Os incêndios de Los Angeles foram descritos como “os mais devastadores” da história da Califórnia pelo Presidente norte-americano Joe Biden. Até este domingo, as autoridades registaram, pelo menos, 24 vítimas mortais. As alterações climáticas foram “um factor de agravamento” dos incêndios, mas vêm aí "dias difíceis" na luta contra o aquecimento global, avisa Francisco Ferreira, presidente da ONG ambiental ZERO. RFI: Por que razão estes incêndios na Califórnia estão a ser tao devastadores?Francisco Ferreira, Presidente da “ZERO”: “A situação da Califórnia e de Los Angeles reflecte, em primeiro lugar, uma extensa situação de seca nos últimos tempos, mas com uma enorme presença de vegetação por aquilo que aconteceu há um ano, que foi o inverno extremamente húmido. Ou seja, foram criadas as condições para ter uma enorme quantidade de biomassa, de mato, de floresta muito mais pronta para arder na sequência do inverno passado, que nas últimas semanas, nos últimos meses não teve a humidade suficiente para evitar uma propagação rápida de incêndios e que acaba por acontecer, na última semana, pela ocorrência de ignições. Para eu ter um incêndio, neste caso, a origem não é natural, há aqui claramente um decurso de uma qualquer actividade humana que ainda é preciso esclarecer e averiguar, em que o terreno estava realmente todo preparado para que, com ventos extremamente intensos e secos vindos do interior, ventos de leste a encaminharem a nuvem de fumo para o Oceano Pacífico, levassem a uma rapidíssima propagação.”O que são os ventos de Santa Ana?“Em Los Angeles, nós falamos de uma bacia porque se trata de uma zona que é relativamente baixa, mas toda ela rodeada de montanhas. Em determinadas ocasiões, eu tenho um posicionamento de um anticiclone e de uma baixa pressão que nos levam a ventos muito intensos de uma região nos arredores de Los Angeles, que é precisamente a zona de Santa Ana. E, portanto, quando eu tenho esses ventos, eles são bastante intensos porque eles atravessam as montanhas mais próximas de Los Angeles e levam a esta propagação.”O jornal Washington Post compara este fenómeno meteorológico a um “secador gigante”. Porque esta imagem? “Porque realmente o que se passa é que eu tenho uma região interior onde praticamente não tenho qualquer humidade do ar presente nessa área e que depois me é arrastada para o Oceano Pacífico. Portanto, eu tenho uma massa de ar a grande velocidade, mas sem humidade, a atravessar a zona de Los Angeles. Ao contrário daquilo que seria habitual e desejável, que era eu ter um ar húmido ou precipitação que contrariasse a ocorrência destes incêndios, o que eu tenho é um ar extremamente seco a grande velocidade que foi originado numa zona interior. Pior do ponto de vista meteorológico eu não conseguiria ter em termos de alimento para os incêndios que estiveram - e estão - a ter lugar.”Qual é a ligação entre as alterações climáticas e estes incêndios que foram descritos como “os mais devastadores da história da Califórnia” pelo Presidente americano Joe Biden? “Em primeiro lugar, nós devemos ter aqui alguma precaução porque se pode pensar que face àquilo que é um clima cada vez mais imprevisível e com comportamentos completamente diferentes do que seria o padrão normal - nós tivemos cheias significativas na Califórnia, tivemos um inverno muito húmido há um ano e agora estamos numa situação de enorme seca - estes extremos são realmente resultado das alterações climáticas, mas pode-nos dar a sensação de que é inevitável e eu não poderia fazer nada em relação a estes mega incêndios que estão a ter lugar. As alterações climáticas são, sem dúvida, um factor de agravamento daquilo que são problemas também estruturais do ponto de vista do ordenamento do território daquela zona. Ou seja, eu começo a ter aqui fogos que são já quase urbanos, que vão aumentando rapidamente porque eu tenho projeções a grande distância daquilo que é o meu incêndio principal. Esta zona de Los Angeles tem, sem dúvida, uma zona de maior presença de vegetação, mas a propagação toda que se dá com maiores prejuízos é já numa zona que nós chamamos suburbana ou periurbana e urbana, portanto, nós já não temos uma distinção entre o rural e urbano em zonas como Los Angeles, na periferia da cidade.É uma cidade que eu conheço relativamente bem. Ainda há poucos meses lá estive em trabalho relacionado com a área dos incêndios e da qualidade do ar e das emissões atmosféricas. Temos aqui um conjunto de factores, onde as alterações climáticas, onde o agravar destes extremos de contrastes entre invernos mais húmidos que o normal, com invernos ou meses mais secos que o normal, e depois condições extremas também motivadas pelas alterações climáticas, como sejam grandes velocidades de vento, como as que ocorreram sistematicamente nos últimos dias, com a estrutura de ocupação do espaço daquela zona, levam à tempestade perfeita entre aspas, levam realmente a este cenário absolutamente dramático e desolador que nós encontramos em Los Angeles. É aquilo, no fundo, que nós acabámos por ter também em Portugal em 2017. Foi o pior ano em termos de área ardida das últimas décadas e o que acontece tem muito a ver com estas circunstâncias. Nós tínhamos tido uma primavera bastante chuvosa, muita massa para arder no solo, nomeadamente na floresta. Depois, em cada um dos fins-de-semana, um em Junho e outro em Outubro, à custa de eu ter uma grande velocidade do vento, de eu ter um ar também muito seco e quente a percorrer as zonas que foram afectadas, nomeadamente em Outubro, foi realmente a mesma receita daquilo que se passou ou se está a passar ainda em Los Angeles.”Qual seria então a forma para travar essa “receita” ou essa “tempestade perfeita”? Tanto mais que os serviços meteorológicos americanos avisam que haverá “um comportamento extremo dos incêndios” que culminarão com ventos a 110 quilómetros por hora já a partir desta terça-feira de manhã?“Nesta altura, a única possibilidade de intervenção é usar os modelos que temos de previsão meteorológica e de propagação de incêndios para tratar da prevenção. É a única forma que é possível num incêndio que é um incêndio urbano, não é um incêndio florestal de grandes dimensões como nós temos tido nos Estados Unidos, no Canadá ou na Europa. Trata-se, neste momento, de um incêndio com características muito claras à escala urbana. Agora, no médio e longo prazo, obviamente, nós queremos minimizar o impacto das alterações climáticas. É absolutamente crucial que percebamos que esta é uma das questões chave em termos de adaptação climática e que nós temos que realmente reduzir as emissões para que não tenhamos um clima com extremos desta natureza cada vez mais frequentes.”Isto acontece numa altura em que Donald Trump vai chegar à Casa Branca, ele que é abertamente negacionista relativamente às alterações climáticas. A situação vai piorar?“Por isso mesmo é que nós temos aqui um problema grande à escala dos próprios Estados Unidos e à escala global. Nós estamos numa linha de aumento da temperatura de 3,1 graus em relação à era pré-industrial. 2024 foi o ano recorde desde que há registos com uma ultrapassagem do limite de 1,6 graus. Ou seja, tivemos 1,6 graus acima da média do período pré-industrial, basicamente quando olhamos para a média entre 1850 e 1900, em 2024 tivemos 1,6 graus acima dessa média de valores. Os Estados Unidos, em particular algumas zonas são, sem dúvida, exemplos daquilo que já são as consequências das alterações climáticas, quer na Califórnia em termos de incêndios, quer a intensidade e a destruição e a frequência de furacões na costa leste, nomeadamente na Flórida e ao longo de todo o Golfo do México. Eu acho que nós, infelizmente, estamos num período em que, politicamente, as alterações climáticas vão ter dias difíceis do ponto de vista da concertação à escala mundial e dentro dos Estados Unidos em particular. Isso vai-nos sair, mais tarde, muito mais caro, por não estarmos a tomar as medidas de prevenção em termos de adaptação e, acima de tudo, em termos de redução de emissões, porque o clima é muito resiliente. O clima demora muito tempo a mudar, mesmo que nós agora tivéssemos políticas fortíssimas para reduzir o aquecimento global e procurar reduzir estas consequências, iríamos ainda assistir a uma escalada dos efeitos para depois começarmos a ver essa diminuição. Mas quanto mais tempo perdermos, pior será.”Ultrapassámos o limite de aquecimento de 1,5 graus, como fixado pelo Acordo de Paris. O Observatório Europeu Copernicus também indicou que 2024 foi o ano mais quente de sempre desde que há registos. Até que ponto estamos num período crucial para a redução de emissão de gases responsáveis pelo aquecimento global para evitarmos esse ponto sem retorno na crise climática? Ou já chegámos a esse ponto sem volta a dar? “Nós ainda não chegámos àquilo que o próprio Acordo de Paris aponta. Ou seja, a ultrapassagem de um grau e meio foi em um ano. Vamos ver o que é que acontece nos próximos anos, se esta ultrapassagem é permanente ou não. Mas realmente o que a ciência nos diz é que acima de um grau e meio, eu tenho um efeito de cascata e de consequências muito mais dramático do que se conseguisse que a temperatura ficasse abaixo deste aumento.Eu diria que as notícias não são realmente boas e, infelizmente, este é um problema global. Significa que nós precisamos de respostas globais e a Europa tem aqui, sem dúvida, uma quota de responsabilidade grande do ponto de vista das suas emissões acima de tudo históricas. Mas é necessário continuar o diálogo, a concertação e a acção, mesmo que limitada, no quadro das Nações Unidas e da conferência que vamos ter este ano no Brasil, da Convenção das Alterações Climáticas. Realmente o clima está a avançar mais em termos daquilo que é a sua mudança do que os próprios cientistas previram que pudesse acontecer.”

Aconteceu esta quinta-feira, 21 de Novembro, na COP29, a "COP dos Povos". Uma reunião da sociedade civil de todo o mundo. Em Baku, no recinto da COP29, as manifestações têm de obedecer a regras específicas da organização local e as marchas são proibidas. Bianca Castro, activista pela Justiça Climática, lamenta estas restrições e avança que na COP30 "vamos estar em peso nas ruas". Aconteceu esta quinta-feira, 21 de Novembro, na COP29, a "COP dos Povos". Uma reunião da sociedade civil de todo o mundo, onde foram partilhados testemunhos, reivindicadas acções e feitos apelos por justiça climática. A Cimeira dos povos terminou ao som de Bob Marley e da música “Get up stand up”. Depois os participantes colocaram fita cola de banda larga na boca, onde se podia ler “Pay up”, numa alusão ao financiamento que os países ricos deveriam proporcionar para que os pais pobres possam enfrentar as alterações climáticas. Em Baku, no recinto da COP29, as manifestações têm de obedecer a regras específicas da organização local e as marchas são proibidas, mas isso não impede as múltiplas organizações da sociedade civil de se expressar.Todos os anos, durante as duas semanas de COP, a Climate Action Network atribui o galardão Fossil of the Day, o fóssil do dia. O “prémio” é dado ao melhor país a ter o pior desempenho no combate climático e na cimeira. Na quarta-feira, 20 de Novembro, a distinção foi para a União Europeia e, no dia seguinte, ficou nas mãos dos Estados Unidos. O momento é sempre acompanhado de perto por dezenas de activistas, como foi o caso nesta quinta-feira, 21 de Novembro, de Bianca Castro, activista pela Justiça Climática e delegada na COP29.“Infelizmente, dia após dia, vemos que países do norte global e os grupos de negociação que são maioritariamente do norte global, que são historicamente responsáveis pela crise climática, continuam a bloquear o avanço, continuam a bloquear as decisões que têm de ser feitas porque realmente não querem admitir a sua culpa histórica e não querem pagar aos países mais vulneráveis o financiamento que lhes é devido. Nas últimas três COP'S (Egipto, Emirados Árabes Unidos e Azerbaijão), a sociedade civil normalmente vocal e activa nestas conferências têm vindo a ver o seu espaço de acção a ser reduzido. Fora do recinto da COP as manifestações são proibidas e dentro têm de respeitar uma série de critérios. As esperanças estão agora voltadas para a COP30 no Brasil, onde a sociedade civil já prometeu uma conferência mais inclusiva, mais feminina e com “o povo nas ruas”. Estamos a ver uma grande diferença entre COP's, como a COP25 - que foi a minha primeira - ou a COP26, que foram em Madrid e em Glasgow, respectivamente, em que as ruas estavam cheias de milhares de pessoas todos os dias.Nas últimas três COP's, o espaço da sociedade civil é muito, muito limitado. A sociedade civil continua a estar presente, continua a fazer dezenas e dezenas de manifestações, continuamos a fazer aquilo que nos é permitido. Mas protestar dentro da conferência é muito limitado.Daí que já haja muito entusiasmo e muita organização para o próximo ano e para o Brasil, não só na COP30 em Belém, mas também durante todo o ano, porque finalmente será novamente num local em que vão poder haver mobilizações na rua.Na “plenária das pessoas”, uma das coisas que foi dita por activistas do Brasil, foi que enquanto sociedade civil, estamos fartos de ser silenciados, estamos fartos de estar confinados a estas paredes frias da conferência e que no próximo ano vamos estar em peso nas ruas durante todo o ano, com uma mobilização estratégica unida do movimento global.Apesar da importância do encontro deste ano, a COP29 é denominada como a COP do financiamento, Bianca Castro não se mostra optimista.Nas salas de negociação, os países do norte global continuam a bloquear o avanço, o que é extremamente perigoso, porque isto é uma questão de tempo e nós já não temos tempo.A crise climática já está aqui, está a afectar mais fortemente aqueles que já são mais marginalizados por todos os problemas estruturais que a nossa sociedade tem.Infelizmente, parece que COP após COP saímos um bocadinho de coração partido, porque aqueles que têm o poder de tomar estas decisões, decidem não as tomar. Daí a importância da sociedade civil de continuar a exigir e continuar a protestar e a mostrar que está aqui, não só presente na COP, mas durante todo o ano. 

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dr. Robert Kay, Founder of 319Climate, a boutique consulting and innovation firm dedicated to accelerating the transition to a low carbon, climate resilient and equitable future. Robert is an international climate expert with a mission to spearhead initiatives that foster a climate resilient, low-carbon future. He offers 33 years of experience in climate change, sustainability, and resilience planning. Robert has worked in a variety of roles in the government, consulting, and academic sectors providing advice on sustainability for various energy resilience projects throughout California.  Since the late 1980s, he has either led or participated in climate change projects globally, ranging from local-scale projects worldwide (including for local, state, national, and multilateral agencies) to global analysis for the United Nations. He specializes in topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, sea level rise adaptation, and sustainable facilities management.He and Ted discuss his background, growing up in Yorkshire, England. They also discuss his family, early influences, and sense of exploration. His father was an electrical engineer at the local utility and his mother was a homemaker and market researcher on consumer goods. His parents were avid hikers, and his love of the outdoors is what got him in the climate space. They dig into his early coastal zone management and climate risk management works. Robert demonstrates throughout his career that he has brought people together to solve complex problems. He is a sought-after facilitator and engagement specialist. He shares highlights from providing expert guidance to Pacific Island delegations to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP) including COP15 (Copenhagen), COP21 (Paris), COP22 (Marrakesh), COP23 (Bonn), and COP25 in Madrid. He concludes by sharing his excitement for upcoming trips, including NY Climate Week next week!

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).

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF leo limemteua na kumtangaza mwanaharakati wa mazingira kutoka nchini Uganda Vanessa Nakate kuwa balozi mwema mpya wa shirika hilo.  Vanessa Nakate, Balozi mwema wa UNICEF, akiwa ziarani Turkana nchini Kenya alitembelea hospitali ya rufaa ya Lodwar na hapo anazungumza na mtoto Eunice Asukuku ambaye alifikishwa hospitali kwa tatizo la utapiamlo mkali, kuvimba mwili na ukosefu wa damu. Chanzo cha matatizo ni uhaba wa chakula utokanao na ukame uliosababishwa na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Uteuzi wa Vanessa, mwenye umri wa miaka 25 unafuatia ziara yake kwenye Pembeme ya Afrika ambako alishuhudia jinsi gani mabadiliko ya tabianchi yalivyochangia athari mbaya kwa maisha ya watoto nchini Kenya kutokana na ukame unaoendelea. Pia uteuzi huo ni kuthibitisha ushirikiano wake na shirika la UNICEF na kutambua utetezi wake bora wa kimataifa wa haki za kimazingira kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Vanessa alisafiri wiki iliyopita na UNICEF hadi Kaunti ya Turkana Kaskazini Magharibi mwa Kenya ili kujionea athari za uhaba wa maji na chakula unaosababishwa na ukame mbaya zaidi kuwahi kushuhudiwa katika Pembe ya Afrika katika kipindi cha miaka 40.  Katika safari yake ya kwanza na UNICEF, alikutana na jamii zilizo katika kitovu cha  athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi ikiwa ni pamoja na kinamama na watoto wanaopata matibabu ya kuokoa maisha kutokana na utapiamlo mkali na familia zinazonufaika na mifumo ya usambazaji wa maji inayotumia nishati ya jua kwa msaada wa UNICEF. Nitahakikisha sauti za watoto zinasikika Baada ya kuteuliwa kwake Bi. Nakate amesema "Kama balozi mwema wa UNICEF, itakuwa jukumu langu la kwanza kuwasilisha sauti za watoto na watu waliotengwa katika mazungumzo ambayo awali hawakujumuishwa. Jukumu hili na UNICEF litanipa fursa zaidi za kukutana na watoto na vijana katika maeneo yaliyoathiriwa zaidi na mabadiliko ya tabianchi na jukwaa lililopanuliwa la kutetea kwa niaba yao. Nchini Kenya, watu niliokutana nao waliniambia kuhusu athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi na ukame katika maisha yao, huku misimu minne ya mvua iliyofeli mfululizo ikiwanyima watoto haki zao za msingi.”  Ameongeza kuwa  moja ya jamii alizokutana nazo imemweleza kuwa haijashuhudia mvua kwa zaidi ya miaka miwili.  “Hii ni zaidi ya shida ya chakula na lishe, ni mwelekeo mwingine wa changamoto yetu ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi inayozidi kuwa mbaya.” Ombi la UNICEF la kuboresha na kusaidia maisha ya mamilioni ya watu walioathirika na ukame na kuwajengea mnepo kwa muda mrefu kwenye Pembe ya Afrika na kuzuia athari za ukame kwa miaka ijayo zinagonga mwamba kwani hadi sasa ombi hilo limefadhiliwa kwa asilimia 3% pekee. Akiwa Sopel, kaunti ya Turkana nchini Kenya, Vanessa Nakate alitembelea shule ya msingi na kuzungumza na wanafunzi kuhusu changamoto wanazozipata kutokana na janga la ukame kwenye eneo hilo la Afrika Mashariki. Safari ya uanaharakati ya Vanessa Nakate Vanessa alianza harakati zake Januari 2019 kwa maandamano na ndugu zake na binamu zake katika mitaa ya jiji la Kampala, nchini Uganda, maandamano yaliyochochewa na mwanaharakati mwingine nyota wa mabadiliko ya tabianchi na mazingira Greta Thunberg. Aliendelea kuandamana kila wiki, na kuwa sura inayojulikana katika harakati ya vijana kupiga mabadiliko ya tabianchi duniani kote.  Mwaka 2020 alijulikana zaidi ulimwenguni wakati alipoondolewa kwenye picha ya habari aliyokuwemo pamoja na Thunberg na wanaharakati wengine weupe wa mabadiliko ya tabianchi.  Kufuatia tukio hilo alochosema Vanessa ni kwamba chombo hicho cha habari "hakikufuta picha tu, bali kilifuta bara zima", kauli ambayo iligonga vichwa vya habari vya kimataifa. Vanessa amesema safari yake haikuwa rahisi  “Kama mwanamke mwanaharakati mchanga wa Kiafrika, imenibidi kupigana ili kusikilizwa na vyombo vya habari na watoa maamuzi. Wakati nina bahati ya kuwa na jukwaa sasa, ninakusudia kuendelea kupigania wengine. Watoto walio katika kitovu cha athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi, kama wale niliokutana nao Turkana, Kenya, ni watu ambao nitapigania katika jukumu langu jipya na UNICEF,” amesema Nakate. Tangu wakati huo Vanessa ametumia jukwaa lake kutetea haki ya masuala ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi kujumuisha kila jamii, haswa wale kutoka sehemu zilizoathiriwa zaidi.  Alianzisha Rise Up Movement, jukwaa la kupaza sauti za wanaharakati wa mabadiliko ya tabianchi wa Afrika, pamoja na mradi wa kufunga paneli za sola katika shule za vijijini za Uganda.  Amehutubia viongozi wa dunia katika mikutano ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi ya COP25 na COP26 na alionekana na hadithi yake kuchapishwa kwenye jarida la TIME.

“I think believing in something is also part of the responsibility of the believer to sift through these things. So there are a lot of people saying I'm green because they do something less badly. So for me, it's not green yet, it's just less bad. It's not really good yet. It's not really fabulous, but that just means there's an opportunity to keep going to share information and help each other because in the end, I think what we're dealing with now is the recognition that the world has a very serious issue with climate, that's very clear now. So how can we help each other? The question is no longer what is wrong with the way you're doing it.

“I think believing in something is also part of the responsibility of the believer to sift through these things. So there are a lot of people saying I'm green because they do something less badly. So for me, it's not green yet, it's just less bad. It's not really good yet. It's not really fabulous, but that just means there's an opportunity to keep going to share information and help each other because in the end, I think what we're dealing with now is the recognition that the world has a very serious issue with climate, that's very clear now. So how can we help each other? The question is no longer what is wrong with the way you're doing it.

Shana sat down recently with her good friend and colleague Lowell Bliss. Lowell is the director of Eden Vigil, an environmental missions organization now part of the Ralph Winter Launch Lab at Frontier Ventures. In addition, Lowell is the co-director of the Christian Climate Observers Program (CCOP), which provides an immersive, curated, and discipled experience of a UN COP climate summit for emerging climate leaders. He is also the author of Environmental Missions: Planting Churches and Trees and People, Trees, and Poverty and chaired the writing team of the Lausanne Creation Care Call to Action. Together Shana and Lowell talked about their shared experiences of previous COPs like COP25 in Madrid, Spain, in 2019 and COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, that wrapped up just a few weeks ago. Their enriched conversation dove into the complexities of the UN climate summits and why this year was a critical one. The result of COP26 was the formation of the Glasglow Climate Pact. They also discussed the vital role faith communities play in the process of these negotiations, especially during the COPs.

In this bonus podcast, Global Sustainability/ESG Partner Anna-Marie Slot is joined by Julie Hirigoyen, CEO of UKGBC, the UK's leading NGO campaigning for a sustainable built environment. In this episode, Julie speaks about why the built environment is a major source of solutions to both the climate and nature crisis and her views on the outcomes of COP26.

People are continuously working to help sustain this planet's life, and it is indeed great to have dialogues where concerns are shared and solutions are created and promoted.   Sadly, because some countries (especially the US) withdrew their commitments after pledging critically needed action, the climate movement – especially the Build Back Better Act – is moving slow...   We have all the evidence we need to take action. What's stopping you from standing up and moving forward?    We can't just wait and see what happens. We have to monitor and discuss what's happening right now!   There is nothing we can't do if we put our souls and minds into it.  COP26 is this year's crucial UN Climate Change Conference, which was hosted by the UK in Glasgow, Scotland, from 31 October until 12 November. The talks were organised under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), an international treaty agreed at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 in order to tackle global warming and deal with its effects. It came into force in 1994. COP stands for “conference of the parties”, and is a summit where the 197 signatories to the UNFCCC – 196 countries and the EU – come together to make decisions on how to implement the treaty. This is the first COP since COP25, held in Madrid in 2019. The 26th UNFCCC conference, COP26 was originally due to take place in November 2020, but was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.     Featured E2 Panelist:   Chris Bentley is Clean Energy Activist, CEO of Good Energy Guild in Louisville, Colorado. Marilyn Waite is the Climate and Clean Energy Finance Program Officer of the Hewlett Foundation in France, formerly in California. Laura Berland-Shane is the Vice President of Blue Planet Systems in Santa Monica, California.   Moderator: Ron Kamen is the CEO of EarthKind Energy Consulting in Rhinebeck, New York.     In this episode, Chris, Marilyn, and Laura engage in a discussion with regards to what has been happening in the movement towards saving the Earth. Here, they answer questions from the webinar attendees which concern what we can do next in order to save the planet and its people from complete destruction.     The most immediate climate issue that's on the table RIGHT NOW is passing the Build Back Better Act – the largest piece of climate legislation that's ever been proposed in the history of our country. That single bill will put us on track to meet – and even exceed – our goals, which is hugely important and necessary if we want life on this planet to continue. Multiply your climate impact by a factor of 1,000 with #CodeRedClimate & CodeRedCongress.com  (https://coderedcongress.com/)    Topics Covered:   01:57 – Webinar speakers introduce themselves before proceeding to shortly talk about what they do in relation to clean energy   04:35 – E2 members' perspectives on the current situation of the Earth in Glasgow – the good happenings, what drives those events, and also the things that hinder further progress    14:33 – Laura, Marilyn, and Chris share their sentiments about having people calling out the ‘elites' in the middle of this crisis, alongside the things we need to do in order to be able to move and take a step forward   21:04 – Is anybody talking about annual CO2 reduction emissions that can be tracked by the country as progress goes?   26:10 – Can the private sector and companies like IKEA and others in combination scale their efforts to have a meaningful fraction of what the nations need to do but are failing to do?   32:40 – Do you think the ESG community is making a significant impact in making things change?   36:08 – Are the attendees connected to fossil fuel interest? Is there any transparency on that front?   38:46 – Are the speakers aware of other trade associations that are also setting carbon reduction targets?   41:47 – Is there talk about the importance of the Build Back Better Act in the congress for the US to show commitment to the climate change action? Are other countries questioning the USA's commitment because of the congress being slow to pass this package?     45:11 – Is the philanthropic sector shifting away in regards to investments for the climate or are they more committed than ever?   48:27 – Does everyone have to buy carbon offsets to fly to the conference?   52:02 – A youth's perspective on everything that's going on in this movement.   54:34 – Where, when and how is environmental justice in equity integrated into the pledges with real solutions that will have equitable outcomes in climate justice for everybody?   56:33 – One major positive thing that can come out of this and what we should do next     Valuable SuperNovas:   “I think we need two things going forward. One is no more fossil fuel badges, and [two] we need to make sure that every delegation – especially of the rich countries – has a youth delegate.” – Marilyn Waite   “If we're going to continue having these international dialogues – I suppose are all about action – then we do need to see some really big changes in how this is done, who's at the table, whose voices are actually heard, because being just on the outside doesn't work.” – Marilyn Waite   “The youth can step out further and louder.” – Chris Bentley   “Only think about the next five years. What do you want to do for the next five years? Because five years from now, it's going to be completely different – new technologies, new opportunities. Where can you have the most impact?” – Chris Bentley   “We need everyone to be engaged and take action. There isn't anyone that cannot do anything.” – Marilyn Waite   “We've got to really monitor this by the minute. We can't just sit around and get back together in five years and see how we've progressed.” – Laura Berland-Shane     Connect with E2:   Website: www.e2.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/e2.org Twitter: www.twitter.com/e2org

Support this channel via https://genn.cc or https:patreon.com/genncc This episode features an interview with former Pakistani Defence Minister General Ghazi. I recorded this at COP25 in Madrid and am replaying here because General Ghazi identifies with great clarity, a stage process that can lead a nation or region into conflict. General Ghazi also outlines the critical role of the military as first responders, when climate extremes create society-wide suffering. The question is here, what more can we learn from experts in risk that can help us build societal resilience and promote cooperation as opposed to conflict in the face of a challenging future? General Ghazi is a member of the Global Military Advisory Council On Climate Change (GMACCC). Thanks for listening to Shaping The Future - I will be posting more in this series on ‘Preventing Human Chaos' in the coming weeks. Please subscribe to any of the podcast channels or Youtube. You can also support this work via Patreon and do send feedback or comment on GENN.cc. Preparing younger officers for climate-related conflicts and perturbations How water represents a huge risk to societal stability and what can be done Need for cooperation instead of conflict? Politicians lead by numbers so the military is well placed to translate risk into actionable plans? Military as first responders in climate chaos and can be prepositioned for disaster management despite the increasingly erratic nature of climate-driven impacts. The biggest concern is catastrophic conflict over resources that cross geopolitical lines. Future stresses from overpopulated urban areas to pandemics and conflicts.

View more at https://genn.cc Back this channel at https://patreon.com/genncc In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with French philosopher Mark Alizart about his new book The Climate Coup. The Climate Coup makes for fascinating reading as Mark identifies the forces of financial and self-interest who are either actively profiting or seeking to gain power from the misery and suffering that is a result of regional and global ecological and climate disasters. I n identifying these Carbofascists, Mark suggests there are parallels between events such as the Nazi burning of the Reichstag in 1933 and President Bolsonaro's more recent wilful burning of the Amazon rainforest that has shocked the world. Linking this seeming madness to the rise of populism, Mark suggests key responses that those of us interested in saving the global commons must consider if we are to win the struggle for a stable future. The book is only 60 pages and available to buy online at the usual places. I would welcome any thoughts or feedback about The Climate Coup, so please do comment or get in touch with your thoughts. Following this episode, I am going to post an interview I recorded at COP25 in Madrid with retired General Ghazi from Pakistan. General Ghazi was also formerly the Pakistani Defence Minister and explains how current trends of climate disruption increasing pressures on water supply, are a key indicator of future conflict in the region. Conflict risk and human suffering are only going to increase as the world becomes hotter and resources more restricted. How we behave in the face of such pressures will be the true test of our humanity.

The Global Cable is back for the new year with a conversation with Michael Weisberg. He is the Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, and this year he's the inaugural Penn Faculty Fellow at Perry World House. Professor Weisberg is currently working on initiatives in the Galápagos Islands, educating local communities about their unique environment and how to conserve it.   He talks to us about taking part in the COP25 climate negotiations in Madrid; how a better understanding of science shapes public attitudes to major issues like climate change; why Charles Darwin inspires him; and whether we can still be optimistic about saving the world from the coming climate emergency. Music & Produced by Tre Hester.
