Die Verenigde Nasies se Klimaatsveranderingsliggaam doen 'n beroep op lande om hulle nuwe klimaatsteikens teen September in te dien. Dit volg na China, Indië en die Europese Unie, wat van die grootste besoedelaars is, die spertyd vir nuwe teikens misgeloop het. Lande moet ingevolge die 2015-Parys-klimaatooreenkoms elke vyf jaar gedetailleerde planne voorlê, met duidelike teikens vir koolstofvrystellings of in die geval van armer lande vir die vermindering daarvan. Simon Stiell van die VN sê die G20-groep is verantwoordelik vir 80-persent van globale vrystellings:
Simon Stiell discursou em Brasília pedindo por acordos concretos que reforcem o financiamento climático e medidas de adaptação; ele citou aumentos de preços de alimentos causados por desastres naturais e ressaltou oportunidades econômicas da transição energética.
US President Donald Trump has begun his promised flurry of executive action on Day 1. With his first batch of memoranda and orders, Trump repealed dozens of former President Joe Biden's actions and withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords, among other actions. He also said he's pardoned hundreds of people for their roles in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, the AP reported.据美联社报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在其上任首日便开始兑现承诺，采取了一系列行政行动。特朗普通过首批备忘录和命令，废除了前总统乔·拜登的数十项举措，并宣布美国退出《巴黎气候协定》等。他还表示，已赦免数百名参与2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的人员。Trump, meanwhile, has additional executive orders awaiting his signature as he returns to the White House for the first time since his swearing-in earlier in the day. Those documents would end diversity, equity and inclusion funding, crack down on border crossings and ease regulations on oil and natural gas production. 与此同时，特朗普在当天早些时候宣誓就职后首次返回白宫时，还有其他行政命令等待他签署。这些文件将终止“多元化、公平性和包容性”计划资金，打击非法越境行为，并放宽石油和天然气生产的监管。Quitting Paris climate deal退出《巴黎气候协定》The White House said Monday that Donald Trump, who was inaugurated as the 47th US president, will pull the US out of the Paris climate accord, Xinhua reported.据新华社报道，1月20日，白宫表示，宣誓就任美国第47任总统的唐纳德·特朗普将带领美国退出《巴黎气候协定》。The move, expected in an executive order Trump will sign later in the day, is part of the president's effort to "MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN," read the statement.该声明称，特朗普将在当天晚些时候签署的一项行政命令中采取这一行动，这是总统为“让美国再次负担得起并实现能源主导”所做努力的一部分。The first Trump administration officially let the United States, one of the world's top emitters of greenhouse gases, exit the Paris climate accord in November 2020, dealing a major blow to international efforts combating the climate crisis. The upcoming executive order by Trump will mark another round of back-and-forth move regarding US commitment to dealing with climate change on the global stage, per Xinhua report.特朗普第一任政府曾在2020年11月正式让美国退出《巴黎气候协定》，而该国是全球温室气体排放量最高的国家之一，这给国际应对气候危机的努力造成重大打击。据新华社报道，特朗普即将签署的行政命令将标志着美国在全球舞台上应对气候变化的承诺再次陷入反复。"The US withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is unfortunate, but multilateral climate action has proven resilient and is stronger than any single country's politics and policies," said Laurence Tubiana, a key architect of the accord. UN climate chief Simon Stiell added the "door remains open" for Washington, France 24 reported.“美国退出《巴黎协定》是不幸的，但多边气候行动已经证明其具有韧性，且比任何一个国家的政治和政策都要强大，”该协定的主要设计者劳伦斯·图比亚纳说道。据法国24新闻台报道，联合国气候事务负责人西蒙·斯蒂尔补充说，面向华盛顿的“大门仍然敞开”。Additionally, Trump plans to declare an energy emergency as he promises to "drill, baby, drill," and says he will eliminate what he calls Biden's electric vehicle mandate, the AP reported.据美联社报道，特朗普还计划宣布进入能源紧急状态，承诺“开采吧，宝贝，开采吧”，并表示将废除他所谓的“拜登的电动汽车强制令”。Withdrawing from WHO退出世界卫生组织President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation's standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic, the New York Times reported.据《纽约时报》报道，1月20日，特朗普迅速采取行动，让美国退出世界卫生组织。公共卫生专家表示，此举将损害美国在全球卫生领域的领导地位，并使抗击下一场大流行病变得更加困难。In an executive order issued about eight hours after he took the oath of office, Trump cited a string of reasons for the withdrawal, including the WHO's "mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic," and the "failure to adopt urgently needed reforms." 特朗普在宣誓就职约8小时后就发布了一项行政命令，其中列举了退出世卫组织的多个原因，包括世卫组织“对新冠肺炎疫情处理不当”，以及“未能实施急需的改革”。Tariffs and inflation 关税与通货膨胀On Monday evening, Trump also signed a largely symbolic memorandum that he described as directing every federal agency to combat consumer inflation. By repealing Biden actions, Trump also is trying to ease regulatory burdens on oil and natural gas production, something he promises will help bring down costs of all consumer goods. Trump specifically wants to make it easier to extract fossil fuels in Alaska, the AP reported.1月20日晚上，特朗普还签署了一份主要具有象征意义的备忘录，他表示该备忘录旨在指示所有联邦机构打击消费者通货膨胀。通过废除拜登的政策，特朗普还试图减轻石油和天然气生产方面的监管负担，他承诺这将有助于降低所有消费品的成本。据美联社报道，特朗普特别希望在阿拉斯加州开采化石燃料变得更容易。On trade, the president said he expects to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting on February 1, but declined to flesh out his plans for taxing Chinese imports, according to the AP.据美联社报道，在贸易方面，特朗普表示预计从2月1日起对加拿大和墨西哥征收25%的关税，但拒绝详细说明他对中国进口商品的征税计划。However, CNN said in a fact check article that "In his inaugural address, Trump said, 'Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.' But this description of tariffs is false. Tariffs imposed by the US government are paid by US importers, not foreign countries."然而，美国有线电视新闻网在一篇事实核查文章中称，“特朗普在就职演说中说：‘我们不会向本国公民征税来使其他国家富裕，而是对外国征收关税和税款，让我们的公民富裕起来。'但这种对关税的描述是错误的。美国政府征收的关税由美国进口商支付，而非外国”。End Biden-era border policies终结拜登时代的边境政策Trump has issued broad pushback to former president Biden's immigration policies, vowing to use his first day in office to "terminate every open-borders policy of the Biden administration," according to NBC. 据美国全国广播公司报道，特朗普对前总统拜登的移民政策表示强烈反对，誓言将在上任首日“终止拜登政府的所有开放边境政策”。Trump also said during a New Hampshire campaign event in October that he would "use Title 42," a public health law that was implemented toward the start of the COVID-19 crisis and allowed the White House to deport migrants faster. The law was continued partway through the Biden administration but the government stopped using it in 2023, NBC reported.特朗普还在十月新罕布什尔州竞选活动中表示，他将“启用《第42条》”，这是一项在新冠肺炎疫情初期实施的公共卫生法律，允许白宫加速驱逐移民。据美国全国广播公司报道，该法律在拜登政府执政期间一度继续生效，但在2023年已被停止使用。The AP reported that Trump declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, and he plans to send US troops to help support immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum. He's also pledged to restart a policy that forced asylum seekers to wait over the border in Mexico, but officials didn't say whether Mexico would accept migrants again. During the previous effort, squalid and fetid camps grew on the border and were marred by gang violence. Trump is also promising to end birthright citizenship, but it's unclear how he'd do it—it's enshrined in the US Constitution.据美联社报道，特朗普宣布美国与墨西哥边境进入国家紧急状态，并计划派遣美军协助移民局人员，限制难民和庇护申请。他还承诺重启一项政策，迫使寻求庇护者在墨西哥边境等待，但官员们没有说明墨西哥是否会再次接受移民。在之前的行动中，边境上出现了肮脏恶臭的营地，并遭到帮派暴力的破坏。特朗普还承诺要废除出生公民权，但尚不清楚他将如何兑现——因为出生公民权已被写入美国宪法。Trump also is ending the CBP One app, a Biden-era border app that gave legal entry to nearly 1 million migrants, according to the AP.据美联社报道，特朗普还终止了CBP One应用程序，这是拜登时期推出的一款边境应用程序，曾为近100万移民提供合法入境的途径。squalidadj.极其肮脏的，污秽的fetidadj.恶臭的；腐臭的

Die Verenigde Nasies se klimaatshoof, Simon Stiell, sê leiers van die wêreld se grootste ekonomieë het hulle verbind om finansiële hervorming te bevorder om sterk klimaatsoptrede binne alle lande se bereik te plaas. Besprekings oor die behoefte om klimaatsfinansiering vinnig en aansienlik op te stoot, het deel gevorm van die COP29-beraad in Azerbeidjan se hoofstad, Baku. Stiell sê lande moet baie vinniger beweeg na ʼn skoon-energie en klimaatbestande wêreldekonomie:
Os ministros dos países membros do Acordo de Paris têm até sexta-feira para definir como financiar um trilião de dólares por ano. O secretário executivo da ONU para o Clima, Simon Stiell, pediu menos “teatro” e mais acção. Nélio Zunguza, economista agrário moçambicano e coordenador executivo da Plataforma Juvenil para Acção Climática YCAC MOZ lamenta que os mais altos representantes das nações tenham escolhido ir ao Brasil, ao G20, em vez de virem à COP29. Os ministros dos países membros do Acordo de Paris têm até sexta-feira para definir como financiar um trilião de dólares por ano. O secretário executivo da ONU para o Clima, Simon Stiell, pediu menos “teatro” e mais acção.Na base da discórdia está o clássico pingue-pongue entre países ricos e o resto do mundo, com o financiamento e os esforços de redução de emissões de gases a serem empurrados de um lado para o outro.Mas se as decisões se querem em Baku, o dinheiro e poder estão concentrados, até esta terça-feira, no Rio de Janeiro, na cimeira do G20, onde o secretário-geral da ONU, António Guterres, pediu “compromissos” para salvar a COP29.A participar na cimeira do clima, no Azerbaijão, está Nélio Zunguza, economista agrário moçambicano e coordenador executivo da Plataforma Juvenil para Acção Climática YCAC MOZ. Em declarações à RFI, lamenta que os mais altos representantes das nações tenham escolhido ir ao Brasil ao G20, em vez de virem à COP29:Nós vimos o número dos tomadores de decisão, ao mais alto nível que se deslocaram a esta COP, foi um número bastante reduzido para as últimas duas COP's que eu pude assistir e isso já é um sinal. Mas, entretanto, começou recentemente o G20 e temos a China, os Estados Unidos, ao mais alto nível de representação.Qual é a mensagem que queremos transmitir?Será que as COP's ainda têm relevância? O que é que se pretende? Se têm, como é que isso se torna efectivo? Numa COP em que o objectivo único é o financiamento, até agora não estamos a ter clareza em termos de estrutura, de como é que esse financiamento estará disponível. E estamos a precisar de recursos para responder aos eventos climáticos extremos.Nélio Zunguza integrou igualmente um painel intitulado “O impacto das políticas climáticas da União Europeia nos países em desenvolvimento: o do CBAM (Mecanismo de ajustamento carbónico fronteiriço) em Moçambique. O encontro teve em foco o CABM e estivemos a conversar com jovens moçambicanos e jovens europeus, sobre quais seriam as implicações reais sob o ponto de vista socioeconómico para a vida dos jovens, mas também olhando para aquilo que é o contrabalanço em termos de ganhos ambientais nesta jornada de transição justa, principalmente para Moçambique. A COP29 decorre até dia 22 de Novembro em Baku, capital do Azerbaijão.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta terça-feira (12/11/2024): No centro da delação do delator Antônio Vinícius Lopes Gritzbach, assassinado sexta-feira no Aeroporto de Guarulhos, estão policiais de dois departamentos de Polícia Civil e duas delegacias da cidade de SP. Gritzbach relatou como inquéritos foram supostamente manipulados por policiais para livrar integrantes do PCC da acusação de crimes, mediante pagamento de propinas em dinheiro ou pela transferência da propriedade de imóveis. O secretário Guilherme Derrite (Segurança Pública) disse que vai afastar os policiais civis citados na delação, sem citar quantos e quem são esses agentes. A Corregedoria da corporação abriu três inquéritos para apurar informações. O principal alvo das denúncias é a equipe envolvida na apuração dos assassinatos ligados à guerra dentro do PCC em torno do bilionário negócio do tráfico internacional de drogas. Só uma das propinas pagas por um dos investigados teria chegado, segundo ele, a R$ 70 milhões.

Die Verenigde Nasies se uitvoerende hoofsekretaris vir klimaatsverandering, Simon Stiell, sê nasies moet meer doen voor die COP29-beraad wat in November in Baku, Azerbeidjan, plaasvind. Ontwikkelende lande wat China uitsluit, sal na raming teen 2030 jaarliks meer as 36 miljard Namibiese dollar nodig hê om klimaatsverandering te hanteer. Stiell sê regerings moet hul nasionale klimaatsplanne verskerp wat elke sektor en alle kweekhuisgasse dek en so meer geld ontsluit:

*) Israel will invade Rafah and return to Khan Younis — minister Israel's war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has claimed without proof that Palestinian resistance group Hamas has been defeated militarily and the Israeli army will invade Rafah and reoccupy Khan Younis, a local media outlet reported. *) EU lawmakers approve major revamp of pact on migration and asylum European Union lawmakers have approved a major revamp of the bloc's migration laws on how to manage the entry of thousands of people without authorisation. The members of the European Parliament voted on Wednesday on the "Pact on Migration and Asylum", regulations and policies meant to help address the issue of who should take responsibility for migrants and asylum seekers when they arrive. The proceedings were briefly interrupted by a group of demonstrators in the public gallery who wore shirts marked “this pact kills” and said “vote no!” The 27 EU member countries must now endorse the reform package, possibly in a vote in late April before it can enter force. *) South Korea's PM, top officials offer resignations over election defeat South Korea's prime minister and senior presidential officials have offered to resign en masse, media reports said, after their conservative ruling party suffered a crushing defeat in parliamentary elections. The results of Wednesday's election posed a huge political blow to President Yoon Suk-yeol, setting back his domestic agenda and leaving him facing an intensifying political offensive by his liberal opponents during his remaining three years in office. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and top advisers to Yoon submitted their resignations on Thursday, South Korean media, including Yonhap news agency, reported. Yoon's office didn't immediately officially confirm the reports. In a separate news conference, ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon said he would step down as well to take responsibility for the election defeat. With most of the votes counted, the main opposition Democratic Party and its satellite party appear to have won a combined 175 seats in the 300-member National Assembly. Another small liberal opposition party was expected to win 12 seats under a proportional representation system, according to South Korean media tallies. Yoon's ruling People Power Party and its satellite party were projected to have obtained 109 seats. The final official results were expected later Thursday. *) Trump takes another dig at Jewish voters who back Biden Donald Trump has lashed out at Jewish voters who back President Joe Biden and framed this year's election as a referendum on the strength of Christianity in the US, part of his sharp-edged continuing appeal to evangelical conservatives who are a critical element of his political base. Speaking in Atlanta ahead of a fundraiser, the presumptive Republican nominee on Wednesday renewed his running criticism of Biden's reaction to Israel's brutal war on besieged Gaza. "Biden has totally lost control of the Israel situation," said Trump, whose rise in 2016 depended heavily on white Christian conservatives. "Any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.” And finally… *) We have two years to save the planet: UN climate chief Governments, business leaders and development banks have two years to take action to avert a far worse climate crisis, the UN's climate chief has said in a speech that warned global warming is slipping down politicians' agendas. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change said on Wednesday that the next two years are "essential in saving our planet". "We still have a chance to make greenhouse gas emissions tumble, with a new generation of national climate plans. But we need these stronger plans, now," he said.

*) Abbas names adviser Mohammed Mustafa as Palestine's PM Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has appointed Mohammed Mustafa as the new prime minister following Mohammed Shtayyeh's resignation. Mustafa, a trusted economic adviser, faces the task of forming a new government amid Israel's war on Gaza. At 69 years old, he is tasked with governing the occupied West Bank, while Hamas controls Gaza. Mustafa's extensive experience in economic affairs and governance, including roles at the World Bank and advisory positions for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, is seen to shape his approach to addressing Palestinian Authority challenges. *) Twin Israeli attacks kill 29 besieged Palestinians awaiting aid in Gaza At least 29 Palestinians were killed in two separate attacks in Gaza while awaiting aid, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. In the first incident, eight Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution centre in Al Nuseirat camp. Later, at least 21 people were killed and over 155 wounded by Israeli gunfire at a northern Gaza roundabout. The Israeli military denied attacking aid centres, but residents reported ongoing aerial and ground bombardments, including in Rafah, where over a million displaced people are sheltering. *) Chuck Schumer seeks Netanyahu's ouster US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for the removal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labelling him an "obstacle" to Middle East peace. Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the US, criticised Netanyahu's alignment with far-right extremists and tolerance of civilian casualties in Gaza. He urged Israel to hold new elections amid a growing humanitarian crisis. The move reflects that the Biden administration is running out of patience with Netanyahu's government. *) Azerbaijan is closer to ‘peace' with Armenia than ever before Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has declared the nation's triumph of "historical justice" through the liberation of the Karabakh region from decades-long occupation, stressing significant progress towards peace with Armenia. Speaking at a forum in Baku, Aliyev hailed the successes of the fall 2020 Karabakh war, asserting that the region is now closer to peace than ever before. He highlighted the conflict's impact, including counter-terrorism operations and the seizure of $6 billion worth of weapons supplied to Armenia. *) New climate commitments essential for global safety, prosperity: UN UN climate chief Simon Stiell has issued a critical call for action, urging countries to produce ambitious new emissions-cutting pledges within a year. Stressing the urgency, Stiell labelled these plans as crucial for ensuring global safety and prosperity, emphasising the need to prevent surpassing the 1.5°C warming limit. In an open letter to nearly 200 nations in UN climate negotiations, Stiell highlighted the pivotal role of these pledges in safeguarding economies, national budgets and population well-being from worsening climate impacts.

His ventures include being the first to travel around the world in a non-stop balloon flight and years later in a solar-powered airplane. He is regarded as a pioneer in clean technology. Piccard is also the founder of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has identified over 1500 actionable and profitable climate solutions and connects them with investors. As a UN Ambassador for the Environment, his goal is to convince leaders of the viability of a zero-carbon economy, which he will demonstrate via his next emission-free project Climate Impulse, a green hydrogen-powered airplane that can fly nonstop around the earth."Of course, it creates a lot of applause when you speak about the beauty of nature that you have flown over with your hot air balloon, solar airplane, or whatever, but it changes nothing because the language of the key decision-makers is not the language of the beauty of nature. It's the language of profit, job creation, and developing the economy.The goal now is not just to revolutionize energy, like with Solar Impulse. The goal with Climate Impulse is to revolutionize aviation and show that we can decarbonize aviation. We can make it more efficient. Of course, it's not yet a jumbo jet with hydrogen. It's a two-seater airplane. But I want to make the ultimate flight to shake a little bit the certitudes of the people. If we go around the world nonstop with two people on board, this project can become like a flagship of climate action."http://www.solarimpulse.comhttps://climateimpulse.org/https://bertrandpiccard.com/Photos:COPSummitBertrand Piccard with Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCCVille de Demain exhibition, Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, Paris

You have the left wing, which takes ecology as its flagship. You have the right wing, which is fighting against ecology because they want to fight against the left wing, and they use all the arguments of ecology to destroy ecology. It's very strange that the people who want to protect the environment are not able to make their cause much more appealing.

And with AI, it's exactly the same. If you make deep fakes, I think you can just destroy trust and confidence in the world because you will never know what is true and what is false, but if you use AI to balance the grid, to incorporate renewable energies that are intermittent, the storage, the usage by consumers, then you begin to be much more efficient because you use energy at the right moment, in the right way, at the right place, for the right people, you will save a lot of energy.

*) South Africa requests ICJ to take action against Israel's Rafah offensive South Africa has urged the UN top court to assess Israel's plan to extend the Gaza offensive into Rafah for potential emergency measures, citing grave concerns about large-scale harm to Palestinians. In January, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent a genocide and help Palestinian civilians in Gaza, in a case initiated by South Africa. The court has yet to give a final ruling on the issue, but the far-right Benjamin Netanyahu administration stresses that it will continue with the Rafah invasion. *) UNRWA faces shutdown due to lack of funds in Gaza The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees, UNRWA, has warned of an imminent closure in besieged Gaza if funding decisions aren't reversed within weeks. Director Marta Lorenzo stressed the urgent need for humanitarian aid amid hunger and disease, citing the International Court of Justice's call for immediate action. She lamented UNRWA's limited time before operations cease, emphasising the potential exacerbation of humanitarian suffering. *) CIA, Mossad chiefs, Qatar PM meet Egyptians on Gaza truce US CIA Director William Burns, Israel's Mossad Chief David Barnea and Qatari PM Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met in Cairo to discuss a Gaza truce with Egyptian officials. The quartet meeting responds to mounting international pressure against Israel's Gaza onslaught while Israeli intelligence assesses Hamas's response to a proposed deal amid its ongoing war that has claimed over 28,000 lives in Gaza. *) US House leader rejects Ukraine aid bill despite Biden's plea US House Speaker Mike Johnson threw a wrench into vital support for Ukraine, blocking a vote on the $95 billion aid package already approved by the Senate. Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters he has no intention even of allowing a vote on the bill. The move ignores President Joe Biden's calls and raises international concerns about the US's commitment to Kiev facing Russia's aggression. And finally… *) UN: Distressing to see nations prioritising weapons over food, climate UN Chief Antonio Guterres has criticised governments prioritising arms over global issues like the climate crisis and hunger and urges UN action to address the deadly nexus threatening international peace. Climate chief Simon Stiell underscores the devastating links, emphasising the need for enhanced action.
Avec Guy Baret, journaliste, Olivier Durand-Mille, journaliste politique et Marc Lomazzi, ancien rédacteur en chef adjoint du Parisien COP 28, texte de compromis - Les faits : Après près de trois décennies de tergiversations autour de la cause principale du réchauffement climatique, les négociations de l'ONU sur le climat, à la COP28 de Dubaï, ont appelé le monde à "effectuer une transition hors" des énergies fossiles. Le texte, dont chaque mot a été âprement négocié, mentionne tous les combustibles fossiles (pétrole, gaz, charbon) mais ne parle pas de suppression progressive, un terme réclamé de longue date par une centaine de pays et des milliers d'ONG mais véritable signal d'alarme pour certains États pétroliers, notamment. Le texte appelle également les pays à prendre des engagements plus ambitieux en matière de climat à partir de l'an prochain. Mais il laisse "beaucoup de place à l'interprétation", a souligné Simon Stiell, le responsable des Nations unies pour le climat, avertissant que "les lacunes (de l'accord, ndlr) nous rendent vulnérables aux intérêts particuliers des combustibles fossiles, ce qui pourrait compromettre notre capacité à protéger les populations du monde entier contre les effets croissants du changement climatique". Projet de loi sur l'immigration: quel compromis ? - Les faits : Moins de quatre jours pour trouver un compromis. Elisabeth Borne a multiplié les réunions, avec la droite puis avec sa majorité, pour trouver un terrain d'entente sur le projet de loi immigration, quitte à lâcher du lest sur les régularisations de sans-papiers. Le marathon se poursuit à Matignon. Comme la veille, la Première ministre a d'abord reçu les dirigeants des Républicains pour reprendre le fil des tractations. Mais ceux-ci, renforcés, campent sur leurs positions. Après avoir rejeté le scénario d'une réforme réduite aux seules mesures répressives facilitant l'expulsion des délinquants étrangers, Eric Ciotti et ses troupes ont à nouveau "confirmé (leur) volonté de voir adopté le texte du Sénat", la commission mixte paritaire (CMP) est convoquée lundi 18 décembre à 17h00. Guerre en Ukraine, pas de compromis avec l'Union Européenne ? - Les faits : Les dirigeants de l'Union européenne ont échoué dans la nuit de jeudi 14 à vendredi 15 décembre à convaincre la Hongrie de lever son veto à une nouvelle aide de 50 milliards d'euros en faveur de l'Ukraine, après être pourtant parvenus plus tôt à ouvrir des négociations d'adhésion avec ce pays en guerre. L'UE avait prévu d'accorder à l'Ukraine une aide de 50 milliards d'euros, 33 milliards de prêts et 17 milliards d'euros de dons, sur quatre ans à compter de l'an prochain. Cette nouvelle aide est jugée cruciale à Kiev au moment où une aide américaine de plus de 60 milliards de dollars reste bloquée au Congrès en raison de réticences d'élus républicains. Avec AFP

C dans l'air du 12 décembre 2023 - COP28 : la fin du pétrole ! Avec un jour de retard, et après une nouvelle longue nuit de négociations, ils sont finalement parvenus à un accord. Les pays participants à la COP28 à Dubaï ont validé ce mercredi matin le texte de conclusion qui pour la première fois dans une conférence climatique de l'ONU mentionne aussi explicitement toutes les énergies fossiles. Le mot "sortie" du pétrole, du gaz et du charbon a été écarté mais un compromis a été trouvé avec la proposition des Emirats arabes unis d'appeler à une "transition hors des énergies fossiles" pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Le texte ne le dit donc pas aussi directement mais certains saluent un accord historique qui donne un signal clair sur la nécessité de remplacer le pétrole, le gaz et le charbon par des énergies renouvelables et une meilleure efficacité énergétique. Sont également cités le nucléaire, les systèmes de captage et de stockage de CO² ainsi que l'hydrogène bas carbone. Il s'agit d'une décision "historique pour accélérer l'action climatique", a déclaré Sultan Al-Jaber, président émirati de cette conférence de l'ONU. Ce sommet mondial est "la COP la plus importante depuis Paris", a réagi le chef des Nations unies sur le climat, Simon Stiell. Des conclusions inattendues pour de nombreux pays, à commencer par ceux de l'Union européenne. "L'humanité a enfin fait ce que nous attendions depuis très, très longtemps. Il nous aura fallu trente ans pour arriver au début de la fin des énergies fossiles" a déclaré le commissaire européen chargé du climat Wopke Hoekstra. Le président de la République Emmanuel Macron a salué également cette "étape importante" qui "engage le monde dans une transition sans énergies fossiles", tout en appelant à "accélérer" la lutte contre le réchauffement de la planète. Car si cette COP28 marque un pas de plus vers la fin du pétrole, du gaz et du charbon, l'accord ne fixe aucune date de sortie et le texte n'est pas contraignant pour les signataires. Alors est-ce que ce sera suffisant pour enclencher bientôt une véritable sortie des énergies carbonées, principales sources des gaz à effet de serre sur la planète ? Certains comme François Gemenne, coauteur du sixième rapport du GIEC, se veulent optimistes et saluent un "signal fort" donné vers un "futur décarboné". D'autres à l'image des climatologues Valérie Masson-Delmotte et Jean Jouzel pointent un "verre à moitié" vide pour contenir le réchauffement climatique et s'inquiètent de voir que "nous sommes toujours sur une trajectoire de +3 °C". Et ce alors qu'au même moment les thermomètres s'affolent déjà, notamment dans le sud de l'Espagne où Malaga connaît un record de chaleur pour un mois de décembre à près de 30 degrés et que les lanceurs d'alerte sur les sujets climatiques et environnementaux se retrouvent souvent confrontés à des mésaventures, des intimidations voire à des représailles. C'est le cas notamment en France de la journaliste Morgan Large. Connue pour ses enquêtes sur l'agro-industrie et les atteintes à l'environnement, elle a retrouvé à deux reprises, dont dernièrement en mars, les boulons de l'une des roues de sa voiture complètement dévissés et a porté plainte. La première découverte avait eu lieu il y a deux ans, peu de temps après avoir témoigné dans le documentaire Bretagne, une terre sacrifiée sur France 5. Reporters Sans Frontières avait alors demandé une protection policière pour la journaliste, demande qui avait été refusée. Alors quel bilan faire de la COP28 ? Est-ce un succès diplomatique pour les Emirats arabes unis (EAU) ? Quels sont les leviers utilisés par Abou Dhabi pour peser sur la scène internationale ?

Người đứng đầu về khí hậu của Liên hợp quốc Simon Stiell đã kêu gọi những người tham dự COP28 nhất trí về việc loại bỏ dần nhiên liệu hóa thạch. Bộ trưởng Năng lượng Úc Chris Bowen không muốn bị lôi kéo vào chuyện này.
On the seventh day of the United Nations climate summit in Dubai, U-N climate chief Simon Stiell has urged attendees to agree on a phase out of fossil fuels. It comes as Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has arrived in Dubai with pressure mounting for Australia to increase financing for Pacific countries.
A edição deste ano da COP28 começou a 30 de novembro e terminará a 12 de dezembro, tendo como palco os Emirados Árabes Unidos, um dos maiores produtores de petróleo do mundo. Daqui a seis anos a capacidade de o planeta lidar com a concentração de emissões de gases de efeito de estufa vai terminar e estão a ser dados “passos de bebé” no caminho da solução. O que é que já foi decidido nesta cimeira do clima? E quanto dinheiro Portugal já prometeu investir?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chystá sa globálna „inventúra“ postoja ku klíme? Formálnym pôdorysom je veľká klimatická konferencia, ktorá sa včera začala v Spojených arabských emirátoch. Deklarovaným cieľom je „prebudenie“ sveta – a teda vlád a politických reprezentácií, aby robili viac a lepšie pre zachovanie cieľa nepresiahnuť úroveň oteplenia planéty nad 1,5 stupňa oproti predindustriálnej dobe. „Prestať sa flákať a začať robiť“ – slovník, ktorým sa obrátil na svetových lídrov najvyšší predstaviteľ OSN pre oblasť klímy Simon Stiell. Na druhej strane len krátko pred samitom vyšli na povrch informácie, že hostiteľská krajina chcela v jeho zákulisí rokovať o ďalších ropných kontraktoch. Paríž, Glagow, teraz Dubaj...Samity s prívlastkami „pre klímu historické“, na druhej strane naša planéta aj napriek nim zaznamenáva ďalšie a ďalšie „najteplejšie roky“ v histórii meraní. Sú klimatické samity tým, čo svet ochladí? Téma pre Jozefa Pecha, klimatológa SHMÚ. „Súčasné fungujúce opatrenia nás stále vedú k trajektórii, že sa globálne oteplí svet minimálne o tri stupne celzia. Ale najbližšie desaťročie veľmi pravdepodobne pritlačí krajiny, aby akcelerovali v jednotlivých opatreniach. Mnohé dokonca predpokladané záväzky sa budú ešte sprísňovať“, tvrdí. „Chcem požiadať lídrov, aby sme z tejto konferencie urobili prvú, pri ktorej význam našich konkrétnych záväzkov prevýši výhovorky a uhlíkovú stopu lietadiel, na ktorých sme sem prileteli“. Prezidentka Zuzana Čaputová aktívne zastupuje Slovensko na klimatickej konferencii v Dubaji. Na zmiernenie vplyvu klimatickej krízy sú už podľa nej k dispozícii uskutočniteľné, účinné a lacné možnosti. „Máme potrebné technológie, zdroje aj zručnosti. Je najvyšší čas ich začať naozaj využívať," zdôraznila.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

The following is taken from a transcript of a speech delivered by UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the opening of COP28 in Dubai on 30 November 2023.Excellencies,Delegates,Colleagues,Ladies and gentlemen,Let me first thank our Egyptian friends for their stewardship over the last year, as they hand over this heavy responsibility to our Emirati colleagues.And let's be clear, this is a heavy responsibility.Colleagues,This process reminds me of watching my baby son Joe, crawling across the sharp grasses of my parents' island home. He was an accomplished crawler, and runner. But he barely spent any time on the baby steps in between.Today, we find ourselves in a rather different position, in humanity's climate action journey.We are taking baby steps. Stepping far too slowly from an unstable world that lacks resilience, to working out the best responses to the complex impacts we are facing.We must teach climate action to run.Because this has been the hottest year ever in humanity.So many terrifying records were broken.We are paying with people's lives and livelihoods.We're standing at a precipice. Facing the Global Stocktake. And we've got two options.Firstly – we can note the lack of progress, tweaking our current best practices and encourage ourselves to do more ‘at some other point in time'.Or:We decide at what point we will have made everyone on the planet safe and resilient.We decide to fund this transition properly including the response to loss and damage.And We decide to commit to a new energy system.If we do not signal the terminal decline of the fossil fuel era as we know it, we welcome our own terminal decline. And we choose to pay with people's lives.If this transition isn't just, we won't transition at all. That means justice within and between countries.Sharing benefits across society.Ensuring that everyone - women, indigenous peoples and youth, in all their diversity - have equal opportunities to benefit from these transitions.Last year, I said we were going to do things differently.So let me lay out that vision and what's going to happen over the next two years.In 2024, countries will submit their first Biennial Transparency Report.This will mean the reality of individual progress can't be concealed.We will also see at COP29 how to finance this massive shift, with the new Finance Goal.And let this be your first official notice that early in 2025, countries must deliver new Nationally Determined Contributions. Please start working on them now. This takes us to COP30, where every single commitment - on finance, adaptation, and mitigation - has to be in line with a 1.5 degree world.Science tells us we have around six years before we exhaust the planet's ability to cope with our emissions. Before we blow through the 1.5 degree limit.As a boy, my son Joe had a wonderful phrase he would use when I was asking him to do something.“I'm trying to try Dad”, he'd say.Unfortunately, this does as much for delivering climate action as it does for finishing homework.It's simply not good enough for us to be ‘Trying to try'.I'm not using my son as an example to suggest that it's his generation's responsibility to save us from the scourge we face.We are indebted to young people and to civil society for having pushed us this far.They are looking at us to take responsibility for speeding things up.So let's be transparent in the actions and decisions we take here with each other.And in that spirit, delivering on the promises I made on accountability, the UNFCCC has reformed the badging system.Every participant at this COP is already publicly listed.The whole world knows who's here.They will hold us to account on what we do, or do not do.As Yoda would say “Do or do not. There is no try”.Yes, this is the biggest COP yet - but attending a COP does not tick the climate box for the year. The badges around your necks make you responsible for delivering climate action here and at home.To further ensure accountability, I am committing the UNFCCC to track all announcements made and initiatives launched. So that long after the cameras have gone, we can ensure our promises continue to serve the planet.Dear delegates,The UNFCCC, as custodian of this process, is here as the impartial facilitator.Remember this.Behind every line you work on.Every word or comma you wrestle with here at COP.there is a human being,a family,a community, that depends on you.Turn the badge around your necks into a badge of honour, and a life belt for the millions of people you are working for.Accelerate climate action.Teach it to run.I thank you.Shukran.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/6022096/advertisement

Climate action is speeding up -- and we each have the power to push that transformation forward. As the head of the UNFCCC, the UN's entity supporting the global response to climate change, Simon Stiell points to clear social and technological signals that show we're at the tipping points of a green revolution -- and invites us all to apply our unique skills to defending the planet against the catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis.

Pelo segundo ano consecutivo, a Conferência do Clima da ONU tem como anfitrião um país avesso à diminuição do uso das energias fósseis para limitar o aquecimento do planeta – depois do Egito em 2022, desta vez os Emirados Árabes Unidos receberão, em 2023, o evento mais importante do mundo para o combate às mudanças climáticas. Em preparação à COP28, 196 países se reúnem por 11 dias em Bonn, na Alemanha, para definir os objetivos da conferência, no que é encarado como um teste de fogo para a presidência emiradense da cúpula em dezembro. A intensa série de reuniões em Bonn servirá de termômetro quanto às chances de fracasso da COP 28, como apostam algumas organizações ambientalistas internacionais. Razões para o ceticismo não faltam: além de acontecer em um dos maiores produtores de óleo negro do mundo, o evento será comandado pelo CEO da companhia nacional de petróleo, Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber. As negociações prévias visam nada menos do que adotar a pauta do que será, ou não, discutido na COP28. “É o grande problema dessa COP, e que muitas vezes provoca um sentimento pessimista das pessoas, de acharem que não vai ser desta vez que a gente vai conseguir uma decisão mais robusta de implementação do Acordo de Paris. Mas acho que ainda é cedo para dizer isso”, avalia Caroline Prolo, cofundadora da LaClima e advogada especialista em direito ambiental. “Aqui as decisões começam a ser discutidas, os textos começam a nascer, mais no nível técnico mesmo, e por isso ainda não temos ministros ou chefes de Estado", explica.Já na abertura das reuniões na Alemanha, na segunda-feira (5), o secretário-executivo da ONU Clima, Simon Stiell, disse ser “consciente das dificuldades” de os participantes ocuparem duas funções nas sessões. “Às vezes, há tensões entre o interesse nacional e o bem comum mundial. Eu convido os delegados a demonstrarem coragem. Ao darem a prioridade ao bem comum, eles também atendem aos seus interesses nacionais”, afirmou. “Nenhuma vida é sacrificável porque nós queremos consumir cada vez mais energia do que precisamos. Não é sacrificável porque a extração de combustíveis fósseis é uma política de segurança financeira”, argumentou. Anfitriões duvidososEste ano, pela primeira vez, uma COP acontece em um país do Golfo, onde a produção petrolífera é a base econômica de diversos Estados. Mas já em 2022, a conferência em Sharm el-Sheik foi uma amostra do que viria pela frente. O lobby do setor demonstrou o seu peso como jamais visto, com um stand no evento maior do que os da maioria das delegações nacionais presentes. O resultado foi um texto final omisso, ao não apontar a saída dos combustíveis fósseis como uma necessidade para o mundo atingir a principal meta do Acordo de Paris sobre o Clima: limitar o aumento da temperatura global a 1,5°C. Desde então, o foco dos países produtores ou altamente dependentes das energias fósseis, como China e Índia, permanece o mesmo: concentrar as discussões sobre como limitar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa do setor, e não acabar com ele. “Esse é o bode na sala. A presidência da COP no país petroleiro vai discutir redução de combustíveis fósseis ou vai todo mundo cair no greenwashing dos Emirados Árabes de ‘phase out' de emissões de combustíveis fosseis?", questiona Claudio Angelo, coordenador de comunicação do Observatório do Clima, que reúne mais de 90 organizações ambientais brasileiras. “Eu acho que é um começo não muito auspicioso para a COP. Mostra que, mesmo com a aceleração dos eventos extremos, o processo continua preso aos vícios de sempre e às tensões tradicionais que a gente vê se arrastarem há 28 anos."Financiamento: eterno foco de tensõesOutros focos de tensão já presente é o financiamento, pelos países desenvolvidos, da transição ecológica nos países em desenvolvimento, assim como do novo mecanismo para ajudar as nações menos industrializadas a enfrentar as perdas e danos já sofridas pelas mudanças do clima. A decisão histórica da criação de um fundo foi tomada na COP do Egito. Neste contexto, se inscrevem ainda as discussões sobre uma “transição justa”, tema que vem sendo pautado pelos Emirados Árabes para agradar aos países mais pobres. Por outro lado, os europeus têm insistido para encaminhar um Programa de Trabalho de Ambição de Mitigação e Implementação, de modo a envolver um número maior de países no corte de emissões globais de CO2. Entretanto, o grupo das nações em desenvolvimento e emergentes G77 resiste à ideia.“O Brasil foi meio que o porta-voz dessa oposição, mas é uma coisa meio combinada entre os países em desenvolvimento. O argumento deles é que os países ricos, em especial a UE, querem mitigação para os outros e não querem contribuir com meios de implementação – não querem dar dinheiro”, explica Angelo. “De fato, a discussão sobre financiamento é sempre um problema. Essa tensão eterna entre metas de redução de emissões e dinheiro, entre países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento, é o que dá o tom aqui em Bonn.” A principal promessa da COP28 será entregar um primeiro balanço mundial do quanto o Acordo de Paris sobre o Clima, assinado há oito anos, está sendo cumprido. “É um instrumento superinteressante que foi introduzido pelo Acordo de Paris para revisar a sua efetividade, de todas essas metas de mitigação, de como estamos, conjuntamente, como sociedade global, conseguindo criar resiliência à mudança do clima, que já está acontecendo e que, muitas vezes, não vai poder ser evitada”, observa Prolo. “E também olhar para os fluxos financeiros, as estruturas de financiamento, capacitação, transferência de tecnologia e entender se os recursos estão sendo realmente mobilizados para essa que é a missão mais importante da humanidade atualmente”, complementa.
In this 2nd episode of the 6th season of Planet A Dan Jørgensen talks to the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change, better known as UNFCCC, Simon Stiell.They discuss the unique role of the UNFCCC in the global fight against climate change. The challenges ahead on the critical work streams – mitigation, adaptation, finance as well as loss and damage - and why Simon Stiell likes to describe his own position as “Accountability Chief”.They also talk about the importance of the Global Stocktake coming up at this year's COP28, which enables countries and other stakeholders to see where they're collectively making progress toward meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.UNFCCC is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change and most known for organizing the yearly global climate conference, the COP. But the secretariat with a staff of roughly 450 located in Bonn works tirelessly all year to support governments and institutions building resilience to the inevitable impacts of climate change and helps scale up climate action at all levels and in all sectors of society, including cities, regions, businesses and investors.

The world climate change summit in Egypt is to hear from heads of state and government looking to galvanize global action to tackle climate change. Richer nations are to outline their programs for reducing carbon emissions. Poorer countries have welcomed the prospect of a debate on setting up a compensation fund, with the issue included on the agenda for the first time since the United Nations adopted its climate convention. The UN's new climate change chief, Simon Stiell, says there was still time to limit global warming to less than 1.5 degrees since the start of the industrial era - the target adopted at earlier summits
Delay and disagreement have overshadowed progress at the first day of the COP27 climate summit. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, tells Newshour how vital it is for countries to expedite their plans to reduce emissions. Also in the programme, Kyiv's mayor has told residents they should be prepared to leave if there is a loss of power, and the new far-right government in Italy blocks foreign humanitarian vessels from disembarking in its territory.

The science is clear: the climate crisis is existential, and humanity is still not doing enough to prevent catastrophe. A new report from the United Nations warns that at our current rate, the world is set for disastrous overheating of 2.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century – way higher than the goal of 1.5. This weekend, world leaders will gather in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt for the COP27 summit, where once more they will try to agree on a way to reverse this. Simon Stiell is the United Nations' climate chief and speaks to Christiane ahead of this vital summit.

UKRAINEI want to start off with a note and a clarification on Ukraine. As you may have seen in the past few days, there have been repeated comments by various Russian officials accusing the United Nations Secretariat of having either cancelled or blocked a visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. I want to clarify a few points. First, the IAEA is a specialized agency that acts in full independence in deciding how to implement its specific mandate. Second, the UN Secretariat has no authority to either block or cancel any IAEA activities.Third, in close contact with the IAEA, the UN Secretariat has assessed that it has in Ukraine the logistics and security capacity to be able to support any IAEA mission to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant from Kyiv, should both Ukrainian and Russian authorities agree.SENIOR PERSONNEL APPOINTMENT - UNFCCCI also have a senior personnel announcement to share with you, quite an important one. Today, the Secretary-General is appointing Simon Stiell of Grenada as Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, otherwise known as UNFCCC. The appointment has been made after consultation with the Conference of Parties through its Bureau.Mr. Stiell will succeed Patricia Espinosa of Mexico to whom the Secretary-General is grateful for her commitment and dedicated service to the Organization. The Secretary-General also wishes to extend his appreciation to the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Ibrahim Thiaw, who will continue to serve as Acting Executive Secretary of UNFCCC until Mr. Stiell assumes this position. Mr. Stiell brings to the position over thirty-three years of experience.SENIOR PERSONNEL APPOINTMENT - GRAINAlso, I just want to read into the record and announcement that was sent out on Friday afternoon. It was about the appointment by the Secretary-General of Amir Mahmoud Abdulla of Sudan as the UN Coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative.Mr. Abdulla succeeds Frederick Kenney, whom you met via videoconference of the United States who was on loan by the International Maritime Organization as interim Coordinator for the UN at the Joint Coordination Centre. The Secretary-General is grateful for Mr. Kenney's dedication, his expertise, his commitment and excellent leadership in implementing the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Mr. Abdulla brings over 30 years of experience in the areas of humanitarian response and management with the World Food Programme as well as expertise in emergency operations, supply chain and security.
