AI dominated discussions at Adipec this year, with Adnoc head Sultan Al-Jaber singling it out as one of three megatrends. Siemens Energy VP Kirsten Roden sat down at the show with editor Ed Reed to set him right on AI's possibilities and potential for new thinking around demand planning.
La COP29 sera celle « du cash ou du clash », résume un observateur. Pour que les pays puissent limiter leurs émissions de CO2, s'adapter aux conséquences du dérèglement climatique et mener à bien leur transition, des financements sont nécessaires. Et c'est ce dossier crucial qui est posé sur la table des négociations de cette COP.Plus précisément, l'objectif fixé pour ce sommet est de dessiner les contours d'une nouvelle aide climatique destinée aux pays en développement et financée par les pays développés, en raison de leur responsabilité historique dans le réchauffement climatique. Mais quel sera le montant de cette aide ? A quoi servira-t-elle ? Qui va en bénéficier ? Et surtout, qui va l'abonder ?A toutes ces questions sensibles, s'ajoute un contexte géopolitique tendu. Les guerres en Ukraine et au Proche-Orient viennent compliquer les discussions. La victoire de Donald Trump, climatosceptique de longue date, à l'élection présidentielle américaine est venue rebattre toutes les cartes à quelques jours de l'ouverture du sommet.Pourquoi les résultats de cette COP29 sont-ils si déterminants pour la suite ? Et comment expliquer que la grande messe annuelle sur le climat soit boudée cette année ?Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Audrey Garric, journaliste en charge des questions climatique au service Planète du "Monde", nous explique pourquoi la COP29, bien que boudée par de nombreux chefs d'Etat ou de gouvernement du G20, est tout sauf mineure.Un épisode d'Adèle Ponticelli, Claire Leys et Diane Jean.

En 1990, l'humanité franchit la première limite planétaire, celle de la concentration de CO2 dans l'atmosphère. Aujourd'hui, entre l'utilisation du carbone fossile et la déforestation, nous émettons huit fois plus de CO2 qu'en 1950. Cela entraine le fameux effet de serre et la température augmente.Mais comment faire face à l'urgence climatique sachant que l'on ne peut pas se passer du jour au lendemain des énergies fossiles sans mettre le monde à l'arrêt ? C'est là qu'intervient la captation et le stockage du carbone, c'est même un peu la star de la COP28 qui se tient en décembre à Dubaï. Pour son président emirati, Sultan Al Jaber, qui dirige aussi l'un des plus grands groupes pétroliers du monde, c'est un moyen efficace d'atténuer nos émissions.Dans ce nouvel épisode de Sur la Terre produit par l'AFP en partenariat avec The Conversation, Camille Kauffmann a mené l'enquête sur la captation carbone technologique… ou naturelle : s'agit-il vraiment d'une solution miracle ?Avec Florence Delprat-Jannaud, chercheuse à l'IFP Energies Nouvelles et présidente du Club CO2, Dr. Chris Bataille, chercheur associé à l'université de Columbia, spécialiste de la décarbonation de l'industrie et membre du Giec, Philippe Ciais, chercheur au Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement et spécialiste des gaz à effet de serre, Dr. Jonathan Foley, directeur exécutif de l'ONG Drawdown Project et Rémi Cardinael, chercheur agronome au CIRAD et spécialiste des sols.Si vous souhaitez creuser davantage la question de l'agriculture comme moyen de stocker du carbone, voici un article de The Conversation écrit spécialement pour l'occasion par Rémi Cardinael et deux autres chercheurs, Armwell Shumba au Zimbabwe et Vira Leng au Cambodge.Réalisation: Camille KauffmannComposition musicale : Nicolas Vair avec Irma Cabrero-Abanto et Sebastian VillanuevaPremière diffusion le 3 novembre 2023Nous serions ravis d'avoir vos retours sur cet épisode et de savoir quels autres sujets vous souhaiteriez explorer.

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber is the President of COP28, the UN Climate Change Conference hosted by the UAE last year. He's also the CEO and Managing Director of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), where he leads efforts to produce cleaner energy today and invests in sustainable energy solutions for the future. In this episode, Dr. Sultan shares how his leadership united diverse stakeholders to adopt the UAE Consensus. He also discusses the deep interconnectedness between AI and green energy, and how each can propel the other forward.
Des nuits blanches et des heures de négociations entre les délégations de près de deux cents pays… Les derniers instants de la 28e Conférence des Nations unies sur le changement climatique (COP28) ont été intenses mais déterminantes pour aboutir à un consensus. A la clé : un texte validé mercredi 13 décembre par toutes les parties présentes à ce sommet, qui se tenait cette année à Dubaï, aux Emirats arabes unis.Cet accord est qualifié « d'historique » car il mentionne pour la première fois les énergies fossiles et la nécessité d'une « transition » pour en sortir. Une mention qui était loin d'être gagnée d'avance, car les pays du Golfe et les Etats-Unis ne souhaitaient pas que ces combustibles soient précisément nommés dans le texte, contrairement à l'Union européenne, aux représentants des petites îles et à de nombreux pays d'Amérique latine.Mais cette mention suffit-elle à engager les Etats dans les faits ?

The 28th annual Conference of the Parties (COP28), hosted by the United Nations, wrapped this week. It marked a significant shift in the climate change dialogue. The event brought together over 100 country delegations, climate scientists, business leaders, activists, indigenous peoples, and journalists, fostering a platform for pivotal discussions and decisions. If you've followed news surrounding previous COPs, you're no stranger to the rollercoaster ride they can become. The high- and low-lights: Controversies and context Location and leadership: COP28 in Dubai, led by Sultan Al Jaber of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, sparked controversy due to the UAE's status as a major oil producer and potential conflicts of interest.Record attendance and lobbyist presence: COP28 attracted over 100,000 attendees despite the controversies, indicating a growing interest in climate discussions. However, the unprecedented presence of fossil fuel lobbyistsraised concerns about the event's alignment with oil and gas interests. Key highlights Loss and damage fund: A significant win was the establishment of a fund to support the Global South, which is significantly affected by climate crises. However, the pledged amount needs to catch up to the estimated need.Methane and refrigerant regulations: Progress emerged in tackling harmful greenhouse gases, with new rules in the U.S. and EU targeting methane emissions reduction. Meanwhile, 63 countries committed to the Cooling Pledge, aiming to cut coolant emissions.Renewable energy and agriculture initiatives: Governments pledged to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and address the climate impact of agriculture, mainly focusing on meat and dairy emissions.Voluntary carbon market standards: The International Organization of Securities Commissions proposed measures to enhance the integrity of Voluntary Carbon Markets, indicating a move toward more rigorous standards.Global stocktake – fossil fuel phase-out: The final COP agreement included language about transitioning away from fossil fuels but fell short of the strong commitment activists sought. Looking ahead The next two COPs (COP29 will be in Azerbaijan) are crucial to establish new climate finance goals and updating nationally determined contributions.Our perspective: The agreements reached are a step forward, but practical implementation remains vital. We approach these developments with cautious optimism, recognizing the need for action that matches the urgency of the climate challenge. COP28 brought to light the complexities and challenges in global climate negotiations. We recognize the importance of these discussions and remain committed to leading the way in sustainable practices and solutions. The journey toward a more sustainable future continues, and we're here to guide and support businesses and individuals in making impactful choices for the planet.

Hector And Mike Experience - Common Sense In An Uncommon World
COP28 (The Conference of the Parties, 28th meeting) was just held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where more than 200 nations gathered to discuss climate change rules and impose goals for meeting them. The amount of hot air from the private jet-setting, limousine riding millionaires and politicians could melt the Polar Ice cap, while costing all of us regular people more money out of pockets. me. The impact of their impractical policies will not just impact the United States, but will have devastating impact around the globe: The Guardian reported that "Sultan Al Jaber stated there is no science indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C, the Guardian and the Centre for Climate Reporting can reveal. Al Jaber also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development 'unless you want to take the world back into caves.'" To complicate the matters, France 24 reported that" some representatives of African nations have said they could support a phase out deal if wealthy countries, who have long produced and used fossil fuels, agree to quit first. 'To tell Uganda to stop fossil fuels, it is really, really an insult. It's like you are telling Uganda to stay in poverty,' Uganda's energy minister Ruth Nankabirwa said." Many African countries and others around the world are worried about being left behind economically because they have low electricity access rates and are planning to develop and expand their oil and gas production. Uganda's energy minister Ruth Nankabirwa told Reuters, "First in, first out - and we will be happy to be the last one to exit from fossil fuels." And finally from the Hector and Mike Experience,”How do you stop climate change if the two largest polluters on the planet – Russia and China - are not part of the deal?” https://hectorandmikeexperience.com/ https://amplify360inc.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hectorandmikeexperience/support
Argentina's Minister for the Economy, Lewis Caputo, has announced plans to devalue the peso by more than half. The move has been welcomed by the International Monetary Fund, which says it may help boost private sector investment. Argentina is battling soaring inflation, with prices rising by around 150% over the last year. It is also struggling with low cash reserves, high government debt, while 40% of the population is living below the poverty line. A new climate deal has been approved at the UN's COP 28 summit in Dubai. There's a reference in the text to 'transitioning away' from fossil fuels. The COP28 president, Sultan Al Jaber, said the conference had delivered world first, after world first. We hear from LIV Golf Chief Executive Greg Norman about the proposed merger with the PGA Tour as the deadline looms.
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 ?

Les pays du monde entier ont approuvé mercredi par consensus à la COP28 à Dubaï une décision appelant à une "transition" vers l'abandon des énergies fossiles. Dès l'ouverture de la séance plénière de clôture, les délégués ont adopté la décision préparée par les Emirats arabes unis, déclenchant une ovation debout et de longs applaudissements. Il s'agit d'une décision "historique pour accélérer l'action climatique", a déclaré Sultan Al Jaber, président de la conférence de l'ONU.
COP28, the latest instalment of The UN's annual climate forum, is in the history books, and it'll be remembered for it's controversies, mostly surrounding the decision to stage it in the United Arab Emirates, a nation built on the sale of fossil fuel and then there was the COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber, who is the CEO of an oil company. But now the talkfest has finished, we can take a look at the results and try to figure out if the world got any closer to preventing it's own destruction.

Com uma Conferência do Clima presidida por um CEO de uma grande petroleira árabe, as esperanças eram fracas de que a COP28 pudesse trazer avanços sobre a diminuição dos combustíveis fósseis. Mas o debate sobre a redução gradual ou até o fim das fósseis se acelerou nos últimos dias, com a inclusão preliminar do tema no Balanço Global elaborado pelos 196 países participantes do evento. Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI Brasil a DubaiObservadora das negociações, Rosana Santos, diretora-executiva do think tank E+ Transição Energética, conta que “quase caiu da cadeira” quando o secretário-geral da ONU, António Guterres, incitou os participantes a visarem o “phase out” do petróleo, o gás e, principalmente, o carvão, cuja produção e consumo são os maiores responsáveis pelo aquecimento do planeta."Phase out é você paulatinamente sair da utilização do combustível fóssil, qualquer um, e a matriz energética em 2050 não ter nenhum tipo de fóssil. O phase down diz que a gente diminuiria um pouco o uso, mas que o fóssil ainda estaria presente na matriz em 2050 e a gente usaria tecnologias de captura de carbono para que a gente chegasse no no net zero, ou emissões líquidas zero”, explica.Até o fim da conferência, no dia 12, nada garante que a menção ao tema será mantida no documento – países como a Arábia Saudita, maior exportadora de petróleo do mundo, prometem não ceder nas negociações e dizem não aceitar nem a redução dos fósseis. Estados Unidos, Austrália e Japão são outros bloqueadores históricos nesse tema delicado."É realmente complexo, porque os campeões em energias renováveis não são necessariamente os campeões em combustíveis fósseis. Nos rankings de eólica e solar, essas duas principais fontes renováveis, a gente tem China e Estados Unidos em primeiro e em segundo. Mas nenhum deles é um campeão em termos de phase out ou phase down”, ressalta Ricardo Baitelo, gerente de projetos do Instituto de Energia e Meio Ambiente (Iema), e que também acompanha os debates em Dubai.Poucos exemplos no mundoOs dois especialistas citam a Alemanha como o maior exemplo na transição energética para uma economia sem fósseis e no impulso para que o resto do mundo faça o mesmo. No entanto, destacam que em momentos de crise, como os gerados pelas guerras, até os países mais avançados na questão recuam e voltam a reativar usinas a carvão, que emitem 39% dos gases de efeito estufa ligados à energia no mundo, segundo a Agência Internacional do setor (AIE). O petróleo vem logo depois, com 30%."Os relatórios de avaliação do IPCC dizem que até 2023, as emissões têm que cair pela metade e até 2050 elas têm que ser reduzidas totalmente. E quanto mais tempo a gente levar para chegar neste ponto, maior será o esforço para conseguir reverter”, salienta Baitelo. "Só que a gente ainda nem consegue sair da necessidade de alterar o padrão dessa curva. Se a gente fizesse uma analogia, o carro está em aceleração, então a gente precisa tirar o pé do acelerador para o carro poder estacionar totalmente.”Na esperança de que ainda há uma alternativa antes do abandono dessas fontes energéticas poluentes, porém baratas, muitos países apostam no avanço de tecnologias de Captura e Sequestro de Carbono da atmosfera (CCS, na sigla em inglês), outro tópico de peso nesta COP28. Rosana Santos explica que essas técnicas, além de ainda não estarem totalmente desenvolvidas, também precisarão do declínio constante das emissões de CO2 para serem, de fato, eficazes no futuro para limitar o aquecimento global."O problema é que essa tecnologia do CCS depende de outras tecnologias que ou ainda não estão bem desenvolvidas [armazenamento geológico do CO2, no subsolo da Terra], ou são soluções baseadas na natureza que a gente não tem segurança de que esse carbono vai mesmo ficar nas árvores que crescerem. Por exemplo, um grande incêndio florestal pode colocar tudo a perder”, afirma Rosana Santos, referindo-se ao potencial de absorção de CO2 por aumento da cobertura florestal. "Se der errado e tivermos contado com isso, a quantidade de carbono poderá ser muito maior em 2050”, adverte.Brasil em cima do muroDe olho no encaminhamento da COP30, que será realizada em Belém em 2025, a delegação brasileira tem se mantido cautelosa nas negociações. Embora Brasília não esteja impulsionando decisões ambiciosas, afirma que, se um consenso internacional for alcançado, inclusive sobre o fim das fósseis (phase out), o Brasil não se oporá. Na terça-feira, em uma coletiva de imprensa, o tema foi abordado pelo negociador-chefe na COP28, o diplomata André Corrêa do Lago."O debate internacional ainda não está estruturado em relações às opções para os combustíveis fósseis. As pessoas falam de consumo, de abate, de várias soluções diferentes e propostas neste contexto”, disse. “E sobre o Brasil, acredito que o Brasil é um país que tem muitas opções, felizmente. A sociedade brasileira, de uma forma democrática, e de uma forma muito informada, terá que ter um debate importante para ver como nós vamos lidar com essa questão, internamente”, pontuou.O Brasil tem sido pressionado pelas ONGs presentes da conferência pelas contradições em relação aos seus planos futuros de aumento de exploração de petróleo, mas também pelo recém-aprovado marco regulatório das eólicas offshore, pelo Câmara. O texto regulamenta a atuação de usinas eólicas no mar, mas incluiu a prorrogação de subsídios para as térmicas a carvão, potencialmente até 2050."É bastante irônico que o Brasil tenha vindo à COP com um sinal doméstico contrário. O que a gente já tinha no horizonte era o Brasil estar realizando um leilão que, historicamente, vai oferecer o maior números de petróleo e gás, e isso apenas um dia depois de a COP termina”, disse Baitelo, em referência ao recorde de oferta de mais de 600 campos de exploração de petróleo espalhados pelo Brasil, pela Agência Nacional de Petróleo (ANP). O leilão será realizado no dia 13 de dezembro."Isso já era suficientemente ruim, e vieram dois novos fatos: a questão de o Brasil fazer parte da Opep+, que parece ser bastante contraproducente ser anunciado bem na época da COP, e o outro é do Congresso, que é menos controlado pelo governo, e que não apenas não reverte os jabutis de dois anos atrás, de térmicas a gás, mas inclui novos jabutis para térmicas a carvão”, critica o gerente de projetos do Iema.Para Rosana Santos, o Brasil "tem de tudo para viabilizar o phase out do carvão", com apenas 2% da matriz ancorada nesse fóssil e com o potencial de se tornar um dos maiores exportadores de produtos descarbonizados."Mas não podemos ameaçar o ativo que nós temos. Existe, dentro do nosso Congresso e talvez dentro das pressões da nossa sociedade, um conjunto de tomadores de decisões que não entenderam isso e acabam empurrando medidas que podem ameaçar a nossa posição”, advertiu a diretora-executiva do think E+ Transição Energética.Após descanso, COP28 entrará no segmento ministerialO oitavo dia de Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças do Clima, esta quinta-feira (7), marca uma pausa nas negociações, com um dia inteiro de repouso para os participantes. Na véspera, o secretário-executivo do órgão da ONU que coordena as negociações climáticas (UNFCCC), Simon Steil, e depois o presidente da COP, Sultan Al Jaber, tentaram acelerar o ritmo das conversas. Al Jaber pediu para os países "saírem da zona de conforto” para chegarem a um acordo “ambicioso”, inclusive na polêmica questão do futuro dos fósseis.Nesta sexta (8), ele deve apresentar um primeiro rascunho do acordo final. A COP vai retomar em nível ministerial, o que significa que os ministros, em geral, do Meio Ambiente, vão assumir a chefia das delegações para a reta final, e mais difícil, das negociações. Pelo Brasil, será a ministra Marina Silva – que depois de acompanhar o presidente Lula à Alemanha, retornou aos Emirados Árabes Unidos.
He's claiming that his remarks were "misinterpreted". The Emirati oil executive leading the COP28 climate conference in Dubai has come out fighting after widespread criticism of his suggestion that there was "no science" indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels was needed to contain global warming. A controversial choice as president, Sultan al-Jaber argues he's "uniquely placed" to persuade the industry to buy into a green energy future. We take a closer look.
De nombreuses ONG sont scandalisées que le président de la COP28, Sultan Al Jaber, soit également patron de la compagnie pétrolière émiratie, Adnoc. Notre chroniqueuse environnement, Audrey Racine, revient sur ce profil atyique, alors que la question de la sortie des énergies fossiles domine la conférence onusienne sur le climat.
As the UN's COP28 Conference continues in Dubai, one would think the Net Zero Emissions Agenda would be artificially propped up at an aggressive level. While they may be trying that at the conference, the plans have taken quite a bit of hits. COP 28's President, COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber, recently stated there is "no scientific evidence" supporting the need to end using petroleum and related fuel sources. The British Parliament voted to set back electric car quotas endorsed by PM Rishi Sumak. Consumers have pushed back against proposed government mandates limiting gas-powered cars and appliances and more scientists are stepping forward to challenge pop-science climate claims.

Comhdháil aeráide Cop28 agus ráiteas a rinne Uachtarán na Comhdhála Sultan Al Jaber.
« Montrez-moi la feuille de route d'une sortie des énergies fossiles qui soit compatible avec le développement socio-économique, sans renvoyer le monde à l'âge des cavernes ». Les propos du Président de la COP28, Sultan Al Jaber, rapportés ce lundi 4 décembre 2023 par la presse font polémique, alors que l'un des grands enjeux de la Conférence de l'ONU sur le climat est de faire figurer dans le texte final une sortie progressive des énergies fossiles. Aujourd'hui, la production et la consommation de charbon, pétrole et gaz représentent 85 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre.Comment permettre la fin de l'ère fossile ?

Pacific advocates say it feels like climate talks are rigged against vulnerable, low-lying countries, with fossil fuel lobbyists in the room influencing negotiations. COP28 is underway in petro-state Dubai, and president of the Cop28 climate summit, Sultan Al Jaber, is strongly defending his commitment to climate science. It comes after The Guardian reported him saying there is "no science" indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius - and such a phase-out would take the world back into caves. As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates' state oil company, Adnoc. Pacific Climate Warriors' spokesperson Drue Slatter spoke to Corin Dann.

The president of the United Nations Climate talks COP28 in Dubai says there is "no science" indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1-point-5-degrees celsius. As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Sultan Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates' state oil company, Adnoc, which many observers say is a serious conflict of interest. As weather disasters and heat intensifies around the world, over 60 thousand people are gathered for the latest talks. The main task is an assessment of countries' progress towards meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement's goal of limiting the global temperature rise to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, while aiming for 1.5C. So far global efforts are lagging. Kathryn speaks with the Guardian's Environment Editor Fiona Harvey from Dubai
The president of COP28 in Dubai, Sultan Al Jaber, says there is "no science" indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius. He says such a phase out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development "unless you want to take the world back into caves". That's according to The Guardian, which says Al Jaber made the comments in ill-tempered responses to questions during an online event more than a week ago. As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates' state oil company, Adnoc, which many observers say is a serious conflict of interest. Oil Change international global industry lead David Tong spoke to Corin Dann.

durée : 00:04:08 - Le Reportage de la Rédaction - La COP 28 s'ouvre ce jeudi 30 novembre 2023 à Dubaï. Drôle d'endroit pour une COP dont le président, Sultan Al Jaber, est le PDG de la compagnie nationale pétrolière. Les Émirats qui se présentent aussi comme un champion des énergies renouvelables, avec comme vitrine l'éco-ville de Masdar City.
The Emirati oil tycoon leading COP28 - has denied allegations the host nation sought to strike fossil fuel deals with foreign governments as part of his official COP duties. Sultan Al Jaber says the allegations were an attempt to undermine the work of the COP28 presidency. The annual Conference of the Parties – otherwise known as COP kicks off this week – the gathering of world leaders will decide how to tackle global warming.
COP28, the UN's annual climate change summit kicks off today in Dubai. This year the COP President is Sultan Al Jaber, who is both the UAE's special envoy on Climate Change and the CEO of the State's oil and gas company Adnoc. Campaigners have likened his appointment to a tobacco CEO chairing a forum on cancer cures. So how damaging is this to the credibility of COP and how can this conflict of interest be reconciled? Sorcha Pollak speaks to Patrick Galey, journalist and senior fossil fuels investigator for Global Witness. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Pétrole, gaz, charbon… La COP28 sera-t-elle celle de la fin des énergies fossiles ? Après une COP27 largement consacrée à l'indemnisation et l'accompagnement des pays en voie de développement dans la lutte contre le changement climatique, l'édition 2023 doit se pencher sur les moyens de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.Car l'urgence climatique se fait toujours plus pressante : le Programme des Nations unies pour l'environnement (PNUE) prévoit un réchauffement de 2,5 °C à 2,9 °C à la fin du siècle, largement au-dessus des accords de Paris.Mais peut-on vraiment espérer un accord ambitieux, quand plus de 200 pays aux intérêts très différents doivent s'entendre ? Les « conférences des parties », de plus en plus controversées, ont-elles encore une utilité ? Que peut-on attendre d'une conférence tenue dans une pétromonarchie et dirigée par Sultan Al-Jaber, ministre de l'industrie émirati et PDG d'une compagnie pétrolière nationale ?Matthieu Goar, journaliste au service Planète du Monde, sera à Dubaï pour couvrir cette 28e édition de la COP. Dans cet épisode de « L'Heure du Monde » , il explique les enjeux d'une COP que les défenseurs du climat attendent au tournant.Un épisode de Cyrielle Bedu et Alicia Mihami.

À deux jours de l'ouverture de la COP28 à Dubaï, son président Sultan al-Jaber vient d'être pris en flagrant délit de conflit d'intérêt. D'après la BBC, en marge de la conférence où l'on discutera de la sortie des énergies fossiles, il prépare des rencontres pour promouvoir les intérêts pétroliers des Émirats arabes unis. Depuis sa nomination, son profil fait débat. Sultan al-Jaber, aujourd'hui âgé de 50 ans, a été d'abord président de Masdar, l'entreprise publique des Émirats dédiée aux énergies renouvelables, fondée en 2006 pour verdir la réputation de la pétromonarchie. Ses compétences en matière de décarbonation le propulsent dix ans plus tard à la tête de la compagnie nationale des hydrocarbures d'Abu Dhabi (Adnoc). Il devient l'homme du pétrole, un poste de premier plan renforcé par le portefeuille ministériel de l'industrie.Difficile d'imaginer qu'il va ranger au placard ses casquettes de PDG le temps de la COP28. Et nos confrères de la BBC en font la preuve en révélant son agenda caché : des réunions d'affaires programmées avec 27 pays au nom des intérêts pétroliers des Émirats, des rendez-vous inscrits dans des documents internes publiés par la radio.Cinq millions de barilsPour les Émirats, cette COP28 sera une formidable vitrine pour vendre leur savoir-faire dans l'énergie fossile, car loin de vouloir se désengager du pétrole, ils cherchent au contraire à pousser leur avantage le plus loin possible. Ils voudraient sortir cinq millions de barils par jour en 2030, deux millions de plus qu'en 2022. Ils prévoient d'exploiter du pétrole pendant encore cinquante ans. Un discours assumé par Sultan al-Jaber. Il a toujours plaidé pour que cette industrie soit intégrée aux discussions de la COP28.Selon cette enquête, en marge des négociations, les Émirats vont discrètement rencontrer les Chinois pour discuter du gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) au Mozambique, en Australie ou au Canada. Ils veulent sonder les Colombiens pour proposer leur expertise afin de développer ses réserves d'hydrocarbures. Ils ont aussi des projets à proposer aux Français et aux Allemands. La feuille de route donnée à l'équipe des négociateurs émiratie divulguée par la BBC est sans équivoque : les intérêts des entreprises énergétiques du pays doivent systématiquement être pris en compte dans les discussions.Double casquetteSultan al-Jaber peut-il encore assurer son rôle de président ? Pour le moment, il n'y a pas eu de réactions officielles aux révélations de nos confrères. Il a déjà représenté son pays à de précédentes COP. Il connait donc la mécanique de ce grand ballet diplomatique réunissant 200 parties. Et sa double casquette qui fait frémir les pays du nord, du moins en public, est considéré comme un avantage dans les pays du sud.Le président du Kenya, l'un des pays africains les plus engagés en faveur du climat, n'a aucune réserve sur cette COP sur un baril de pétrole. Il souligne que les Émirats sont parmi les premiers investisseurs du continent dans les énergies renouvelables, à hauteur de plus de quatre milliards de dollars. Un atout concret non négligeable comparé aux discours tenus par les pollueurs historiques, les pays occidentaux, très lents à tenir leur promesse pour financer la transition des pays du sud.
As the world's attention turns to this year's COP summit in the UAE, questions remain about the host country and conference president. It's not the first time that an oil-producing country has hosted the climate change summit. But some environmental campaigners are unhappy about COP28 being held in the United Arab Emirates, and the choice of conference president, Dr. Sultan Al-Jaber – the CEO of the national oil company, ADNOC. However, supporters say that the country is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, so it has as much of a right to host the conference as anyone else. Meanwhile, Dr Al-Jaber boasts considerable experience working in renewables – having previously run the UAE's renewable energy company MASDAR. So what's really going on? To find out more, presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by: Sam Fenwick, presenter of the BBC World Service programme ‘Business Daily' Fiona Harvey, Environment editor at The Guardian Zeina Khalil Hajj, Head of Global Campaigning and Organising at 350.org Mia Moisio, climate policy expert at New Climate Institute and Climate Action Tracker Producer: Ben Cooper Researchers: Shorouk Elkobrosi and Octavia Woodward Series Producer: Simon Watts Editor: China Collins Sound engineer: Tom Brignell Production co-ordinators: Jacqui Johnson and Sophie Hill
We find out why he's a controversial appointment for the COP28 presidency. Sultan Al Jaber's appointment has been widely questioned because he's also the boss of Abu Dhabi's state oil company Adnoc. But supporters point to his work as founder of the green energy giant Masdar. Is he compromised or uniquely qualified? We speak to people who've interviewed him, worked with him, and can give us the inside track. Presenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Lexy O'Connor (Image: Sultan Al-Jaber. Credit: Getty Images)

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - John Kirby, a White House National Security Council spokesman, announced during a Thursday press conference that beginning Friday the US government will begin evacuating US citizens from Israel through charter flights. Kirby said that the administration is still working through the details of the arrangement but that the flights out of Israel will take Americans to Europe. He added that the administration is “exploring other options to expand the capacity of doing this. Including exploring whether it's possible to help Americans leave by land and by sea.” Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle had urged the Biden administration to immediately evacuate US citizens from Israel. It is uncertain how many Americans are currently in Israel, but the death toll of US citizens in the country continues to rise.

The meeting comes ahead of the COP28 meeting taking place at Expo City Dubai from November 30 to December 12. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is an annual conference that was established after the signing of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC) treaty in 1992 at the UN Rio Conference, also known as the Earth Summit. The COP represents all the states that are party to the UNFCCC and is an opportunity for world leaders, representing state and nonstate actors, to meet and discuss policy goals that seek to establish common — and often ambitious — goals for climate change mitigation. During their meeting October 11, Pope Francis and Al Jaber discussed the role that faith leaders and faith-based organizations can play in promoting the climate objectives of COP28. Advocacy for climate change has been at the center of Francis' pontificate. On October 4, the pope published his much-anticipated apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum, which is seen as the second installment of Laudato Si'. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255661/cop28-president-designate-meets-with-pope-francis-to-discuss-common-climate-goals Today the Church honors Saint Edward the Confessor, king of England from 1042 to 1066. His saintly bearing made him a popular sovereign, and his actions even more so. He abolished an unjust tax and was known to cure people with his touch.

Environmental campaigners have criticised the UAE's decision to appoint the CEO of one of the world's biggest oil companies as president of this year's UN climate summit in Dubai. They say that Sultan Al Jaber must resign from the firm to avoid a conflict of interest. Also in the programme: the IMF is warning of a looming debt crisis that could see many low-income countries at risk of default, and tens of millions facing extreme hunger; and the Italian judge helping children escape organised crime families.
