Ils bétonnent nos terres, nous organisons la riposte. Face à plus de 600 projets polluants et imposés en France — autoroutes, bassines, aéroports ou fermes-usines — une autre bataille se joue, moins visible, mais redoutablement efficace : celle du droit. Ce manuel illustré, conçu par le collectif Terres de Luttes, révèle comment la justice peut devenir un levier de résistance. Décryptages, stratégies, jurisprudences, coups bas : le guide donne tous les éléments pour attaquer, bloquer, ralentir. C'est la première convocation pour Joël Domenjoud, militant écologiste de longue date, qui s'est fait connaître par la répression qu'il a subi (assigné à résidence pendant la COP21, en 2015), et militant à Bure, contre le projet d'enfouissement des déchets Nucléaires.

The EAH team unpacks multiple acronyms and endeavors with Nelson Monjarro, the lead coordinator of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) a public-private initiative bringing together the energy and maritime sectors to enable the establishment of Clean Energy Marine Hubs (CEM-Hubs) at ports worldwide. The CEM-Hubs initiative has nine Energy and Transport Ministries working together with leaders of the energy maritime value chain and key partner organisations.About Nelson Mojarro:Nelson specializes in international energy and innovation, advising shipowners and m port leaders on alternative fuels and innovation. He has over 15 years of experience in high-level international energy policy and diplomacy, technology & innovation investments, as well as decarbonization. In addition to CEM-Hubs, his work focuses on green acceleration, connecting green finance, data, innovation and energy for a net-zero world. As Representative of the Energy Sustainability Fund (£300M), based in Europe, Nelson led multi-million Euro international cooperation programs on clean energy innovation with the European Commission and the UK. He was a country delegate at COP21 in Paris and has participated in multiple COPs. He co-organised the COP28 Presidency CEO-Ministers meeting on energy and maritime in Dubai.Nelson was an Advisory Board member of the Initiative Partnering to Accelerate Sustainable Energy Innovation of the World Economic Forum (WEF), and Vice-Chair of the Committee for Energy Research and Technology (CERT) of the International Energy Agency (IEA).Nelson developed and coordinated the first government partnership on innovation with the Breakthrough Energy Coalition (BEC), a group of international investors led by Bill Gates, and initiated and launched the partnership between Mission Innovation, a multi-billion government initiative and the World Economic Forum (WEF) to advance clean energy innovation as well as business and government engagement. Nelson is a former OIES Saudi Aramco Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. He also holds an MA in Industry and Innovation Analysis and did his doctorate studies at The Science Policy Research Unit in Sussex, United Kingdom (SPRU).His research interests are related to technological change/innovation and energy transitions, particularly on the relationship between 'infrastructure change' and new 'green fuels'. He has published in academic journals about the use of biofuels in oil firms, such as BP, Shell, Petrobras and Pemex and was selected in 2013 as a Future Energy Fellow by Shell to write about Clean Energy for the Energy Collective.About CEM:The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum to promote policies and programmes that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. Initiatives are based on areas of common interest among participating governments and other stakeholders. The Framework for the Clean Energy Ministerial, reaffirmed at the twelfth Clean Energy Ministerial in 2021, defines the CEM governance structure and outlines the mission statement, objectives, membership, and guiding principles.

The CEM brings together a community of the world's largest and leading countries, companies and international experts to achieve one mission –accelerate clean energy transitions.The CEM is an international clean energy leadership platform, a convening platform, an action platform, and an acceleration platform. It serves as a platform, where its members help shape the global clean energy agenda, and advance the deployment of specific clean energy technologies and solutions. It is also a bottom-up, government-led community for exchanging knowledge and insights, building networks and partnerships, and facilitating coordinated actions on clean energy and an implementation vehicle that helps its members

Ten years after the historic climate agreement reached at COP21 in Paris, considerable progress has been made in areas ranging from energy efficiency and renewables deployment to electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, this progress is well below that required to deliver on the goals in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, and investment in clean energy remains uneven. As political headwinds increase, Brian Motherway considers what the past decade has taught us in terms of global engagement on climate and clean energy, and what we have learned in terms of engaging citizens and societies in the vital project of clean energy transitions. This event is part of the IIEA's REthink Energy series, organised in partnership with ESB, Ireland's state-owned electricity company. Speaker bio: Brian Motherway is Head of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Inclusive Transitions at the International Energy Agency. He oversees analytical and outreach programmes supporting energy efficiency globally. He also leads IEA's work with governments on people-centred policymaking, addressing issues such as skills, inclusion and fairness in clean energy policies. Prior to joining the IEA, Brian was Chief Executive of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.

Maxime Blondeau a le métier le plus passionnant du monde : il questionne les différentes manières de percevoir le territoire. En un mot, il est cosmographe. Un mot bien nouveau, pour penser le nouveau monde. Tous les matins, un rituel, écrire sur LinkedIn pour proposer un nouveau regard sur le territoire. Quels sont les récits, les croyances et les technologies qui influencent nos représentations du territoire ? On y répond dans cet épisode riche en apprentissages, qui mérite un petit stylo à portée de main pour prendre quelques notes.

How might we weave stories together as a response to ecological breakdown, using sound to connect to place?In this episode, I speak with Mike Edwards. Mike began his career researching climate change in the Southwest Pacific, where his work—cited by the IPCC—was among the first to explore ecocolonialism: how climate discourse is manipulated by the powerful to control those most affected. His research challenged dominant narratives, sparking debate among those reluctant to rethink the status quo. In 2015, he co-founded Sound Matters, pioneering work in sonic rewilding, regenerative soundscaping, and Integral Listening (IL). His book Soundscapes of Life is set for release in 2025. Beyond sound, Mike has been a Climate Change Advisor to The Elders Foundation, working with leaders like Kofi Annan and President Jimmy Carter ahead of COP21. He has lectured worldwide, led the Arts and Ecology programme at Dartington Arts, and founded InnerDigenous, a movement helping people reconnect with self and place for personal and planetary healing. We discuss:

A la fin de 2015, Paris accueillait la COP21, à l'issue de laquelle était signé un accord historique et ambitieux : l'ensemble des pays membres de la Convention-cadre des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques s'engageaient à maintenir le réchauffement au-dessous de 2 °C.Près de dix ans plus tard, les résultats ne sont pas au rendez-vous : l'année 2024 a été la plus chaude jamais enregistrée et les trajectoires climatiques prévoient un réchauffement autour de 3 °C, bien loin de l'objectif de 1,5 °C. En outre, la COP29, qui s'est tenue en novembre à Bakou, n'a pas rassuré quant à la capacité des différentes parties à s'entendre pour l'atteindre.Autre point qui soulève des critiques : l'accord qui a été conclu en Azerbaïdjan engage les pays développés à verser 300 milliards de dollars (293 milliards d'euros) par an aux pays en développement, pour les aider à s'adapter et à lutter contre le changement climatique. Un montant jugé largement insuffisant par les pays les plus vulnérables, qui ne se sont pas sentis écoutés au cours des négociations.Depuis plusieurs années, les critiques visant les COP climat se multiplient. Alors, à quoi servent-elles encore ? Faut-il les boycotter ou, au contraire, les réformer pour les rendre plus efficaces et, si oui, comment ? Réponses dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », avec Audrey Garric et Matthieu Goar, journalistes au service Planète du Monde, chargés des questions climatiques.Un épisode d'Adélaïde Tenaglia.

Welcome to this ClimateGenn episode recorded during COP29 in Baku, a conference unashamedly hijacked by the fossil fuel industry. John D. Liu is a renowned ecologist, filmmaker, and environmental advocate. Liu's later career has been dedicated to large-scale ecosystem restoration, emphasising the profound impact of natural regeneration in combating climate change. His pioneering work with the Ecosystem Restoration Camps and his advocacy for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration have made significant contributions to global environmental efforts. This discussion offers profound insights into reimagining our future through the lens of ecological restoration and sustainability. If you are concerned about the future then why not travel with me through every COP conference from COP21 in Paris to COP28 in Dubai, by ordering my book ‘COPOUT - How governments have failed the people on climate'. In COPOUT you'll gain insights into what actually is going on in these supposed world saving conferences and how we have ended up in this dire era of dangerous consequences. You can order COPOUT via the link in the notes or on any online bookstore worldwide in paperback and audio version. 2025 has opened with terrifying wildfires in Loss Angeles demonstrating that climate catastrophe is not only here but that it is tearing great holes in the fabric of our societies. I will be posting many more interviews and also adding many more archive interviews on key topics to the members area. Thank to you for listening, sharing and also to all subscribers for support.

Welcome to ClimateGenn. I recorded this interview with Professor Kevin Anderson via Zoom from Baku in the last days of COP29. Kevin provides some critical insights into how the headlines we often see reported breakdown from a numerical standpoint.  Although the COPs remain an important component of our overall global diplomatic approach to this complex existential problem, there are no signals that the promise of the Paris Agreement will be kept by the nations who repeatedly pledge to hold to it. So what do we do? Here Kevin offers a range of his insights. With the clock ticking, and human greed still in charge of the agenda, our collective agency and actions matter much more than we can ever imagine. Thank you for listening. There are many more episodes on the way. Please subscribe to support this work, or you can order my book COPOUT and join me on the journey from COP21 to COP28 to see how we have ended up in this mess and why we urgently need to break the pattern. Thank you.

Người dân ở Hà Nội có thêm tuyến đường sắt đô thị thứ hai trong hành trình "Giao thông nhanh cho tương lai xanh". Lễ vận hành thương mại tuyến số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội đoạn trên cao được tổ chức ngày 09/11/2024 sau ba tháng mở cửa đón khách. Là dự án mang tính biểu tượng cho quan hệ Việt - Pháp, tuyến số 3 được hai bên kỳ vọng tăng cường hợp tác song phương trong những dự án tương lai về phát triển đô thị bền vững và chuyển đổi năng lượng phát thải thấp. Tuyến đường sắt đô thị 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội : Biểu tượng cho hợp tác Việt - PhápThành công của đoạn trên cao cũng « chứng tỏ năng lực của toàn thể đội ngũ Pháp - Việt Nam trong việc triển khai tốt các dự án hạ tầng đầy tham vọng của lĩnh vực vận tải đường sắt », theo nhận định của đại sứ Olivier Brochet khi trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt :« Tuyến đường sắt đô thị số 3 thực sự là một dự án biểu tượng cho sự hợp tác Pháp-Việt vì dự án đã được khởi công từ cách đây khá lâu và đó cũng là một dự án phức tạp cần chút thời gian để hoàn thành. Việc tuyến đường được đưa vào hoạt động vào tháng 08/2024 đã được mọi người trông đợi. Chúng tôi rất vui. Trước tiên vì đây là một thành công lớn về kỹ thuật. Tuyến đường hoạt động rất tốt, chỉ trong một tháng đã có gần 1 triệu người ở Hà Nội sử dụng tàu điện. Có thể thấy là tuyến đường sắt này đã tìm được vị trí của mình. Đây là điểm đầu tiên cần phải nêu bật và chúng tôi rất vui.Tiếp theo là những mục tiêu. Phát triển bền vững giao thông đô thị là một thách thức đối với tất cả các thành phố lớn, dĩ nhiên là đối với cả Hà Nội và thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Chính phủ Việt Nam muốn phát triển những loại hình giao thông đô thị một cách năng động trong những năm tới. Còn chúng tôi mong muốn làm việc với chính phủ Việt Nam bởi vì trước hết, giao thông đô thị bền vững là điều rất quan trọng cho người dân, giúp cải thiện điều kiện lưu thông, điều kiện sống hàng ngày bằng cách giảm thời gian di chuyển cho họ. Việc này cũng quan trọng đối với thành phố bởi vì đây là cách giảm ô nhiễm, giảm tắc đường. Chúng ta thấy ở Hà Nội, tình hình thường xuyên ở ngưỡng ranh giới, nhất là về mặt ô nhiễm đô thị vẫn còn rất nghiêm trọng.Tiếp theo, tuyến tàu điện còn có vai trò quan trọng vì làm giảm khí phát thải CO2 trong giao thông vận tải. Đây là một thách thức cơ bản trong cuộc chiến chống tình trạng trái đất nóng lên. Các phương tiện giao thông, trên quy mô thế giới, chiếm gần 25% lượng khí phát thải. Trên khắp mọi nơi, người ta tìm cách làm giảm lượng khí này và cách tốt nhất là phát triển giao thông đô thị hiệu quả, hiện đại. Chúng tôi rất vui được giải quyết những thách thức này với chính phủ Việt Nam và chính quyền thành phố Hà Nội ».Không chỉ đơn thuần là phương tiện giao thông Ngay trong 5 ngày đầu khai thác thương mại (08-12/08), tuyến số 3 đã phá kỷ lục lượt khách trải nghiệm tuyến 2A Cát Linh - Hà Đông, thu hút gần 300.000 lượt khách, trong đó chỉ riêng ngày 11/08 có đến 100.000 lượt, gần gấp đôi con số 58.000 lượt trong ngày 01/05/2023 của tuyến 2A. Không chỉ giữ chức năng phương tiện giao thông công cộng, tuyến số 3 được đối tác Pháp muốn biến thành không gian thư giãn, sinh hoạt chung cho hành khách mà không nhàm chán, tẻ nhạt với việc đưa nghệ thuật vào các công trình giao thông. Đây cũng là một thế mạnh của Pháp và được triển khai rộng rãi trong hệ thống tàu điện ngầm Paris-Ile de France.Lần đầu tiên, một tác phẩm nghệ thuật công cộng được đặt tại nhà ga đường sắt đô thị. Tác phẩm Năm giờ sáng, Hà Nội thức giấc - Il est cinq heures, Hanoï s'éveille (lấy cảm hứng từ bài hát nổi tiếng Pháp Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille), được Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp - AFD tài trợ thông qua quỹ Metis và tặng thành phố Hà Nội, được đặt tại ga Cầu Giấy, đúng lễ vận hành thương mại đoạn trên cao và đặt biển khánh thành. Tác phẩm muốn truyền tải cùng lúc nhiều thông điệp về khuyến khích sử dụng giao thông công cộng, nhận thức về biến đổi khí hậu và chuyển đổi năng lượng, bảo tồn di sản văn hóa… Trong hành trình này, phía Pháp đã vận dụng rất nhiều công nghệ cao, hiện đại để tuyến số 3 xanh và bền vững, theo giải thích của đại sứ Olivier Brochet :« Cam kết của Pháp trong quá trình xây dựng tuyến đường số 3, trước tiên là thông qua việc tài trợ bởi vì gần 50 triệu euro ngân sách đã được huy động từ kho bạc Pháp hoặc từ Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp AFD. Nhưng cam kết của Pháp còn được thể hiện qua việc huy động tinh hoa của công nghệ Pháp về giao thông đường sắt đô thị. Có thể thấy rất nhiều tên tuổi lớn trong lĩnh vực công nghệ Pháp, như Alstom, Colas Rail, Systra - một công ty kỹ thuật tổng hợp, RATP Smart Systems… Tất cả những doanh nghiệp lớn của Pháp đều có kinh nghiệm dày dặn tại Pháp. Điều này được thấy trong kỳ Thế Vận Hội, các phương tiện giao thông đô thị đã đóng vai trò chủ đạo trong thành công của đại hội thể thao này. Những doanh nghiệp đó cũng được huy động trong dự án xây dựng mạng lưới Paris Express, hiện là dự án lớn nhất về giao thông đô thị ở châu Âu cho đến hiện nay. Người ta cũng thấy những doanh nghiệp lớn này của Pháp trong tất cả các dự án tàu điện trên thế giới, như ở Cairo (Ai Cập), ở Medellín (Colombia), ở Rabat (Maroc)… Và tất cả đều đang phục vụ tại Hà Nội và dĩ nhiên chúng tôi mong muốn phát triển thêm trong những dự án mới mà chính phủ Việt Nam dự kiến tiến hành trong những năm tới ».Triển vọng hợp tác mới về giao thông vận tảiDự án khởi công năm 2009, theo kế hoạch hoàn thành năm 2015 nhưng nhiều lần lùi tiến độ và dự kiến hoàn thành năm 2027, riêng đoạn trên cao đã được khai thác thương mại từ tháng 08/2024. Tổng vốn đầu tư cũng bị tăng gấp đôi, từ hơn 18.000 tỉ đồng lên gần 36.000 tỉ đồng. Liệu những điểm này có trở thành một trở ngại trong khi Pháp cho biết sẵn sàng đồng hành với Việt Nam trong những dự án trong tương lai ? Trả lời thắc mắc của RFI Tiếng Việt, đại sứ Olivier Brochet giải thích :« Những dự án lớn này đều là những dự án vô cùng phức tạp ở khắp mọi nơi, phức tạp về mặt công nghệ, phức tạp trong việc triển khai công trường bởi vì cần phải xây dựng những công trường quy mô lớn ở một thành phố mà cuộc sống vẫn tiếp diễn theo nhịp độ thông thường, phức tạp về mặt cơ chế, thực hiện các quy định mới của Nhà nước thiết lập các hệ thống này. Vì tất cả những lý do tích tụ này dẫn đến những chậm trễ. Và tất cả các tuyến đường sắt đã được xây dựng đều bị chậm. Tuyến số 1 ở đây chẳng hạn cũng bị khởi công muộn. Tuyến mới ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, được hợp tác xây dựng với Nhật Bản, cũng bị trễ. Đây là việc bình thường vì cần phải có thời gian học tập. Điều quan trọng hiện nay là có thể sử dụng quãng thời gian học tập đó để tiết kiệm thời gian sau này, qua việc đã có những tác nhân hiểu rõ vấn đề, hiểu những trông đợi, nhu cầu của mỗi bên để có thể có những dự án tiến triển nhanh hơn, sớm mang lại kết quả và đến lúc đó sẽ cho phép làm chủ chi phí tốt hơn. Chính vì thế mà chúng tôi đã đề xuất với chính phủ Việt Nam là bắt đầu suy nghĩ luôn đến việc kéo dài tuyến số 3. Có nghĩa là không phải công trình ngầm đã được khởi công và đang tiến triển mà ngay từ bây giờ, nên bắt đầu chuẩn bị cho việc kéo dài tuyến. Bởi vì nếu dự tính sớm thì sẽ giúp triển khai công việc tiếp theo sau khi hoàn thành công trình ngầm và như vậy sẽ tránh được các chi phí bổ sung liên quan đến việc giải thể các công ty tham gia xây dựng tuyến số 3 ».Trong chuyến công du Pháp của chủ tịch nước Việt Nam kiêm tổng bí thư Tô Lâm từ ngày 03-07/10/2024, hai nước bày tỏ mong muốn tiếp tục hợp tác trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải hướng tới giảm phát thải carbon thông qua « Bản ghi nhớ hợp tác trong lĩnh vực Giao thông Vận tải ». Theo bộ trưởng Giao thông Vận tải Nguyễn Văn Thắng, « đây cũng là lĩnh vực mà Việt Nam hết sức quan tâm nhằm thực hiện các cam kết tại Hội nghị lần thứ 21 Công ước khung của Liên Hiệp Quốc về biến đổi khí hậu (COP21) và COP26 (phát thải ròng bằng 0 vào năm 2050) trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải ».Thực ra, theo trang Facebook Thông tin Chính phủ ngày 07/10, Việt Nam và Pháp đã phối hợp hoàn thành một số dự án trong lĩnh vực đường sắt, như hệ thống thông tin tín hiệu đường sắt đoạn Hà Nội - Vinh do tập đoàn Alstom và đối tác Việt Nam triển khai ; dự án Cải tạo và nâng cấp tuyến đường sắt Yên Viên - Lào Cai do Ngân hàng Phát triển châu Á và Pháp đồng tài trợ.Ngoài dự án đường sắt đô thị Nhổn - ga Hà Nội, bộ Giao thông Vận tải đã đề nghị Đại sứ quán Pháp tại Việt Nam và cơ quan AFD nghiên cứu cung cấp « Hỗ trợ kỹ thuật lập Báo cáo nghiên cứu tiền khả thi Dự án cải tạo, hiện đại hóa tuyến đường sắt Hà Nội - Hải Phòng », có xét đến tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng được xây dựng mới trong tương lai. Báo Chính phủ ngày 04/11 cho biết Cục Đường sắt Việt Nam (trực thuộc bộ Giao thông Vận tải) đã trình hồ sơ Quy hoạch tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh đi qua 10 tỉnh/thành phố.Cơ quan AFD, hiện là nhà tài trợ song phương lớn nhất khu vực châu Âu của Việt Nam, cũng được kêu gọi tiếp tục trao đổi, tìm kiếm cơ hội hợp tác trong các dự án đường sắt tại Việt Nam thời gian tới. Ông Philippe Orliange, giám đốc Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp tại Việt Nam, khẳng định AFD sẵn sàng chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và hỗ trợ vốn vay cho Việt Nam trong việc xây dựng và phát triển đường sắt cao tốc, lĩnh vực mà Pháp có thế mạnh và Việt Nam đang đặc biệt quan tâm, mong muốn thực hiện trong thời gian tới.Liệu thành công của tuyến đường sắt đô thị số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội tiếp thêm sức bật cho những dự án mới ? Dù sao, theo bản ghi nhớ ký tại Paris, Việt Nam và Pháp dự định hợp tác trong các lĩnh vực đường sắt, hàng hải và đường thủy nội địa ; tạo thuận lợi cho chuyển đổi năng lượng, giảm phát thải, tăng cường khả năng chống chịu và phục hồi, thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu… Đây cũng là những lĩnh vực hợp tác truyền thống và rất năng động giữa hai nước từ nhiều năm qua.

Người dân ở Hà Nội có thêm tuyến đường sắt đô thị thứ hai trong hành trình "Giao thông nhanh cho tương lai xanh". Lễ vận hành thương mại tuyến số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội đoạn trên cao được tổ chức ngày 09/11/2024 sau ba tháng mở cửa đón khách. Là dự án mang tính biểu tượng cho quan hệ Việt - Pháp, tuyến số 3 được hai bên kỳ vọng tăng cường hợp tác song phương trong những dự án tương lai về phát triển đô thị bền vững và chuyển đổi năng lượng phát thải thấp.

Những doanh nghiệp đó cũng được huy động trong dự án xây dựng mạng lưới Paris Express, hiện là dự án lớn nhất về giao thông đô thị ở châu Âu cho đến hiện nay. Người ta cũng thấy những doanh nghiệp lớn này của Pháp trong tất cả các dự án tàu điện trên thế giới, như ở Cairo (Ai Cập), ở Medellín (Colombia), ở Rabat (Maroc)… Và tất cả đều đang phục vụ tại Hà Nội và dĩ nhiên chúng tôi mong muốn phát triển thêm trong những dự án mới mà chính phủ Việt Nam dự kiến tiến hành trong những năm tới ».Triển vọng hợp tác mới về giao thông vận tảiDự án khởi công năm 2009, theo kế hoạch hoàn thành năm 2015 nhưng nhiều lần lùi tiến độ và dự kiến hoàn thành năm 2027, riêng đoạn trên cao đã được khai thác thương mại từ tháng 08/2024. Tổng vốn đầu tư cũng bị tăng gấp đôi, từ hơn 18.000 tỉ đồng lên gần 36.000 tỉ đồng. Liệu những điểm này có trở thành một trở ngại trong khi Pháp cho biết sẵn sàng đồng hành với Việt Nam trong những dự án trong tương lai ? Trả lời thắc mắc của RFI Tiếng Việt, đại sứ Olivier Brochet giải thích :« Những dự án lớn này đều là những dự án vô cùng phức tạp ở khắp mọi nơi, phức tạp về mặt công nghệ, phức tạp trong việc triển khai công trường bởi vì cần phải xây dựng những công trường quy mô lớn ở một thành phố mà cuộc sống vẫn tiếp diễn theo nhịp độ thông thường, phức tạp về mặt cơ chế, thực hiện các quy định mới của Nhà nước thiết lập các hệ thống này. Vì tất cả những lý do tích tụ này dẫn đến những chậm trễ. Và tất cả các tuyến đường sắt đã được xây dựng đều bị chậm. Tuyến số 1 ở đây chẳng hạn cũng bị khởi công muộn. Tuyến mới ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, được hợp tác xây dựng với Nhật Bản, cũng bị trễ. Đây là việc bình thường vì cần phải có thời gian học tập. Điều quan trọng hiện nay là có thể sử dụng quãng thời gian học tập đó để tiết kiệm thời gian sau này, qua việc đã có những tác nhân hiểu rõ vấn đề, hiểu những trông đợi, nhu cầu của mỗi bên để có thể có những dự án tiến triển nhanh hơn, sớm mang lại kết quả và đến lúc đó sẽ cho phép làm chủ chi phí tốt hơn. Chính vì thế mà chúng tôi đã đề xuất với chính phủ Việt Nam là bắt đầu suy nghĩ luôn đến việc kéo dài tuyến số 3. Có nghĩa là không phải công trình ngầm đã được khởi công và đang tiến triển mà ngay từ bây giờ, nên bắt đầu chuẩn bị cho việc kéo dài tuyến. Bởi vì nếu dự tính sớm thì sẽ giúp triển khai công việc tiếp theo sau khi hoàn thành công trình ngầm và như vậy sẽ tránh được các chi phí bổ sung liên quan đến việc giải thể các công ty tham gia xây dựng tuyến số 3 ».Trong chuyến công du Pháp của chủ tịch nước Việt Nam kiêm tổng bí thư Tô Lâm từ ngày 03-07/10/2024, hai nước bày tỏ mong muốn tiếp tục hợp tác trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải hướng tới giảm phát thải carbon thông qua « Bản ghi nhớ hợp tác trong lĩnh vực Giao thông Vận tải ». Theo bộ trưởng Giao thông Vận tải Nguyễn Văn Thắng, « đây cũng là lĩnh vực mà Việt Nam hết sức quan tâm nhằm thực hiện các cam kết tại Hội nghị lần thứ 21 Công ước khung của Liên Hiệp Quốc về biến đổi khí hậu (COP21) và COP26 (phát thải ròng bằng 0 vào năm 2050) trong lĩnh vực giao thông vận tải ».Thực ra, theo trang Facebook Thông tin Chính phủ ngày 07/10, Việt Nam và Pháp đã phối hợp hoàn thành một số dự án trong lĩnh vực đường sắt, như hệ thống thông tin tín hiệu đường sắt đoạn Hà Nội - Vinh do tập đoàn Alstom và đối tác Việt Nam triển khai ; dự án Cải tạo và nâng cấp tuyến đường sắt Yên Viên - Lào Cai do Ngân hàng Phát triển châu Á và Pháp đồng tài trợ.Ngoài dự án đường sắt đô thị Nhổn - ga Hà Nội, bộ Giao thông Vận tải đã đề nghị Đại sứ quán Pháp tại Việt Nam và cơ quan AFD nghiên cứu cung cấp « Hỗ trợ kỹ thuật lập Báo cáo nghiên cứu tiền khả thi Dự án cải tạo, hiện đại hóa tuyến đường sắt Hà Nội - Hải Phòng », có xét đến tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng được xây dựng mới trong tương lai. Báo Chính phủ ngày 04/11 cho biết Cục Đường sắt Việt Nam (trực thuộc bộ Giao thông Vận tải) đã trình hồ sơ Quy hoạch tuyến đường sắt Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh đi qua 10 tỉnh/thành phố.Cơ quan AFD, hiện là nhà tài trợ song phương lớn nhất khu vực châu Âu của Việt Nam, cũng được kêu gọi tiếp tục trao đổi, tìm kiếm cơ hội hợp tác trong các dự án đường sắt tại Việt Nam thời gian tới. Ông Philippe Orliange, giám đốc Cơ quan Phát triển Pháp tại Việt Nam, khẳng định AFD sẵn sàng chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và hỗ trợ vốn vay cho Việt Nam trong việc xây dựng và phát triển đường sắt cao tốc, lĩnh vực mà Pháp có thế mạnh và Việt Nam đang đặc biệt quan tâm, mong muốn thực hiện trong thời gian tới.Liệu thành công của tuyến đường sắt đô thị số 3 Nhổn - ga Hà Nội tiếp thêm sức bật cho những dự án mới ? Dù sao, theo bản ghi nhớ ký tại Paris, Việt Nam và Pháp dự định hợp tác trong các lĩnh vực đường sắt, hàng hải và đường thủy nội địa ; tạo thuận lợi cho chuyển đổi năng lượng, giảm phát thải, tăng cường khả năng chống chịu và phục hồi, thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu… Đây cũng là những lĩnh vực hợp tác truyền thống và rất năng động giữa hai nước từ nhiều năm qua.

Speaking at the COP 29 climate change conference in Baku this morning, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said his country's share in global gas emissions is only 0.1%. He criticized Western fake news media NGOs for spreading disinformation and called oil, gas and other natural resources a "gift of God"  saying countries should not be blamed for having them or bringing them to the market. Just last week, it was projected that 2024 would be the first year to breach the 1.5 degrees celsius  global warming limit set 9 years ago in the Paris agreement at COP21. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with leading environmentalist Prof Alon Tal from Tel Aviv University and the former head of the Knesset environment sub committee, and asked if this means the  effort to combat global warming is failing?

In episode 132 of the Business Development Podcast, host Kelly Kennedy engages in an enlightening conversation with Sean Collins, CEO of Varme Energy Canada, focusing on the transformation of waste to energy and the future of sustainable energy solutions. The discussion begins with an overview of Collins' significant contributions to the energy sector, emphasizing his 15 years of experience in renewable energy project development and leadership in sustainability initiatives. Highlighting Collins' journey, the podcast delves into his pioneering efforts in geothermal energy, the founding of impactful platforms such as Terrapin Geothermics and Student Energy, and his advocacy for sustainable development on global stages like the COP21 in Paris. It portrays Collins as a relentless advocate for the environmental sector, showcasing his contributions towards creating a greener, more sustainable future through technological innovation and leadership.The episode further explores the innovative work of Varme Energy Canada under Collins' leadership, particularly the development of specialized waste-to-energy carbon capture and storage projects. This segment focuses on Collins' vision for a future where energy generation mitigates environmental impact, detailing the process of converting waste to energy and capturing carbon dioxide emissions. The conversation reflects on the challenges and achievements in the journey toward sustainability, emphasizing the interconnection between ambitious goals and tangible outcomes in the fight against climate change. By presenting Collins' perspective on the necessity of global participation in environmental conservation efforts and the role of Canada in leading by example, the podcast calls for ambition and action towards a sustainable and energy-efficient future.Key Takeaways: 1. Waste to energy involves combusting garbage to produce electricity, with the added benefit of carbon capture.2. Waste to energy facilities aim to be landfill-free and carbon-free solutions.3. Carbon capture involves using amine solvent to capture CO2 from exhaust gas, which is then compressed into a pipeline and sequestered underground.4. The process of waste to energy and carbon capture can generate high-quality carbon credits.5. Climate change is causing significant shifts in weather patterns and air quality, leading to longer and more intense wildfire seasons.6. The impact of forest fires on emissions is substantial and needs to be addressed in national emissions reduction strategies.7. There is a need for more attention on macro-level environmental issues rather than inconsequential consumer decisions.8. Geothermal energy is the only renewable energy source that involves drilling for heat and presents natural competitive advantages for Alberta.9. The transition from landfill waste disposal to waste to energy solutions is a significant step towards sustainable energy production.10. Carbon capture technology has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes.

Dr Dan Price is a glaciologist with research work focussing on Antarctic sea ice thickness with satellite and airborne sensors. He has been to Antarctica 8 times for both scientific research and program and logistical support. He developed crevasse avoidance techniques for heavy vehicle traverses across the world's largest ice shelf- the Ross Ice Shelf which is roughly the size of France. This involved finding a new 1,000km long route across the West Antarctica using novel satellite techniques. Dan took this theoretical investigation and was able to put it in to practise in Antarctica with his participation in the initial traverse. Dan has now driven across the Ross Ice Shelf 6 times. In 2015 he led a campaign called Pole to Paris to draw attention to the COP21 climate conference. He cycled a push bike from New Zealand to France over an 8 month period passing though more than 18 countries. During this expedition he gave presentations about the threat of climate change to people who will most likely be affected by sea level rise. He is currently the Chief Scientist for Christchurch based aerospace company Kea Aerospace, who are developing high altitude solar powered aircraft for earth observation. These initiatives will enhance our ability to respond to natural disasters by reducing the time it takes to assess impacts and damage from these events. Dan remains involved in sea ice research at Gateway Antarctica at the University of Canterbury and plans to launch a project to undertake the largest sea ice study ever conducted in Antarctica by flying a sea ice measuring instrument 5,000km from New Zealand's Scott Base to Australia's Casey Station. Dan has a bachelor of science from Cardiff University in Marine Sciences and a doctorate (PhD) in sea ice remote sensing from the University of Canterbury. He's an Edmund Hillary Fellow and is actively involved in not for profit organisations.

Data centres centers used to have power demand measured in the tens of megawatts. Now they are in the hundreds of megawatts, and the new ones that are being proposed have demand in the thousands of megawatts: gigawatts. At Distributech in Feburary, Harry Sideris of Duke Energy said it used to be a big deal when they had a customer wanting to add 10MW or 20MW of load. Now they have several planned data centers for AI needing 1000MW each. How is this additional demand being met? According to Duke, with a lot more renewables, more gas, and eventually more nuclear. What does that mean for net zero goals? Despite the growth in renewable energy sources, the anticipated 25% increase in gas-fired generation over the next 15 years in the US raises concerns for achieving net zero, especially when compared to the expected triple-digit growth rates for onshore wind and utility-scale solar. On this episode of Wood Mackenzie's The Energy Gang, Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Myers-Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, who returns to the show to explore the feasible paths to net zero in light of increased energy demand. Also joining this week is Samantha Gross, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution. Together they debate the plans for demand management, and stocktake on global warming goals set at the Paris Agreement.Is it time to give up on the 1.5 degree target? The world looks like crossing the threshold set in 2015 at COP21 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, to mitigate and ultimately avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. John Kerry, who just stepped down as President Joe Biden's climate envoy, said recently that the world was on course for more like 2.5 degrees of warming. Many businesses still have alignment with a 1.5 degree scenario as part of their climate goals but we've just experienced a year of temperatures more than 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. And finally, the EV market is – contrary to popular opinion – doing just fine. In China, things are more than fine; prices are falling and sales are skyrocketing. Sales of what China calls “new energy vehicles” – that is, battery electrics, plug-in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles – were up 37.5% in the first two months of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023. In that period – January and February of 2024 – those New Energy Vehicles took 33.5% of the car market. The prices are on the way down too. Reuters has calculated that BYD has cut the prices of its EVs by an average of 17%. What does this mean for the US market?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

rWotD Episode 2483: Gerhard Ertl Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Tuesday, 20 February 2024 is Gerhard Ertl.Gerhard Ertl (German pronunciation: [ˈɡeːɐ̯haʁt ˈɛʁtl̩] ; born 10 October 1936) is a German physicist and a Professor emeritus at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin, Germany. Ertl's research laid the foundation of modern surface chemistry, which has helped explain how fuel cells produce energy without pollution, how catalytic converters clean up car exhausts and even why iron rusts, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.His work has paved the way for development of cleaner energy sources and will guide the development of fuel cells, said Astrid Graslund, secretary of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.He was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces. The Nobel academy said Ertl provided a detailed description of how chemical reactions take place on surfaces. His findings applied in both academic studies and industrial development, the academy said. “Surface chemistry can even explain the destruction of the ozone layer, as vital steps in the reaction actually take place on the surfaces of small crystals of ice in the stratosphere,” the award citation reads.In 2015, Ertl signed the Mainau Declaration 2015 on Climate Change on the final day of the 65th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. The declaration was signed by a total of 76 Nobel Laureates and handed to then-President of the French Republic, François Hollande, as part of the COP21 climate summit in Paris.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Tuesday, 20 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Gerhard Ertl on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Danielle Neural.

Guest post by Dana R. Fisher. Excerpted from Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action by Dana R. Fisher (Columbia University Press, 2024). Despite numerous efforts to address the climate crisis at multiple levels of governance, policymaking has been ineffective at bringing about the emissions reductions necessary to limit global warming below the 1.5°C threshold identified by the IPCC and codified in the Paris Agreement. So many Climate Promises The call for more commitments from nations and businesses comes on top of growing concerns about the feasibility of the implementation of existing climate pledges. The UN secretary-general said the Sixth Assessment Report from IPCC Working Group 3 on mitigation documents "'a litany of broken climate promises' by governments and businesses." In short, even when countries do commit to climate goals, they are not following through on these commitments. While countries vary substantially regarding their institutional makeup, these broken promises are apparent in most nations where adequate climate action continues to be out of reach. In the United States, for example, the country is expected to overshoot its original climate commitments set by President Barack Obama at the COP21 round of the climate negotiations in Paris in 2015. These targets were classified as "insufficient" by the independent scientific team at Climate Action Tracker to keep global warming below 3°C. In 2021, the Biden administration submitted an updated commitment prior to the COP26 round of negotiations that increases the country's pledge and gets the United States closer to achieving the emissions reduction goals of the Paris Agreement. And finally, after years of failed attempts to pass climate legislation through the U.S. Congress and months of stops and starts, the Inflation Reduction Act, which aims to address climate change along with other issues, passed and was signed into law in August 2022. Although the United States having a federal climate policy that was approved by both the Congress and the president after so long is cause for celebration, this bill only made it to President Biden's desk for signature due to giveaways to the fossil fuel industry that were brokered by West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. And, even with this new policy, the country is still not on a path to fulfill its climate commitments that would stabilize global warming at the 1.5° threshold set by the Paris Agreement. Outside the United States, it is not much better. Although many other developed countries have filed Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that indicate plans to reduce their emissions in line with the IPCC's targets, the implementation of policies that achieve these intended goals are few and far between. Since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022, many countries have found meeting their climate goals even more challenging. While country responses have been insufficient, business efforts have been bipolar. In contrast to the swift and effective global response to ozone depletion, where a technological fix was discovered and companies encouraged governments to implement it, the climate crisis has no silver bullet. To date, companies representing non-carbon-emitting energy sources and technologies continue to butt heads against entrenched business interests that support an economy run on fossil fuels. Recent research has documented the fact that fossil fuel companies have been well aware since the 1970s that burning fossil fuels would lead to a climate crisis. Instead of acting on that information to limit the risk of a crisis, companies buried their findings and misled the public so they could continue to expand their businesses. At the same time that fossil fuel expansion continues, many companies and governments are investing heavily in the development of technology that will either remove carbon from the atmosphere or reduce solar absorption through geoengineering. Fossil fuel companies are t...

In 2015, representatives from all countries attending COP21 agreed to limit global average temperature rise to well below 2.0 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial levels and to aim for a 1.5 degree rise. Flash forward less than a decade, and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office is forecasting the average annual temperature for 2024 to likely be more than 1.5 degrees warmer than pre-Industrial levels. As the world continues to break annual, monthly, and daily temperature records, what does it mean that we're now exceeding the 1.5 degree threshold so soon after the Paris Agreement? To help us understand the importance of this forecast, Dr. Nick Dunstone, leader of the Climate Dynamics Group at the Met Office and one of the scientists that conducted the forecast, joins the show to discuss what it means that 2024 may exceed the 1.5 degree threshold, the factors causing the record-breaking temperature, and what people and policymakers should take away from this historic milestone. Dr. Richard Betts, Head of the Climate Impacts Strategic Area at the Met Office, is also on today's episode to discuss his team's recent forecast of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. As CO2 emissions continue to rise, it's no surprise that temperatures continue to rise as well. Dr. Betts helps explain the factors that contribute to 2024's record increase in CO2 concentration and provide context to this year's forecast.

Sumi Jaladas crawled out from a doorway on her hands and knees and kneeled in the dirt in front of her corrugated steel home to watch her neighbors in the small village of Jela Para. It had just stopped raining and many women and children were out playing and dancing along a muddy, brick walkway. Most of the men were away fishing in the nearby Bay of Bengal.   Sumi Jaladas says if her village has to escape rising water, she's dependent on her family to bring her to safety.   Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World Jaladas, 40, said she's never been able to walk. She uses a wheelchair but said she doesn't have the upper-body strength to use it on her own. To travel outside the neighborhood, she relies on a sibling to push her.Jela Para, part of the Sitakund municipality located in Bangladesh's southeastern Chattogram District, is prone to tropical cyclones and floods. When disaster strikes, villagers may need to evacuate quickly to a storm shelter or higher ground.  For someone like Jaladas, the thought of having to suddenly flee to escape rising water can be horrifying.Jaladas, who is unmarried, lives with one of her brothers and his family, and helps out with cooking. She said this is not an ideal situation, but feels that due to her disabilities, she would not be able to survive anywhere else.“I'd like to live in a better place and have my own home,” she said. “But, I also can't see well, so I can't make handicrafts or sew.” She said her brother is responsible for saving her life in an emergency situation.“It scares me. If my brother evacuates me, then I can evacuate, otherwise I just have to stay inside my house.”Sumi Jaladas, 40“It scares me,” she said. “If my brother evacuates me, then I can evacuate, otherwise I just have to stay inside my house.” Jaladas said she has no choice but to follow her brother's decisions. Sea-level rise and strong storms threaten communities across Bangladesh with extreme flooding. Global warming has exacerbated the threat, ruining farmland in coastal regions and compelling many to seek work and safety in other parts of the country.Over 13 million Bangladeshis could be displaced by climate change by 2050, according to a United Nations report.  Mohammad al-Amin, an environmental scientist at the University of Chittagong, said he has seen cyclones and tidal surges “totally wipe out” villages. An inlet in the Bay of Bengal in the Chattogram District causes a funneling effect, he explained, intensifying storms that have already gained strength due to warming ocean temperatures.   While these disasters endanger everyone, Amin said senior citizens and people with a disability are more likely to die. “They are the most vulnerable,” he said. Just over a billion people worldwide — 1 in 5 people — have some kind of physical, sensory or developmental disability. In many countries, including Bangladesh, numerous educational, economic and social barriers limit or prevent inclusion, which often extends into disaster management and recovery.Amin says that during climate-related emergencies, many people become concerned with saving themselves.  “They [people with disabilities] might be forgotten, it might not be possible to carry them to a cyclone shelter, which could be 3 to 5 kilometers [2 to 3 miles] away from their homes.”Nur Nobi, who is blind, always assumed his family would guide him to safety during such an emergency. But during a cyclone evacuation several years ago, he suddenly found himself alone.  "They left through the back door and forgot about me.”Nur Nobi, 51, disability advocate“I was in the front room of my house while my wife and children were preparing to evacuate to a cyclone shelter,” the 51-year-old said. “But, they left through the back door and forgot about me.” During a cyclone evacuation, Nur Nobi's family forgot about him as they fled to a storm shelter. Credit: Kazi Riasat Alve/The World He said it was too dangerous for him to evacuate to a cyclone shelter on his own due to the high winds blowing around debris and powerlines. Nobi asked a neighbor to help locate his family. Later, one of his daughters returned home and brought him to the shelter.  Nobi, who heads a disability advocacy group in the rural Sitakund district, said that despite the risks, relocation to a city is not possible for many people with disabilities. There aren't many job opportunities and physically getting around a small town can be easier, he said.Nobi said there are measures the government could take that would make it safer for people with disabilities during a climate-related disaster.  “There should be sign language interpreters to assist deaf people during evacuations,” Nobi said. “And people with a disability should be prioritized for evacuations ahead of a cyclone, and officials should take them to a shelter.”   Selina Akter, the mother of two severely disabled children in the village of Mirsharai, said that emergency transportation could alleviate the burden of having to make a difficult decision should they need to evacuate.  “Which child should I carry, this one or that one?”Selina Akter, mother of two severely disabled children“What else can I do, can I evacuate both of my children together by myself?” Akter said. “Which child should I carry, this one or that one?”  Selina Akter doesn't know how she'd be able to protect her two disabled children if a cyclone strikes her village. Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World She said that if they had to evacuate the village while her husband was away, she doesn't know how they would survive.  “If Allah [God] allows, I'll be able to evacuate my two children, otherwise I'll die here,” she said. Akter said she is unaware of any assistance for people with disabilities during emergencies.Bangladesh's national disaster management protocol and other laws are, in fact, “highly disability inclusive,” said Vashkar Bhattacharjee, a Chattogram-based disability rights advocate.The problem, he said,  is at the “implementation level.”Disability inclusion is “on the agenda of the Bangladesh government,” he said, but added that these provisions are mainly just “on paper.”Bhattacharjee, who is blind and advises the government on accessibility, said the effects of climate change on people with disabilities is still largely misunderstood by policymakers in Bangladesh. Vashkar Bhattacharjee says more research is needed to better understand the ways that climate change impacts people with disabilities.  Credit: Kazi Riasat Alve/The World But he cannot completely fault authorities, he said. Disability advocates and analysts also need to raise more awareness about this issue. He suggests more research and studies in this area, especially looking at how global warming affects women and Indigenous people with disabilities.Bhattacharjee, who participated in the COP21 climate conference in Paris, said that the organizations involved often exclude people who live in areas where severe weather poses the greatest threats. “People with disabilities who are directly impacted by climate change, their voices are not going in."Vashkar Bhattacharjee, disability rights advocate“People with disabilities who are directly impacted by climate change, their voices are not going in,” he said. “We need to connect these rural people into the national and international discussions.” Jahedul Islam, a 22-year-old university student, is working to ensure that no one with disabilities gets left behind in a climate emergency. Islam lives on the island of Sandwip, in the Bay of Bengal, where coastal erosion has displaced families for decades. Now, observers say stronger storms, floods and sea-level rise are worsening these risks. A powerful storm washed away Sandwip Island's downtown. Sea-level rise and cyclones made worse by global warming put communities at greater risk.  Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World Islam was born with a condition that affects how he walks, but he is able to go up the flight of steps that lead to the second floor of a municipal  building that doubles as a cyclone shelter.Islam said there are only a couple places like this on the island. “Some people with a disability never leave their homes ... But, sometimes, there's no other choice than to bring them to a cyclone shelter.”Jahedul Islam, 22, disability rights advocate“Some people with a disability never leave their homes,” he said. “But, sometimes, there's no other choice than to bring them to a cyclone shelter.”   Jahedul Islam started a volunteer organization on Sandwip that transports people with limited mobility to storm shelters. Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World Three years ago, Islam started an organization that dispatches volunteers to the homes of elderly residents, people with disabilities or anyone else who needs help when a storm strikes. They're brought to safer places via motorbike taxis.  “Weather conditions change so rapidly, every half an hour or hour, " he said. “If I'm outside my home and a storm happens, if there's not a shelter nearby, I wouldn't know where to go.”  And for some, that's a matter of life or death.Editor's note: Jason Strother's reporting was supported by the National Geographic Society. Kazi Riasat Alve and Sharif Ferdous Arko contributed to this story.

She said this is not an ideal situation, but feels that due to her disabilities, she would not be able to survive anywhere else.“I'd like to live in a better place and have my own home,” she said. “But, I also can't see well, so I can't make handicrafts or sew.” She said her brother is responsible for saving her life in an emergency situation.“It scares me. If my brother evacuates me, then I can evacuate, otherwise I just have to stay inside my house.”Sumi Jaladas, 40“It scares me,” she said. “If my brother evacuates me, then I can evacuate, otherwise I just have to stay inside my house.” Jaladas said she has no choice but to follow her brother's decisions. Sea-level rise and strong storms threaten communities across Bangladesh with extreme flooding. Global warming has exacerbated the threat, ruining farmland in coastal regions and compelling many to seek work and safety in other parts of the country.Over 13 million Bangladeshis could be displaced by climate change by 2050, according to a United Nations report.  Mohammad al-Amin, an environmental scientist at the University of Chittagong, said he has seen cyclones and tidal surges “totally wipe out” villages. An inlet in the Bay of Bengal in the Chattogram District causes a funneling effect, he explained, intensifying storms that have already gained strength due to warming ocean temperatures.   While these disasters endanger everyone, Amin said senior citizens and people with a disability are more likely to die. “They are the most vulnerable,” he said. Just over a billion people worldwide — 1 in 5 people — have some kind of physical, sensory or developmental disability. In many countries, including Bangladesh, numerous educational, economic and social barriers limit or prevent inclusion, which often extends into disaster management and recovery.Amin says that during climate-related emergencies, many people become concerned with saving themselves.  “They [people with disabilities] might be forgotten, it might not be possible to carry them to a cyclone shelter, which could be 3 to 5 kilometers [2 to 3 miles] away from their homes.”Nur Nobi, who is blind, always assumed his family would guide him to safety during such an emergency. But during a cyclone evacuation several years ago, he suddenly found himself alone.  "They left through the back door and forgot about me.”Nur Nobi, 51, disability advocate“I was in the front room of my house while my wife and children were preparing to evacuate to a cyclone shelter,” the 51-year-old said. “But, they left through the back door and forgot about me.” During a cyclone evacuation, Nur Nobi's family forgot about him as they fled to a storm shelter. Credit: Kazi Riasat Alve/The World He said it was too dangerous for him to evacuate to a cyclone shelter on his own due to the high winds blowing around debris and powerlines. Nobi asked a neighbor to help locate his family. Later, one of his daughters returned home and brought him to the shelter.  Nobi, who heads a disability advocacy group in the rural Sitakund district, said that despite the risks, relocation to a city is not possible for many people with disabilities. There aren't many job opportunities and physically getting around a small town can be easier, he said.Nobi said there are measures the government could take that would make it safer for people with disabilities during a climate-related disaster.  “There should be sign language interpreters to assist deaf people during evacuations,” Nobi said. “And people with a disability should be prioritized for evacuations ahead of a cyclone, and officials should take them to a shelter.”   Selina Akter, the mother of two severely disabled children in the village of Mirsharai, said that emergency transportation could alleviate the burden of having to make a difficult decision should they need to evacuate.  “Which child should I carry, this one or that one?”Selina Akter, mother of two severely disabled children“What else can I do, can I evacuate both of my children together by myself?” Akter said. “Which child should I carry, this one or that one?”  Selina Akter doesn't know how she'd be able to protect her two disabled children if a cyclone strikes her village. Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World She said that if they had to evacuate the village while her husband was away, she doesn't know how they would survive.  “If Allah [God] allows, I'll be able to evacuate my two children, otherwise I'll die here,” she said. Akter said she is unaware of any assistance for people with disabilities during emergencies.Bangladesh's national disaster management protocol and other laws are, in fact, “highly disability inclusive,” said Vashkar Bhattacharjee, a Chattogram-based disability rights advocate.The problem, he said,  is at the “implementation level.”Disability inclusion is “on the agenda of the Bangladesh government,” he said, but added that these provisions are mainly just “on paper.”Bhattacharjee, who is blind and advises the government on accessibility, said the effects of climate change on people with disabilities is still largely misunderstood by policymakers in Bangladesh. Vashkar Bhattacharjee says more research is needed to better understand the ways that climate change impacts people with disabilities.  Credit: Kazi Riasat Alve/The World But he cannot completely fault authorities, he said. Disability advocates and analysts also need to raise more awareness about this issue. He suggests more research and studies in this area, especially looking at how global warming affects women and Indigenous people with disabilities.Bhattacharjee, who participated in the COP21 climate conference in Paris, said that the organizations involved often exclude people who live in areas where severe weather poses the greatest threats. “People with disabilities who are directly impacted by climate change, their voices are not going in."Vashkar Bhattacharjee, disability rights advocate“People with disabilities who are directly impacted by climate change, their voices are not going in,” he said. “We need to connect these rural people into the national and international discussions.” Jahedul Islam, a 22-year-old university student, is working to ensure that no one with disabilities gets left behind in a climate emergency. Islam lives on the island of Sandwip, in the Bay of Bengal, where coastal erosion has displaced families for decades. Now, observers say stronger storms, floods and sea-level rise are worsening these risks. A powerful storm washed away Sandwip Island's downtown. Sea-level rise and cyclones made worse by global warming put communities at greater risk.  Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World Islam was born with a condition that affects how he walks, but he is able to go up the flight of steps that lead to the second floor of a municipal  building that doubles as a cyclone shelter.Islam said there are only a couple places like this on the island. “Some people with a disability never leave their homes ... But, sometimes, there's no other choice than to bring them to a cyclone shelter.”Jahedul Islam, 22, disability rights advocate“Some people with a disability never leave their homes,” he said. “But, sometimes, there's no other choice than to bring them to a cyclone shelter.”   Jahedul Islam started a volunteer organization on Sandwip that transports people with limited mobility to storm shelters. Credit:  Kazi Riasat Alve/The World Three years ago, Islam started an organization that dispatches volunteers to the homes of elderly residents, people with disabilities or anyone else who needs help when a storm strikes. They're brought to safer places via motorbike taxis.  “Weather conditions change so rapidly, every half an hour or hour, " he said. “If I'm outside my home and a storm happens, if there's not a shelter nearby, I wouldn't know where to go.”  And for some, that's a matter of life or death.Editor's note: Jason Strother's reporting was supported by the National Geographic Society. Kazi Riasat Alve and Sharif Ferdous Arko contributed to this story.

This week, we're reporting from Dubai, where the 28th UN climate change conference (COP28) is now underway. Ever since the Paris Agreement was signed at COP21, the central issue has remained the same: How do the nations of the world keep global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels?  This year marks the first “global stocktake,” where the data on how well we're collectively doing on meeting the Paris targets are front and center. Across the board, countries are failing. How much will this harsh dose of reality affect the negotiations? Perhaps more importantly, how does what happens at these international summits affect the people most at risk for flooding and extreme heat? Guests: Claire Stockwell, Senior Climate Policy Analyst, Climate Analytics Nisreen Elsaim, Sudanese Climate Activist; Former Chair, UN Secretary General's Youth Advisory Group Abigael Kima, Host and Producer, Hali Hewa Podcast Chautuileo Tranamil, Co-Founder, Indigenous Liberation and Aralez Myrna Cunningham, Chair, Guiding Committee, Pawanka Fund For show notes and related links, visit our website.

COP28 is the 28th annual Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCC) on Climate Change which will be held in Dubai (UAE) and runs from November 30-December 12.If that's more than you already knew, you're in luck because today we learn from folks who have participated in multiple COP events and learned the ins and outs from the inside. This year's COP marks the pivotal halfway point between when the Paris Agreement was established at COP21, and its 2030 targets. COP28 UAE also marks the conclusion of the inaugural five-yearly global stocktake, providing a pivotal moment for the world to evaluate advancements toward the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. This presents a unique opportunity for global stakeholders to come together, align their efforts, and strategize on bridging existing gaps in climate action. Participants and leaders from all corners of the world tackle the urgent agenda of climate change and enact sound strategies towards combating it.Our guests today offer a wealth of COP experience. Myles Fish, VP of Business Development at Perch Energy, will share insights from his enriching tenure with John Kerry's advance team at COP 21 in Paris. Next to speak is the CEO of Island Innovation, James Ellsmoor, who helps represent and provide perspective of small island developing states and territories at COP. Additionally, Julia Pyper, VP of Public Affairs at GoodLeap, revisits her experience at COP 26 in Glasgow and discusses what she expects to see from COP28.This year's summit will be integral in tracking progress from a global commitment to fighting climate change. Currently, we are falling short of the target to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius set by COP 21, emphasizing the urgent need for decisive action and necessary adjustments. There are enormous learning opportunities from these high-stakes climate change negotiations and it will be interesting to see what COP28 brings about.Listen in to this first-ever Suncast coverage of the global climate conference, and I'm sure you'll come away with insight as to how this matters not just for you personally, but our industry and the world.

Hakima El-Haite knows what it takes to host a U.N. climate conference. The former Moroccan environment minister served as vice president of COP21 — where the Paris Climate Agreement was signed — and then played a key role in bringing the next climate summit to her home country. Since then, a global pandemic, debt crisis, multiple wars and rising geopolitical tensions have narrowed the space for international cooperation. “We need to come back again and to build the trust, because today the trust is eroded. Many promises from the Paris Agreement were not kept,” El-Haite said in this first episode of Devex's Climate + podcast. Climate + is supported by the World Bank. Sign up to the Devex Newswire and our other newsletters.

In 2015, Pope Francis - head of the Catholic Church - published Laudato Si: On Care For Our Common Home, a “papal cyclical,” or open letter, to the world's more than 1.3 billion Catholics  about the ethical imperative of addressing climate change, and the relationship between environmental stewardship and social justice. The publication had an impact: in church-goers' confidence in the scientific evidence for climate change, in country leaders who cited it in the COP21 negotiations that led to the Paris Agreement, and in catalyzing an international movement among the Catholic community to fight climate change.But as he makes clear in the follow up “apostolic exhortation” released earlier this month, called Laudate Deum, Pope Francis knows the work accomplished so far is not enough. Climate Now was joined by Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker, Director of the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University, to examine this urgent papal call for progress in protecting the environment and the poor, and the impact it may have in the global climate movement. Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Based on the author's eight years of fieldwork with the United Nations-led Conference of Parties (COP), In Quest of a Shared Planet: Negotiating Climate from the Global South (Fordham UP, 2023) offers an illuminating first-person ethnographic perspective on climate change negotiations. Focusing on the Paris Agreement, anthropologist Naveeda Khan introduces readers to the only existing global approach to the problem of climate change, one that took nearly thirty years to be collectively agreed upon. She shares her detailed descriptions of COP21 to COP25 and growing understanding of the intricacies of the climate negotiation process, leading her to ask why countries of the Global South invested in this slow-moving process and to explore how they have maneuvered it. With a focus on the Bangladeshi delegation at the COPs, Khan draws out what it means to be a small, poor, and dependent country within the negotiation process. Her interviews with negotiators within country delegations uncover their pathways to the negotiating tables. Through observations of training sessions of negotiators of the Global South, Khan seeks to reveal understandings of what is or is not achievable within negotiated texts and the power of deal-making and deferrals. She profiles individuals who had committed themselves to the climate negotiation process, moving between the Secretariat, Parties, activists, and the wider UN system to bring their principles, strategies, emotions, and visions into view. She explores how the newest pillar of climate action, loss and damage, emerged historically and how developed countries attempted to control it in the process. Khan suggests that we understand the Global South's pursuit of loss and damage not only as a politics of forcing the issue of a conjoined future upon the Global North, but as a gift to the youth of the world to secure that future. Deeply insightful and highly readable, In Quest of a Shared Planet is a stirring call to action that highlights the key role responsive and active youth have in climate negotiations. It is an invitation not only to understand the climate negotiation process, but also to navigate it (for those planning to attend sessions themselves) and to critique it—with, the author hopes, sympathy and an eye to viable alternatives. In Quest of a Shared Planet: Negotiating Climate from the Global South is available from the publisher on an open-access basis. Naveeda Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. She sits on the board of the JHU Center for Islamic Studies, and serves as affiliate faculty for the JHU Undergraduate Program in Environmental Science and Studies. She is the author of Muslim Becoming: Aspiration and Skepticism in Pakistan (Duke, 2012) and River Life and the Upspring of Nature (Duke, 2023) and editor of Beyond Crisis: Re-evaluating Pakistan (Routledge, 2010).

She shares her detailed descriptions of COP21 to COP25 and growing understanding of the intricacies of the climate negotiation process, leading her to ask why countries of the Global South invested in this slow-moving process and to explore how they have maneuvered it. With a focus on the Bangladeshi delegation at the COPs, Khan draws out what it means to be a small, poor, and dependent country within the negotiation process. Her interviews with negotiators within country delegations uncover their pathways to the negotiating tables. Through observations of training sessions of negotiators of the Global South, Khan seeks to reveal understandings of what is or is not achievable within negotiated texts and the power of deal-making and deferrals. She profiles individuals who had committed themselves to the climate negotiation process, moving between the Secretariat, Parties, activists, and the wider UN system to bring their principles, strategies, emotions, and visions into view. She explores how the newest pillar of climate action, loss and damage, emerged historically and how developed countries attempted to control it in the process. Khan suggests that we understand the Global South's pursuit of loss and damage not only as a politics of forcing the issue of a conjoined future upon the Global North, but as a gift to the youth of the world to secure that future. Deeply insightful and highly readable, In Quest of a Shared Planet is a stirring call to action that highlights the key role responsive and active youth have in climate negotiations. It is an invitation not only to understand the climate negotiation process, but also to navigate it (for those planning to attend sessions themselves) and to critique it—with, the author hopes, sympathy and an eye to viable alternatives. In Quest of a Shared Planet: Negotiating Climate from the Global South is available from the publisher on an open-access basis. Naveeda Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. She sits on the board of the JHU Center for Islamic Studies, and serves as affiliate faculty for the JHU Undergraduate Program in Environmental Science and Studies. She is the author of Muslim Becoming: Aspiration and Skepticism in Pakistan (Duke, 2012) and River Life and the Upspring of Nature (Duke, 2023) and editor of Beyond Crisis: Re-evaluating Pakistan (Routledge, 2010).

N°300 / 4 juin 2023Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 2 juin 2023.Avec cette semaine :Akram Belkaïd, journaliste au Monde diplomatique.Michel Eltchaninoff, rédacteur en chef du mensuel Philosophie Magazine.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique Blick. TURQUIE : TROISIÈME MANDAT POUR ERDOGAN Le 28 mai, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, 69 ans, a été déclaré vainqueur du second tour de l'élection présidentielle turque, réunissant 52,16 % des suffrages, contre 47,84 % pour son adversaire, Kemal Kiliçdaroglu. Pendant la campagne, la télévision publique TRT a accordé « soixante fois plus de temps d'antenne » au président sortant qu'à son rival, a observé l'organisation Reporters sans frontières. Perçue comme faible, sans accès aux ressources, l'alliance de six partis d'opposition n'est pas parvenue à convaincre l'électorat qu'elle pouvait mieux faire.De Joe Biden à Vladimir Poutine, en passant par Emmanuel Macron ou Volodymyr Zelensky, chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement se sont succédé pour saluer la victoire du dirigeant turc, au pouvoir depuis vingt ans. Le chef de file de l'opposition avait pourtant les discrètes faveurs des dirigeants occidentaux, dont les relations avec Erdogan se sont fortement détériorées au fil de ses mandats successifs, surtout depuis le coup d'Etat manqué de 2016. Ces félicitations ont été assorties d'une invitation à entrer dans une relation constructive avec l'Union européenne, du moins plus apaisée qu'elle ne l'a été au cours des dix dernières années avec un président turc exploitant chacune des failles du bloc, de la migration à la relation avec la Russie. Depuis un an, Ankara bloque l'entrée de la Suède dans l'Alliance atlantique, prétendant que Stockholm héberge des « terroristes » kurdes sur son territoire. Cette question sera abordée notamment lors du sommet de l'Otan, les 11 et 12 juillet à Vilnius, en Lituanie.Au Moyen-Orient, ces derniers mois, Recep Tayyip Erdogan a tenté de se rapprocher de son voisin, le président syrien Bachar al-Assad. Malgré une médiation russe ses tentatives n'ont pas abouti. Le président syrien a exigé en préalable à toute rencontre avec son homologue le retrait des forces turques stationnées dans le nord de la Syrie sous contrôle rebelle et la fin du soutien d'Ankara aux groupes rebelles opposés à Damas. La Turquie, accueille sur son sol 3,4 millions de réfugiés syriens ayant fui la guerre. Le chiffre réel est sans doute supérieur. Il a fait l'objet d'une surenchère électoraliste de la part de l'opposition qui parle de 10, voire de 13 millions de migrants en Turquie. La campagne électorale a été marquée par une poussée de xénophobie.La réélection du président turc s'inscrit dans un contexte économique très dégradé : en deux ans, la livre turque a perdu 80 % de sa valeur et l'inflation s'établit à 105 %. En plus de l'inflation, le tremblement de terre du 6 février qui a dévasté des zones entières du sud-est de la Turquie, faisant au moins 50.000 morts, a laissé le pays exsangue. Le président Erdogan a promis de reconstruire au plus vite 650.000 logements dans les provinces affectées. Il a jusqu'en 2028 pour édifier une « IIe République », qu'il souhaite plus religieuse, plus autocratique, plus nationaliste, davantage tournée vers le Golfe, la Russie et la Chine que la première, fondée il y a cent ans, le 29 octobre 1923, par Mustapha Kemal Atatürk, sur les décombres de l'empire ottoman.***L'ONU ET LA POLLUTION PAR LE PLASTIQUESept ans après la COP21, un millier de délégués de 175 pays et plus de 1 500 scientifiques et représentants de la société civile et de l'industrie se sont réunis du 29 mai au 2 juin à l'Unesco, à Paris, avec pour mission de « mettre fin à la pollution plastique » à travers l'élaboration d'un traité international juridiquement contraignant d'ici à 2024. En 2019, le monde a produit 460 millions de tonnes de matières plastiques. Le double de sa production de 2000. Ce chiffre pourrait tripler d'ici à 2060 en l'absence de nouvelle politique, selon l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économique. Si les pays participant aux discussions à Paris s'accordent sur la nécessité d'une réponse globale, ils sont divisés sur les mesures à entreprendre. Une « coalition pour la haute ambition », portée par le Rwanda et la Norvège et composée d'une cinquantaine de pays dont ceux de l'Union européenne, mais aussi le Canada, ou le Japon, demande une réduction de la production globale du plastique. D'autres pays comme l'Arabie saoudite ou les Etats-Unis entendent défendre leur secteur pétrochimique et mettent donc l'accent sur la collecte des déchets et le recyclage.Dans un rapport publié le 16 mai en amont de la conférence de Paris, le Programme des Nations unies pour l'environnement (PNUE) estime que la principale solution est d'appliquer la règle des « 4 R » (réduire, réutiliser, réparer et recycler), dans cet ordre. Ainsi, la pollution plastique pourrait être réduite de 80 % à l'horizon 2040 : très persistants dans l'environnement, les polymères se dégradent en micro et nanoparticules qui polluent l'air, le sol et l'eau jusqu'au sommet de l'Everest et ils intègrent la chaîne alimentaire. Le plastique pose aussi problème pour son rôle dans le réchauffement climatique. Il représentait 1,8 milliard de tonnes de gaz à effet de serre en 2019, 3,4% des émissions mondiales. L'idée consiste à passer d'une économie et d'un mode de production linéaire (extraire, transformer puis jeter) à une économie circulaire, où rien ne se perd ou presque. In fine, la transition vers une économie circulaire pourrait permettre au monde d'économiser 1,27 trillion de dollars, estime le PNUE. Et 3,25 trillions de dollars supplémentaires pourraient l'être grâce à l'élimination d'externalités négatives dues à la pollution plastique telles que les coûts liés aux problèmes de santé, de climat, de pollution de l'air, de dégradation des écosystèmes marins, etc. Enfin, cette transition pourrait permettre de créer 700.000 emplois dans le monde, principalement dans les pays en voie de développement.Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
