#US Continues to Finance #FossilFuel Projects Abroad Despite #COP26 Pledge https://truthout.org/articles/us-continues-to-finance-fossil-fuel-projects-abroad-despite-cop26-pledge/

Welcome to post-Brexit Britain: Conference centre for the world.

Britain has spent years seeking its place in the world after Brexit. Now it seems to have found a role ... as a global conference centre, where the great powers gather to talk.

Rishi Sunak’s government is in a summit-hosting ‘frenzy’ — but there are risks in playing compère.

Here some extracts of the article (to make you read it, it's totally worth 😉):

"While the global community congratulates itself on achieving what is politically possible, we cannot overlook the anemic nature of the agreement considering the magnitude of the problem. It will not avoid the death of millions – because they simply do not matter.” (Pulido, 2018, p. 128)
[...]
Ernstson and Swyngedouw (2019) termed the depoliticizing technocratic discourse that coexists with obscene capitalist accumulation and waste as the Anthropo-obscene (critiquing the totalizing banner of Anthropocene that homogenizes an undifferentiated humanity that does not exist).
[...]
A performance of diversion, delay, co-optation, and performativity without substance is repeated almost annually. Nonetheless, these are also spaces of opportunities to challenge the system, to utter necessary words for more people to hear, collectivize among young and old activists, learn from different positionalities, create new openings and possibilities of alliances – in other words, a repoliticization of climate instead of the depoliticized techno-economist utopias that never deliver.
[...]
আমরা কোথায় যাব, আমাদের কি ভবিষ্যৎ? আমরাকি হত্তছারা, পরিত্যক্ত? (Where will my people go, what future do we have? Must we remain abandoned, forsaken?) The disproportionate burden of climate damage is falling on formerly colonized and brutalized racialized communities in the developing world. We are still colonized, but this time through climate change, the development industry, and globalization. I feel an immense responsibility to do something. But no one is going to listen to someone like me, and even more importantly, more marginalized peoples, women and children, farmers and fisherfolk, writers and scholars. But we are all expected to be resilient because we have no choice.
[...]
Climate coloniality is perpetuated through global land and water grabs, REDD+ programs, neoliberal conservations projects, rare earth mineral mining, deforestation for growth, fossil fuel warfare, and new green revolutions for agriculture – which benefit a few while dispossessing larger numbers of historically-impoverished, often elsewhere.

"An area the size of Switzerland was cleared from Earth’s most pristine rainforests in 2022, despite promises by world leaders to halt their destruction, new figures show."

Revealed: how the Tory Cabinet Office sold #Cop26 to corporate sponsors https://www.newstatesman.com/business/2023/06/cabinet-office-sold-cop26-corporate-sponsors-climate-change

molto preoccupante l’analisi sugli scenari.

Anche raggiungendo COMPLETAMENTE e IN TEMPO i target degli NDCs (paris agreement) e gli accordi di #COP26 riusciremmo a limitare il riscaldamento globale a +1.7C.

Serve più impegno dalla politica. Non ci sono scuse

#oil&gas: nel 2021, alla #Cop26 di Glasgow, la metà dei paesi dell’Ocse aveva firmato una dichiarazione sul fatto che entro la fine del 2022 avrebbero smesso di finanziare nuovi progetti di #estrazione fuori dai propri confini. I promise-breakers sono Germania, #Italia e Stati Uniti, che hanno lasciato intatto il loro flusso da 13,7 miliardi di dollari verso l’apocalisse.

JETPs are a relatively new form of climate governance and financing, first established during #COP26 between a consortium of donor countries and South Africa. The aim is to provide grants and loans specifically for socially just energy transitions in the respective countries.

Fossil fuel subsidies climbed to a record high of more than $1 trillion globally according to new IEA estimates. Record amount of public money supporting record profits to private investors while simultaneously contributing to the destruction of our planet. 🤔 🔥 🤷‍♂️ #ClimateAction #COP26 #TaxTheRich #taxes #pollution #carbon

RT @JavierBlas
With great fanfare, the world agreed at the #COP26 climate change summit in 2021 to "phase-out [...] inefficient fossil fuel subsidies"

A year later, spending in fossil fuel consumption subsidies climbed to a record high of more than $1 trillion, according to new @IEA estimates

RT @PoliticoAnatomy: Under @RishiSunak , the Treasury also hired a £3,600 chauffeur service for ministers and officials visiting Cop26 in November 2021. The same chauffeur service was hired by Nadhim Zahawi’s department for £1,040 during his own trip to #COP26.

"Fighting for the forests in Eastern Congo"

The Congo Basin. A region threatened by the exploitation of its minerals, used for the production of "clean energy" technologies.
