As the dust settled from the Glasgow COP26 meetings in November, Lord Deben, chair of the UK's Climate Change Committee spoke with Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh about how the progress can be built upon in the coming months. They highlight the presence of big business leaders in the climate debate, some of the practical initiatives that have emerged, and why protestors need to be part of the 2022 COP27 meetings in Egypt. Among the next steps to look out for are net zero commitments that stand up to measurement, and for a real focus on delivery.

Emmanuel Katongole, professor of theology and peace studies, talks with recent peace studies graduate and climate activist Elsa Barron (B.A. '21) who attended the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) in November 2021. Here they discuss their commitments to environmental peacebuilding, Katongole's work with the Bethany Land Institute in Uganda, the ways faith informs their environmental commitments, and the future of climate change activism. Barron also produces the Olive Shoot podcast, where this episode will also air.

Read the podcast transcript on Do Better by Esade dobetter.esade.edu/en/COP26-China-US-cooperation ----------------------------- How can we evaluate the final agreement that states reached last month at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26)? How can we rate the level of ambition of the agreement, and was a higher degree of ambition possible? What is the value of the bilateral US-China declaration announced in the second week of the conference? Marie Vandendriessche, senior researcher at EsadeGeo, discusses the aftermath of COP26 in this EsadeGeo Exchange Podcast.

      Anastasia Karimova, formerly a journalist in Russia but now a democracy activist in the US, explains why most Russians do not worry about climate change: they simply don't trust any authorities anymore, after being “poisoned” with misinformation so long. We talk about the peat fires in Siberia and even a mountain burning inside in Canada. Then we turn to our various opinions about climate change, agreeing only on this: that the Glasgow COP26 meeting did not fulfill its responsibilities. Zachary Jacobson believes that nuclear power is going to be necessary. Both he and Art Hunter are extremely pessimistic about human survival, given the difficulties in mobilizing adequate responses. Metta challenges them all to choose among the various methods for removing carbon from the atmosphere and otherwise buying time for the necessary energy transformation. Hunter insists that the solutions have to involve austerity of living standards and a reduction in the size of the human population. Metta concludes by expressing disappointment that the group had spent time in fatalistic predictions of disasters and little in discussion potential alternatives.

A Conferência da ONU sobre as Mudanças Climáticas em Glasgow (COP26) demonstrou, mais uma vez, o hiato que existe entre a realidade exposta pela ciência sobre o aquecimento do planeta e o ritmo de ação dos governos para conter o problema. Do lado de fora, as populações se mobilizam para tentar obrigar os líderes a enfrentar a crise climática de maneira mais incisiva. Colocar o tema na Constituição pode ser uma dessas ferramentas. No mundo todo, a sociedade civil se organiza para pleitear mais avanços. Na França, uma ação judicial iniciada em 2018 pediu a inclusão na Constituição, que o presidente Emmanuel Macron chegou a prometer no artigo 1°, mas a ideia esbarrou na resistência do Parlamento. "Cada vez mais, a questão climática, a exemplo da preservação da biodiversidade, é inscrita nas Constituições. É simbólico porque demonstra a tomada de consciência coletiva da importância desse problema. O 'esverdeamento' das Constituições significa assumir, de maneira clara, leis que se encontram espalhadas em outros textos”, observa a professora de Direito Constitucionalista Marthe Stefanini, da Universidade Aix-Marseille. "O aspecto normativo é importante. Quanto mais uma medida é percebida como contrária à Constituição, mais um juiz poderá determinar obrigações para Estados, legisladores ou cidadãos.” Reconhecimento da ONU Em outubro, as Nações Unidas reconheceram o direito a um ambiente “limpo, saudável e sustentável” como um direito fundamental dos povos. A declaração é forte, argumenta Stefanini, ao constranger os governos a tomarem medidas que viabilizem essa garantia, mas falha ao não impor qualquer obrigação aos países. Da mesma forma, a quebra das promessas feitas no âmbito do Acordo de Paris não impõe qualquer sanção – o que ajuda a explicar o fato de que, na prática, a maioria dos países estejam distantes de agir como deveriam para enfrentar as mudanças climáticas. "Para que fosse um pouco mais obrigatório para os Estados, precisaria estar previsto em uma convenção internacional”, frisa Stefanini. "No plano nacional, os juízes têm o poder de relembrar os governantes que eles não estão cumprindo a sua parte contra as mudanças climáticas, que estão negligenciando direitos fundamentais, que pessoas estão morrendo pela carência do Estado. Mas não há a possibilidade de obrigação internacional." Proposta no Congresso do Brasil No Brasil, a Frente Parlamentar Ambientalista apresentou na Câmara um projeto de emenda constitucional (PEC 37/2021) para inscrever na Carta Magna a “segurança climática” como um direito fundamental dos brasileiros. Apelidado de “a lei mais urgente do mundo”, o texto prevê a inserção do tema em três artigos, relativos a direito humano, princípio da ordem econômica e direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. A segurança climática, “com garantias de mitigação e adaptação às mudanças climáticas”, passaria a ter a mesma importância que a soberania nacional ou do direito à propriedade privada, por exemplo. O professor de direito ambiental da PUC-Rio Fernando Walcacer considera a iniciativa louvável, mas ressalta que a questão crítica no Brasil é o descumprimento e o enfraquecimento das leis existentes. "Há muitos anos, desde a década de 1980, o Brasil tem construído uma legislação ambiental bastante sólida. A Constituição sempre foi o carro-chefe dessa proteção jurídica, não só o artigo 225, como várias menções de proteção do meio ambiente inseridas ao longo de todo o texto”, explica. "Acho que o problema não é esse. Não é por falta de direitos previstos que a gente vive o que vivemos hoje. É o velho problema da falta de efetividade da legislação ambiental”, avalia Walcacer. Independentemente das mudanças na Constituição, o caminho da judicialização da urgência climática se consolida, seja na França ou na Noruega, nos Estados Unidos, na Colômbia ou no Brasil. A onda começou com o chamado caso Urgendra, nome de uma organização ambientalista que processou o governo da Holanda, em 2013, para exigir uma redução maior das emissões de gases de efeito estufa do país. Dois anos depois, o Tribunal de Justiça de Haia deu parcialmente razão à entidade, num caso que se tornou referência mundial no assunto e inspirou demandas semelhantes pelo mundo. O número de processos por causas climáticas se conta na casa dos milhares ao ano. No Brasil, três ações foram movidas em 2020 contra a política ambiental de Jair Bolsonaro e uma nova foi apresentada na véspera da COP26. "O Superior Tribunal de Justiça tem sido muito firme, tem construído uma jurisprudência muito forte na proteção ambiental, assim como os ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal têm demonstrado uma consciência grande”, afirma o professor da PUC-Rio. "Então eu acho que é por aí: judicializar. Tem sido uma ferramenta utilíssima para barrar os retrocessos mais complicados dos governos."

Welcome to episode 5 of "There is no planet B",  our series of conversations with climate activists.   In this episode host Marlene Halliday chats with activist Ruth Watson about the alternative COP that took place in Kirriemuir throughout the Glasgow COP26 fortnight. The video version of this interview is also available on Independence Live's Youtube channel.

V tomto díle se budeme bavit o Klimatické konferenci, která proběhla v Glasgow a je též známá jako COP26. Jaká témata sa na COP26 probírala, přinesla tato konference výsledky a můžeme očekávat reálné změny v boji proti globalnímu oteplovaní? Tyto otázky probereme s expertkou na klima a energii, Kateřinou Davidovou, ktérá pracuje jako vyzkumná pracovnice pro Institut evropské politiky EUROPEUM. Moderuje Tatiana Mindeková.

Episode 6 (Part 3): COP26 is now over and whilst negotiations continued into the weekend, an agreement was finally reached. In this final instalment of our 'COP26 Special' podcast we hear from RES' CEO, Eduardo Medina and Elizabeth Press, Director, Planning and Programme Support at IRENA about their views on COP26 and how we can start thinking beyond the climate summit. The agreement will only survive if promises are kept, and commitments translate into rapid action.

What did the Glasgow COP26 climate change summit actually achieve? In this episode, we're joined by Jack Marley, energy and environment editor for The Conversation in the UK, as we speak to researchers from around the world to get their views on the negotiations and what needs to happen now. Featuring Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate and Development at the Independent University Bangladesh; Richard Beardsworth, professor of international relations at the University of Leeds in England; Rachel Kyte, dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University in the US; Anna Malos, country lead for Australia at ClimateWorks, part of Monash University in Australia; and Intan Suchi Nurhati, a senior scientist at the National Research and Innovation Agency in Indonesia.And Stephen Khan, global executive editor for The Conversation, based in London, gives us some recommended reading.The Conversation Weekly is produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware, with sound design by Eloise Stevens.

Duas linhas da declaração conjunta assinada por Estados Unidos e China durante a Conferência do Clima de Glasgow (COP26), na semana passada, colocam o agronegócio brasileiro sob pressão. Os dois países, os maiores parceiros comerciais do Brasil, se comprometeram a “apoiar a eliminação do desmatamento ilegal global” via importações – um objetivo que atinge em cheio as exportações agrícolas do país.  Lúcia Müzell, da RFI A China responde por cerca de 30% das vendas do Brasil, sobretudo de matérias-primas. Se Pequim decidir exigir certificação ambiental da soja ou da carne brasileiras, o setor terá urgência em acelerar a rastreabilidade da cadeia, que permite identificar se determinado produto não foi cultivado sobre áreas desmatadas ilegalmente.  A declaração sino-americana na COP26 alega que "a eliminação do desmatamento ilegal global contribuiria significativamente para o esforço de atingir as metas do Acordo de Paris”. Washington e Pequim ressaltam que "pretendem se engajar” no tema "por meio da aplicação efetiva de suas respectivas leis de proibição de importações ilegais”. "O fato de o Brasil ter apresentado na COP26 a meta de redução de 50% das emissões de gases de efeito estufa até 2030 e atingir a neutralidade de carbono até 2050, e do outro lado a China e os Estados Unidos assinarem uma declaração como essa, só reforça a visão de que a agricultura brasileira tem que se descolar do desmatamento ilegal”, frisa Rodrigo Lima, sócio da consultoria especializada Agroícone. "Talvez a forma mais robusta para fazer isso seja a implementação do Código Florestal de forma efetiva. A agricultura brasileira precisa ter o Código Florestal como uma informação positiva e transparente do compliance ambiental e do não desmatamento, para poder vender.” Parceiros cruciais O Brasil é o maior produtor e exportador mundial de soja e atende a mais de 60% da demanda chinesa. Desde o ano passado, o país também se tornou o maior fornecedor de carne bovina para a potência asiática. As duas culturas, entretanto, são apontadas como as principais causadoras do desmatamento da Amazônia e no Cerrado – a floresta é devastada para dar lugar a pastagens, que depois de alguns anos se tornarão área de plantio de soja. O país tem urgência, portanto, em garantir uma cadeia de produção sustentável. Os Estados Unidos já caminham para adotar restrições aos produtos resultado de desmatamento. O Congresso americano estuda um projeto de lei apresentado em outubro, prevendo a medida para commodities como soja, óleo de palma e gado, entre outros. O texto da Lei Florestal 2021, formulado por dois congressistas democratas e que poderá ser adotado em 2022, menciona o Brasil e afirma que "a pecuária é o maior impulsionador do desmatamento na Floresta Amazônica e outros biomas, e 95% de todo o desmatamento ferem a lei”.  A China, por sua vez, se compromete com o tema pela primeira vez. Uma pequena amostra de um corte das importações devido ao desmatamento pode ser sentida neste momento: Pequim paralisou a compra de carne bovina há seis semanas, devido a ocorrência de dois casos de Mal da Vaca Louca. O embargo fez as exportações do setor despencarem 43% em outubro.  A China é o primeiro destino das exportações do Brasil: no primeiro semestre, as vendas cresceram 39,5%, na comparação com o mesmo período de 2020, num total de mais de US$ 47 bilhões. O volume exportado para os Estados Unidos, o segundo colocado, foi mais de três vezes menor, chegando a US$ 13,3 bi, conforme dados da Comex. Desafio da rastreabilidade Muni Lourenço, vice-presidente da Confederação Nacional da Agricultura e Pecuária (CNA), alega que, apesar dos recordes recorrentes do desmatamento nos últimos anos, o problema é uma questão “residual”, que ocorre em 2% dos mais de 5 milhões de produtores registrados no Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR), previsto no Código Florestal. "A nossa posição é que a questão do desmatamento ilegal vai além da operação de comando e controle. A punição deve haver, claro. Mas tão importante quanto são as políticas públicas como de regularização fundiária, regularização ambiental, infraestrutura, assistência técnica para os pequenos produtos, para que os produtores possa intensificar a sua produção na área permitia de produção, sem a necessidade de pressão de abertura de novas áreas”, assegura. "Na rastreabilidade, nós acreditamos que seja muito importante um processo que já está em curso, de análise dos Cadastros Ambientais Rurais pelos órgãos de governo, principalmente dos Estados, para a adesão ao PRA, também previsto no Código Florestal, para os produtores com passivo ambiental”, salienta. Os grandes frigoríficos brasileiros aperfeiçoam a rastreabilidade da sua produção, mas o maior desafio é o controle de pequenos produtores – cuja carne acaba entrando na cadeia, extremamente vasta, do setor. Arnaldo Carneiro Filho, ex-pesquisador do Ipam (Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais na Amazônia) e fundador da consultoria Sinapsis, especialista no tema, avalia que o Brasil já é capaz de oferecer essa garantia, mas ainda não a implementa como deveria. "Do ponto de vista de conhecimento, isso não é mais um desafio para o Brasil. A gente sabe como resolver. Eles têm a capacidade tecnológica de monitorar a cadeia como um todo – desde o fornecimento dos indiretos, que é o maior grande gargalo. A rastreabilidade é possível, não só territorial como a transferência, via block chain, dessa informação para dentro da indústria”, explica Carneiro. “No caso da cadeia da pecuária, o Brasil consome 80% da sua produção de carne. Ou seja, tem um desafio interno, de conscientização, de combate à grilagem de terras, que é fundamental. O que nos salva é que boa parte do mercado de exportação são aquelas que abastecem o mercado interno. Então se conseguirmos um alinhamento, fechamos os dois mercados.” União Europeia prestes a anunciar medidas Além dos dois gigantes chinês e americano, os europeus também estão prestes a apertar o cerco contra o desmatamento importado, de acordo com uma proposta da Comissão Europeia a ser divulgada nos próximos dias. A verificação das áreas de plantio poderia ser comprovada por satélites da própria UE, conforme antecipou o comissário europeu do Meio Ambiente, o francês Pascal Canfin, à agência Ansa. Desta forma, o bloco se dota de mais meios para comprovar a veracidade da documentação entregue pelo Brasil, sobre as suas exportações.  O avanço do desmatamento da Amazônia no início do governo de Jair Bolsonaro representa a principal entrave para a ratificação do acordo comercial entre o bloco e o Mercosul. O tratado foi assinado em 2019 entre as duas partes, mas a sua entrada em vigor encontra-se paralisada. 

La Cumbre sobre el Cambio Climático de Glasgow (COP26) ha concluido con el tibio compromiso de los líderes mundiales por combatir el cambio climático y algunas cuestiones decisivas sin resolver pero también con algunos acuerdos e iniciativas esperanzadoras. Cristina Álvarez, directora de ISR de CaixaBank AM, Ana Rivero, responsable Global de Estrategia de Mercado y ASG de Santander AM, Isabel Vento, responsable de desarrollo de negocio de BlackRock han extraído algunas de esas lecciones positivas y han enumerado los principales retos y oportunidades que deja para la industria de gestión de activos.

V současnosti je průměrná teplota planety o 1,18 °C vyšší než v roce 1880. Množství skleníkových plynů, které globálně vypustíme do ovzduší, je i přes snahy klimatického hnutí každý rok vyšší, a kdybychom takto pokračovali, atmosféra by se na konci tohoto století oteplila skoro o 5 stupňů. Vědci z IPCC se přitom shodli, že relativně bezpečné oteplení by nemělo přesáhnout 1,5 °C. Jak se k tomuto cíli dostat? Přesně o tom byla klimatická konference OSN v Glasgow COP26.

Episode 6 (Part 2): We are now in the second week of COP26 and in this episode we continue to take the temperature of the climate conference. As the hard work on the summit's 'final decision text' continues in negotiation rooms, we asked some of those focused on delivering low carbon solutions what they wanted to see from COP26, and what positive action can be taken now to achieve a net zero future.

Australian PM, Scott Morrison (pictured) Is urging us to take more of the medicine that made the world ill in the first place, "Can do capitalism", and again pointing his finger, has declared that what Australians don't need, or want more of, is people such as himself telling them what to do - he wants the government off our backs. And while the Australian Government is effectively doing nothing about trying to head off climate change, some such as PNG's Climate Change Minister, Wera Mori, is pleading for Australia to act more like a genuine global citizen and do more to lower its emissions. We are also getting the same message from Tuvalu via an address given to the Glasgow COP26 by a speaker up to his knees in the ocean, a rising ocean.

The UN Climate Summit in Glasgow (COP26) is in its second week. It's been marked by large street protests, a "greenwash trade show" inside the meetings and empty promises by world leaders in the face of climate disaster. Green and Red focuses on movements and what's happening in the streets, so we'll be talking more with organizers and "outside voices" in Glasgow than you'll hear from mainstream media channels. Bob's off on assignment, so Scott's been on top of our Glasgow coverage. He starts with an update with Matt Leonard (@MattOakland) from the Oil and Gas Action Network (@oil_action). Matt's been there for a couple of weeks supporting street actions targeting world leaders like Joe Biden and Boris Johnson, as well as fossil fuel execs and Wall Street bankers wining and dining their way through the climate talks. He talked about reactions and moods of people there, people powered street actions, global climate politics, the role of corporations at COP26 and greenwashing. Scott then gets an update from Emma Rae Lierley (@EmmaRaeLierley) with Rainforest Action Network (@RAN). They discussed Saturday's march and the invisibilization of Indigenous leadership and delegations by the media. They also discussed the (empty) pledge by world leaders to stop deforestation by 2030, the role of reactionary countries such as Brazil and Indonesia and the importance of Indigenous land and forest defenders in stopping deforestation and climate crises. Finally, they also talked about corporations at COP26, public relations strategies, greenwashing and "Net Zero by 2050." We'll be having more voices from Glasgow joining us this week.

Klimatmötet i Glasgow (COP26) är inne på sin andra vecka. Världens ledare är samlade, och en hel del nya steg har tagits vad gäller frågor om kolkraft och avskogning. Men görs tillräckligt – och är det rätt saker som görs? Vad vore den mest effektiva klimatpolitiken? Bör man betrakta klimatförändringarna som ekonomiska problem? John Hassler, professor i nationalekonomi vid Stockholms universitet, och Ellen Gustafsson, ansvarig för miljö- och klimatfrågor på Timbro, ger oss en guide till mötet och diskuterar varför koldioxidprissättning är ett av de viktigaste reformförslagen för klimatet. Catarina Kärkkäinen leder samtalet.

"You can shove your climate crisis up your arse", said Greta Thunberg. "How many more signs do we need?", asked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "“And this is a chance, in my view, to make a generational investment in our economic resilience and in our workers and our communities throughout the world," said Joe Biden. Another climate conference, and another year of incredible disasters linked to climate change. Intensive hurricanes and cyclones. Burning temperatures, and an entire town burned to the ground in minutes amid wild fires in British Columbia. Are politicians finally taking definitive action on the climate crisis? If they are? What does it look like? Can we pump the breaks on carbon intensive industries? Do we have enough available alternatives at the ready to get the global economy off of carbon? Here to answer these questions and to weigh in on the Glasgow COP26 conference, it's none other that our regular guest on GDP: Dr. Anders Hayden. Anders Hayden is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is particularly interested in the evolving balance between efforts to promote ecological modernization (“green growth”) and sufficiency-based challenges to the endless growth of production and consumption. He has written on efforts to promote "green growth" in Canada, Britain, and the European Union. His interest in the sufficiency approach has included examination of policies and initiatives to reduce hours of work as well as research on Bhutan, a country that has established Gross National Happiness, rather than Gross National Product, as its overriding goal. He is currently involved in research on the political and policy impacts of alternative measures of wellbeing and prosperity (“beyond GDP” measurement). He is the author of two books: When Green Growth Is Not Enough: Climate Change, Ecological Modernization, and Sufficiency (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2014) and Sharing the Work, Sparing the Planet: Work Time, Consumption & Ecology (Zed Books / Between the Lines, 1999), and co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Global Sustainability Governance (Routledge, 2020).

Glasgow COP26 marches in the rain into the unknown future behind the inflatable cow.  Katrina Vanden Heuvel @TheNation https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/cop26-summit-media-analysis/

Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with special guest Roger Helmer who served in the political arena as a member of the European Parliament representing the United Kingdom, and serving in the Conservative and the UKIP parties, respectively. We review the policies proposed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (also known as COP26) held in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Roger Helmer shares his concerns about the current energy crisis in Europe - and how the transition to renewable sources of energy may adversely impact Americans. Moreover, these policies are examined in light of concerns that they will hurt poor nations in Africa and lead to massive migration movements in the future. Further reading: The Wind Turbine Failures Behind Europe's Energy Crisis Are a Warning for America (https://www.newsweek.com/wind-turbine-failures-europe-energy-crisis-warning-america-fossil-fuels-1643011) "The ongoing energy crisis in Europe has shown how nations will experience "growing pains" from a switch to renewable sources of energy including wind power, according to experts who spoke to Newsweek. The situation across the Atlantic may provide a warning for the U.S., with President Joe Biden having set a goal to decarbonize the nation's power grid by 2035 and the whole U.S. economy by 2050. Decarbonizing the power grid will involve a transition to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, which can be less reliable than traditional fossil fuels. Europe's recent experience with wind turbines could be instructive for the United States. Energy and transport ministers from 27 European Union (EU) countries gathered for an emergency meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday amid rising fuel costs on the continent. The crisis has come amid a 20 percent reduction in output in the wind power sector and and rising costs of oil and gas, as reported by Forbes." Roger Helmer served in the political arena as a member of the European Parliament representing the United Kingdom and serving in the Conservative and the UKIP parties, respectively. He started his business career in 1965 with Procter & Gamble, going on to hold senior marketing and general management appointments in a range of companies, including Readers Digest and National Semiconductor. Mr. Helmer has published two books on European issues, "Straight Talking on Europe" in 2000, and "A Declaration of Independence" in 2002. He also served as Chairman of The Freedom Association in the United Kingdom. He was a leading figure in the Better Off Out campaign - the Brexit Movement, that called for the UK to leave the European Union. Mr. Helmer is one of the founding members of Jerusalem Leaders Summit in Israel and has spoken at numerous events organized by the International Leaders Summit in Washington, DC, Brussels, and Eastern Europe. https://ileaderssummit.org/services/americas-roundtable-radio/ https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Greta Thunberg (pictured) has declared COP26 in Glasgow to be little more than a "greenwash festival" and more "blah, blah, blah". Here is the story from Friday's Shepparton News telling readers about the intention of the Member for Nicholls to fly to Glasgow, today, October 7. Federal Member for Nicholls Damian Drum is joining a delegation to Glasgow for the final two days of the UN Climate Change Conference, followed by a fact-finding mission talking to conservative MPs from Europe and North America. Mr Drum leaves on Sunday on a 10-day trip that nearly didn't happen because he did not want to be stuck in quarantine instead of attending the next parliamentary sitting in Canberra. Mr Drum said the relaxation of quarantine rules for returning vaccinated Australians opened the door for the mission to separate net-zero fact from fiction. “We will be dealing with a lot of conservative MPs from around the world, working together to share our experiences on how ideas are working and mainly I'm seeing this predominantly as a fact-finding mission,” he said. Mr Drum said he hoped to emerge with a clear sense of the real issues and challenges posed by a 2050 net-zero emissions target. “If the world is already moving, we need to also move with it, but we need to move with it in a way that we are not going to impact negatively on our people,” he said. The Nationals signed up to the target and a plan that relies heavily on new technology to achieve it and the concession of a “climate cop” in the form of the Productivity Commission, which will ensure regional communities don't pay a high price. “If the price of energy was to spike in the Goulburn Valley, we would have thousands and thousands of households that can't pay their energy bills tomorrow and then they go off to work in an energy-intensive food production company where the main conversation around the water cooler is ‘what's our future look like now that the cost of energy has gone through the roof?'” Mr Drum said. “We've seen that with the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, we do not want to go down that path. I refuse to lead my community down a path where we rip the carpet out from under them and then try and polish the concrete.” Mr Drum will visit an offshore wind farm near Hull and renewable energy projects around York before heading to London for further talks. “We've got a pretty strong group of MPs from England, Scotland, Ireland, Britain, America, and so it's a great opportunity,” he said. “If you want to actually be able to stand up and talk credibly on it, this is a great opportunity to go over there and to be able to meet the people, ask the questions, you know, is Britain really putting aside hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars because it more or less acknowledges that the agricultural sector is going to get it in the neck?” Mr Drum said the knowledge gained could be used to achieve better outcomes and to forewarn the watchdog of the likely pitfalls.

On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we kickoff our two week special coverage of COP26 in Glasgow with Time Magazine's Justin Worland, senior correspondent covering climate change, about what to expect from this year's critical United Nation's conference on climate change. Justin explains the biggest issues on the table at this year's negotiations, why this year's conference is a big test for multilateralism, and what it's like to be in Glasgow during the meetings. He also talks about his recent piece "The Diplomat: John Kerry Brings America Back To The Climate Fight" and what COP26 could mean for the legacy of the US Special Presidential Envoy on Climate. Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also react to COP26 President Alok Sharma's kickoff press conference and discuss the stakes for world leaders as they gather for the opening days as the conference begins with a rocky start.  Subscribe to Time Magazine's Climate Newsletter Thank you to our sponsor Octopus Energy, a 100% renewable electricity supplier.

The human experience is really just one long ongoing story and climate change is just another chapter, but if we want to get to the second edition of this book, we must begin to focus on real stories and not just fanciful and misleading tales that are taking us straight to hell. Professor Peter Stott and his co-founder of Climate Stories, Pierrette Thomet, are acutely aware of the power of stories to help pilot us on this troublesome journey and so have created a project that provides a rich understanding of who and what we are and where we fit in this sometimes confusing array of never-ending tales.

Professor Vinayak Dixit of the University of New South Wales explains the importance of climate change as the COP26 summit kicks off in Glasgow. He informs about India's position on climate change and Australia's steps to reduce carbon emissions.

Leading up to the UN's 26th Climate Summit in Glasgow (COP26), Sophie and guest co-presenter Emma Brisdion (the producer is multi-skilled!) look up - and delve into the astonishing world of trees.  To help them on their quest to find out just why we need trees and woodland, and how they're under threat, they chat to actor, fellow podcaster, environmentalist and total tree nerd, David Oakes. Fresh off the set of an upcoming viking Netflix series, Sophie and Emma pick David's brains on why trees are so fundamental - not just for ecosystem health and climate resilience - but also for preserving human culture and society.  Also coming up: Emma debuts a corker of a fact in the #FactOff and tests Sophie in a bit of a QUIZ. Need we say more? Dive on in!  Are you a beaver believer? We want to hear from you: Beaver Trust.  Want more beaver?

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news sharply rising commodity prices are being caused by shortages that are undermining economic activity. Inflation with stagnation.First up today, the price of copper is taking off again. Its price hit a record high at the end of last week as surging power prices threaten to curb supply at a time when stocks are at rock bottom. The crunch will hurt China the most, as it consumes more than all other countries combined. However, it controls little production and is on a fast hunt for supplies it can control, especially in Africa.And the price if zinc has risen a spectacular +30% in the past ten days. This is caused by sharply rising European power prices which are forcing smelters to shut down.Prices are in focus this week. Today the New Zealand CPI data will be released for Q3 and it is expected to show prices rising north of 4% and an annual rate, and maybe at a 5.3% annualised rate in Q3.Then China will reveal its Q3 economic growth rate. Commodity prices, supply-chain problems, Evergrande and Delta all may have an impact on the quarter's result.The northern hemisphere winter is approaching and every country from China to the US is struggling with high energy costs that will sharply raise the costs of winter heating this year. In the US, a new analysis shows that those using heating oil will pay more than +40% more than last year; those using propane +50% more.Every country is hungry for fuel, and none more so than China.Globally, future energy use will be dominated by electricity generation, and the big increases required to 2050 will come from solar, it has been forecast. The same estimates also show that while they won't grow, the use of coal and natural gas will still be a big and important fuel sources for electricity generation for the next 30 years at least. These estimates don't see nuclear making any comeback.In China, there has been a rare public comment from Beijing on the Evergrande situation, and it was to squash fears of systemic risk. Their central bank has rebuked the company calling it "poorly managed" and wants Evergrande to step up asset disposals and resume its stalled projects. And the official said most individual financial institutions did not have highly concentrated exposures to Evergrande.Despite these soothing comments, the Chinese Communist Party's anti-corruption unit has dispatched inspectors to 25 financial institutions, including top state-owned banks, in what appears to be a crackdown prompted by the Evergrande debt crisis.In the US, data out over the weekend for September shows retail sales have been stronger than in earlier indications. They increased +0.7% from August, and August was revised up to a +0.9% gain, both beating market forecasts of a small fall. It is another sign of resilience from consumers despite supply constraints affecting vehicles and computers. The biggest increases were seen in sales at sporting goods, general merchandise stores, and at petrol stations.But American shoppers aren't feeling that buoyant. The widely-watched University of Michigan survey slipped back slightly to levels that were as weak in the early stages of the pandemic. Something doesn't quite square between spending freely and feeling apprehensive.Even though the New York Fed's Empire State survey of factories fell back to August levels, they are reporting growth above its long term trend, widespread price increases that seem to be able to be passed on, and optimism about the future.However, American firms generally are finding it almost impossible to pass those rising costs on in their export prices, and are just having to suck it up with sharply rising import prices.Canadian factories have the same cost pressures with producer prices up +15% year-on-year to September, although there has been a small slowing over the past few months.The economic implications of being left out of the global economy are worrying the Australians. Their prime minister looks like he is ready to adopt some sort of soft carbon target, but not because it is the right thing to go for the global climate, but because "climate change is as much about the global economy as the environment, and Australia will be left behind if it does not respond". And it also looks like he has been shamed into going to the Glasgow COP26 climate summit.The UST 10yr yield opens today down -1 bp to be now at 1.57%.The price of gold has slipped by -US$1 to US$1767/oz.And oil prices are another +50 USc higher at just on US$82/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just under US$84.50/bbl. The number of new US rigs in production has now almost doubled in the past year. But despite the recent fast return, it is still only a quarter of what it was ten years ago.The Kiwi dollar opens today at just on 70.7 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are at 95.3 AUc. Against the euro we are at 61 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts the week at just on 74.4, up +130 bps since this time last week and now well over the top of the 72-74 range of the past eleven months.The bitcoin price has firmed very slightly from this time Saturday, up +0.7% to be now at US61,771. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/-1.1%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Tom's insight from his first hand negotiations at Paris 2015 tee-up our expectations for Glasgow COP26 with a message of respectful balance between the "blah blah blah" and the turning wheels of politics, as we all travel along the highway to change. Produced by @IAmTheHow

At the organization's big climate change meeting this year in Glasgow (COP26), the United Nations is snubbing participation by Big Oil. While they have issued press releases about how they would like to be part of the solution, the UN contents that the oil industry has yet to agree on science-based plans for how it will reduce carbon emissions. 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is flip-flopping on attending the Glasgow climate change conference again and may now attend after he was lightly savaged by Prince Charles for threatening to be a no-show at the event.Senior government sources have confirmed this morning that attending remains a live option, but they have firmly rejected the idea that the intervention by the heir to the British throne is a factor in Mr Morrison's thinking.Instead, they argue that a range of factors are contributing to his deliberations. This week, the Prime Minister is wrestling with the Nationals over the adoption of a new climate change target.Prince Charles has warned world leaders – including Scott Morrison – that the Glasgow COP26 summit is a “last chance saloon” for climate change action, expressing surprise that the Australian Prime Minister may not even turn up.Speaking in the gardens of his house on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, Prince Charles has told the BBC that the world is facing a “disaster” and a “catastrophe”.Prince Charles appeared genuinely taken aback at reports that the Australian Prime Minister might be a no-show at the Glasgow climate change conference.Prince Charles appeared taken aback at the possibility Scott Morrison might not go to Glasgow. Photo / Ella Pellegrini“Scott Morrison, the Australian PM, isn't even certain that he could make it to the meeting in Glasgow,'' the BBC interviewer says during the interview.“I, is that what he says, does he? Mmm,'' Prince Charles responds. He then goes on to explain why he's fought so hard to encourage world leaders to attend.“The point being that this is a last chance saloon. If we don't really take the decisions that are vital now, it's going to be almost impossible to catch up,'' he says.“It will be a disaster. I mean it will be catastrophic. It is already beginning to be catastrophic because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather.”The Prime Minister has been gripped with indecision over whether to attend for weeks after he first flagged that he might not attend during his trip to the US last month.At the time, he admitted the prospect of another fortnight in quarantine when he returns was not a prospect that delighted him.On October 1, he noted it would be his fourth two-week quarantine stint in six months if he were to attend the summit, which he nonetheless described as very important.Malcolm Turnbull has also been critical of the PM's indecision, and threatens to overshadow his attendance. Photo / NCA Newsire“I will have spent, if I do that, a total of four times 14-day quarantine, basically, in this building, not being able to engage in my normal duties around the country as much as I would like to,'' Mr Morrison said.“That's a long time for a prime minister to be in quarantine in a six-month period.”However, with the NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet promising to fast-track home quarantine to seven days, the Prime Minister may end up being able to quarantine at home in Kirribilli in Sydney.Once again, government sources say that's not the only reason Mr Morrison may attend but it would be a sweetener if he could cut his quarantine time in half.Mr Morrison has been savaged by former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over hinting he may not even turn up to represent Australia at the climate change conference.“History is made by those who turn up,'' Mr Turnbull said, adding that if he didn't go to Glasgow it would “send a strong message about his priorities”.Mr Turnbull himself is promising to attend the Glasgow conference and he's flying in mining magnate Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest's private jet to get there. His attendance means Mr Morrison's visit is likely to be overshadowed by his predecessor's outbursts at the international talks.“We should be updating our 2030 target,” Mr Turnbull said. “That was always the intention to update these targets every five years and I am very disappointed the g...

Het meest recente IPPC-klimaatrapport laat geen misverstand over de dramatische gevolgen van de opwarming van de aarde en de menselijke hand daarin bestaan. De vrieskou tussen wereldmogendheden zorgt dat de spanning in aanloop naar de klimaattop in Glasgow (COP26) het kookpunt nadert. Wat kunnen we verwachten van COP26 en wat betekent dat voor beleggers?

He works for a public sector agency promoting the opportunities for business to benefit from low carbon heating and water technologies. Neil had a mid-life career change from accountant to working in sustainable development then energy. This book arose from Neil's frustration that so many people lack a basic understanding of climate change and its serious impacts. Education is the first step towards taking action.

It was a pleasure to invite Joshua Busby back into the virtual studio to discuss the Leaders’ Earth Summit just recently concluded and the current state of climate efforts to reduce emissions and keep the average temperature to as close to 1.5 degrees Celsius ads possible. President Biden invited 40 world leaders to the Leaders’ Summit on Climate which he hosted virtually on April 22nd and 23rd. The Summit brought together the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate, which brought together the 17 countries responsible for approximately 80 percent of global emissions and global GDP. The President also invited the heads of other countries that are demonstrating strong climate leadership, are especially vulnerable to climate impacts, or are charting innovative pathways to a net-zero economy. A small number of business and civil society leaders also participated in the Summit. This Earth Day Summit is a major event on the road to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) scheduled for this fall in Glasgow. What was committed to by Leaders to this Summit? Where were commitments not made and what are the consequences? What can we expect from the Glasgow COP26 meeting in October following the G20 Leaders Summit in Rome? All of this is part of the discussion that Josh and I had on the continuing global climate change efforts. Joshua Busby is an Associate Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin and a Distinguished Scholar at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law. In 2018, Josh joined the Center for Climate & Security as a Senior Research Fellow. Josh is the author of numerous studies on climate change, national security, and energy policy that have been published by peer-reviewed academic outlets and various think tanks.
