Die Klimaverhandlungen in Bonn #SB58 hatten das Ziel, den Boden für die kommende UN-Klimakonferenz #COP28 in Dubai vorzubereiten. "Bei den meisten Themen wurde auf der Stelle getreten, doch nicht alles ist gescheitert", sagt Klimaökonom Reimund Schwarze @ufz https://helmholtz-klima.de/aktuelles/bonner-klimaverhandlungen-nicht-alles-ist-gescheitert @helmholtz

Man ist bei den großen Knackpunkten nicht weitergekommen, aber sie liegen jetzt auf dem Tisch, sagt Christoph Bals zur #SB58 . Öl- und Gasländer haben in den vergangenen Jahren so viel verdient wie noch nie, sie wollen dieses Geschäftsmodell behalten.
Auf der anderen Seite sind Photovoltaik, Wind, Speichertechnologie so wettbewerbsfähig wie nie. Viele Länder wollen so ein neues Wohlstandsmodell schaffen.

Man hat sich auf ziemlich wenig verständigt, bis kurz vor Schluss noch nicht einmal auf eine Tagesordnung. Die kleine Klimakonferenz #SB58 in Bonn hat kaum Fortschritt gebracht. Die reichen Länder seien nur auf Chancen zum Geldverdienen aus, so das Climate Action Network. "Selbst wenn die Welt brennt, wollen sie damit noch Geld machen", sagt Harjeet Singh von CAN https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/zu-ambitionslos-bilanz-der-un-klimakonferenz-in-bonn-dlf-f7bc806b-100.html

Fatema Khafagy from Egypt points out how space for civil society is shrinking and how Arab women are facing double challenges such as climate injustice and gender injustice but most not be seen as victims only. „Justice cannot be achieved if it ignores more than half of the population!“ #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #ClimateChange #JustTransition #ClimateAction #GenderJustice #FeministClimateJustice #ClimateJustice #Feminist #TimeForAction #ActOnTheGap #MissingVoicesCop #ActNow

En este episodio Gabriela Ruales y Melissa Moreano del Colectivo de Geografía Crítica del Ecuador conversamos sobre la necesidad de identificar con claridad las causas de la crisis climática
para evitar caer en falsas soluciones y luchar por la verdadera solución: transformar el sistema de producción y consumo capitalista imperante, sostenido en estructuras patriarcales y en un patrón de poder colonial racista.

"Denmark only produces less than 0.1% of the world's oil. So clearly it's important that there are first movers like Denmark. But clearly we need to see some of the bigger oil & gas producers joining #BOGA or coming forward with clear end dates for oil and gas production."

"There are many other things that governments can also do. We know them. They need to stop investing.

They need to stop fossil fuel subsidies immediately.

And they also need to stop investing public money and particularly international public finance into fossil fuels."
