisions have “the potential to be a watershed moment in the global fight for a livable future,” said Gerry Liston, a lawyer with the Global Legal Action Network. “A victory for any of the three cases marks one of the most significant developments on climate change since the signing of the Paris Agreement” Liston added.
