#200: Martin Frick, Director of the World Food Programme's Berlin office, sits down with Dave to discuss issues of food security and their interconnectedness with the Climate Crisis. The challenges of food waste, industrial agriculture, misguided philanthropy, and the need for global cooperation to extend true support to smallholder farmers all come up.Dr. Martin Frick has served as the Senior Director of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Director for Climate Change at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). He was the German representative for human rights and humanitarian affairs at the UN General Assembly and served as the European Union's lead negotiator in the establishment of the UN Human Rights Council. He holds a PhD in Law from Regensburg University.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://realorganicproject.org/martin-frick-fixing-food-first-episode-two-hundredThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
Delegates from nearly 200 countries are meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's 29th Conference of the Parties. Alden Meyer of the climate think tank E3G is a longtime observer of these meetings, and he shares his first impressions as these talks kick off. Although the global average temperature has been steadily increasing for decades, in 2023 there was a sudden jump of 0.2 degrees Celsius. Dr. Jennifer Francis, Senior Scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, joins us to discuss the temperature spike and its implications for the climate crisis. After Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico's power grid in 2017, much of the island was left without electricity for up to a year, leaving vulnerable populations in the lurch. Many Puerto Ricans are pushing for a reliable, sustainable electricity system, but a proposed utility-scale solar project has sparked concerns, explains environmental attorney Ruth Santiago. -- Interested in gaining hands-on experience with producing a radio show and podcast?

Join us on "Monday Night Live" tonight for a fascinating session with Dr. Colin Summerhayes, a distinguished marine geochemist and oceanographer who specializes in climate change research. Net Zero: Can We Achieve It? Dr. Colin Summerhayes Weighs In Dr. Summerhayes, an Emeritus Associate of Cambridge University's Scott Polar Research Institute, has made significant contributions to our understanding of climate dynamics through his extensive work in Antarctica, which he has visited six times. In his latest book, The Icy Planet, Dr. Summerhayes poses the critical question, "Will Net Zero work?" He expresses cautious optimism about our ability to address climate challenges, emphasizing the need for collective action based on our current knowledge. Understanding Climate Change Dr. Summerhayes discusses the gradual melting of ice and its impact on rising sea levels, a direct result of global warming. He highlights the importance of understanding climate change as a risk management issue for future generations. Despite the alarming trends, Dr. Summerhayes maintains that it is not all doom and gloom. He references Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie, which suggests that we have the potential to build a sustainable planet. International Efforts and Data Dr. Summerhayes explains the role of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. He presents data showing the increasing rate of global temperature rise and its implications. The Central England Temperature Database, which is the longest temperature record on the planet, provides a local perspective on global warming trends. Regional and Global Impacts He discusses recent climate anomalies, such as record heatwaves and flooding in the UK, and emphasizes the global nature of these changes. Dr. Summerhayes presents data on ocean temperatures, showing significant warming in various regions, which contributes to the overall climate change scenario. Historical Context and Current Trends Using ice core samples from Antarctica, Dr. Summerhayes illustrates the historical levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the dramatic increase since the Industrial Revolution. He explains that the current rate of CO2 increase is unprecedented, occurring 100 times faster than natural rates. Consequences of Melting Ice The discussion shifts to the potential impacts of melting ice in Antarctica and Greenland. Dr. Summerhayes explains that if significant portions of these ice masses melt, sea levels could rise by several meters, posing severe risks to coastal cities and infrastructure. The Role of Fossil Fuels Dr. Summerhayes outlines the historical and ongoing use of fossil fuels, showing how coal, oil, and natural gas have contributed to the current levels of greenhouse gases. He highlights the concept of the "Great Acceleration" and its implications for climate change. Potential Solutions and Individual Actions Dr. Summerhayes stresses the importance of both governmental and individual actions in addressing climate change. He discusses various strategies, such as insulating homes, using renewable energy sources, and promoting the planting of trees and hedgerows. He encourages viewers to engage in advocacy and education to promote sustainability. Positive Perspectives Dr. Summerhayes concludes with a message of cautious optimism. He references influential thinkers like David Attenborough, Mark Carney, and Bill Gates, who provide different perspectives on how we can address climate change through sustainable practices, economic reform, and technological innovation. Final Thoughts Dr. Summerhayes reiterates the importance of taking action to build a sustainable future. He encourages viewers to consider the impact of their choices and to work collectively towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.
I was recently reading the March/April 2024 issue of “Science and Children,” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the “Editor's Note” section written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn. She wrote an article entitled, “Climate Justice.” Education is a critical agent in addressing the issue of climate change. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change assigns responsibility to Parties of the Convention to undertake educational and public awareness campaigns on climate-change, and to ensure public participation in programs and information access on the issue.
More than 85,000 participants attended the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai, better known COP28, which ended in December. The big news: a call to governments to speed the transition away from fossil fuels. Susan Joy Hassol, author and climate change communicator, tells Stephanie Desmon that the final agreement is a hollow disappointment misaligned with the urgency of the climate crisis. They discuss the “minefield” of the growing climate emergency and what global leaders should be doing to put meaningful action behind commitments to addressing it.

The UN's annual climate change conference known as COP28 kicks off in Dubai Nov. 30. Finance is a big theme on the agenda, and in this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we're talking to Hong Paterson, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Green Climate Fund (GCF). GCF is accountable to the UN and is guided by the principles of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); it was established at a previous Conference of the Parties (COP) gathering to help achieve the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees C relative to preindustrial levels. "The Green Climate Fund is the largest climate-focused fund globally and is the main mechanism for the Paris Agreement," Hong says. "Part of the Paris Agreement was really to bring at least $100 billion per annum, which was the problem statement when the Paris Agreement was established. That problem statement is now multiple trillions of dollars per annum." In the episode, Hong also talks about her expectations for COP28 — including the role the private sector can play in addressing the massive climate financing gap. "There is a huge pool of funding that's waiting from private sector, and it's a function of trying to figure out how we can help them overcome the hurdles," Hong says.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: International AI Institutions: a literature review of models, examples, and proposals, published by MMMaas on September 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Legal Priorities Project has published a new report (link, PDF, SSRN) surveying models, different examples, and proposals for international institutions for AI governance. This literature review examines a range of institutional models that have been proposed over the year for the international governance of AI. The review specifically focuses on proposals that would involve the creation of new international institutions for AI. As such, it focuses on seven models for international AI institutions with distinct functions. These models are: Scientific consensus building Political consensus-building and norm-setting Coordination of policy and regulation Enforcement of standards or restrictions Stabilization and emergency response International joint research Distribution of benefits and access Part I consists of the literature review. For each model, we provide (i) a description of each model's functions and types; (ii) the most common examples of each model; (iii) some under-explored examples that are not (often) mentioned in the AI governance literature but that show promise; (iv) a review of proposals for the application of that model to the international regulation of AI; and (v) critiques of the model both generally and in its potential application to AI. Part II briefly discusses some considerations for further research concerning the design of international institutions for AI, including the effectiveness of each model at accomplishing its aims; treaty-based regulatory frameworks; other institutional models not covered in this review; the compatibility of institutional functions; and institutional options to host a new international AI governance body. Overall, the review covers seven institutional models, as well as more than thirty-three commonly invoked examples of those models, twenty-two additional examples, and forty-seven proposals of new AI institutions based on those models. Table 1 summarizes these findings.Table 1: Overview of institutional models, examples, and proposed institutions surveyed ModelScientific consensus- buildingPolitical consensus- building and norm-settingCoord. of policy and regulationEnforcement of standards or restrictionsStabilization and emergency responseIntern. joint researchDistribution of benefits and access Common examples Under- explored examples Proposed AI institutions IPCC IPBES SAP CEP WMO IPAI Commission on Frontier AI Intergovernmental Panel on Information Technology COPs (e.g. UNFCCC COP) OECD G20 G7 ISO IEC ITU Various soft law instruments Lysøen Declaration Codex Alimentarius Commission BRICS IAIO Emerging Technology Coalition IAAI Data Governance Structure Data Stewardship Organization International Academy for AI Law and Regulation WTO ICAO IMO IAEA FATF UNEP ILO UNESCO EMEP World Bank IMF WSIS Advanced AI Governance Organisation IAIO EU AI Agency GAIA Generative AI global governance body Coordinator and Catalyser of International AI Law IAEA (Department of Safeguards) Nuclear Suppliers Group Wassenaar Arrangement Missile Technology Control Regime Open Skies Consultative Commission Atomic Development Authority OPCW BWC Implementation Unit IMO CITES Secretariat UN AI control agency Global watchdog agency International Enforcement Agency Emerging Technologies Treaty IAIA (multiple) UN Framework Convention on AI (UNFCAI) & Protocol on AI, supported by Intergovernmental Panel on AI, AI GLobal Authority, and supervisory body Advanced AI Governance Organization AIEA for Superintelligence NPT+ Multilateral AI governance initiative International AI Safety Agency Advanced AI chips registry Code of conduct for state behavior AI CBMs Open Skies for AI Bilateral...
Senior officials and observers from around the world have been impressed by China's enterprising diplomatic efforts in recent months in engaging wealthy nations as well as the most vulnerable countries in tackling the increasingly challenging global problem of climate change.The climate-themed diplomacy, led by President Xi Jinping, illustrates the evolving Chinese solution and the fair, responsible approach sought by Beijing for dealing with the growing deficit of global governance, they said.With July having been the hottest month ever recorded, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on July 27 that "the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable", and "leaders must lead" with dramatic, immediate climate action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 C above preindustrial levels.At bilateral meetings with visiting foreign leaders and at some major international events last month, Xi said that China understands the severe challenges facing vulnerable nations such as Pacific Island countries, and he vowed further action to ensure that global unity and efforts focusing on climate change do not lose steam.Speaking with Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare on July 10, Xi said that China "stands ready to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with island countries in meteorological services, disaster prevention and reduction, clean energy and other fields".In a meeting on July 28 with Mohamed Irfaan Ali, president of the Caribbean country of Guyana, Xi also touched on dealing with climate change.Xi called on countries to "join hands to tackle global challenges such as climate change", when delivering a toast at the welcoming banquet of the opening ceremony of the ongoing Chengdu FISU World University Games.In addition, the past month witnessed senior Chinese officials' dialogues with dignitaries of leading economies and major sources of carbon emissions in the world — such as the United States and the European Union, observers noted.In July, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry visited China.Premier Li Qiang told Kerry that all parties should "abide by the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities in addressing climate change", developed countries should take the lead in reducing emissions and fulfill their financial commitments, and developing countries should make contributions within their capacity.Also in Beijing, Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang and European Commission Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans co-chaired the fourth EU-China High-Level Dialogue on Environment and Climate on July 4 and reached extensive common understandings.The dialogue with the EU "sent a positive signal of China and the EU working together on climate change, biodiversity loss and other global challenges", said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.Leila Benali, Morocco's minister of energy transition and sustainable development, said China has rich experience and achievements in energy transformation and sustainable development.Morocco looks forward to deepening exchanges and cooperation with China in relevant fields and jointly taking the road of green, low-carbon and sustainable development, she told Chinese Ambassador to Morocco Li Changlin last month.Wang Wen, executive dean of Renmin University of China's Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said China's climate change-oriented green economy is developing at a rapid speed and "China is one of the few major countries that are faithfully committed to realizing the Paris Agreement on climate change"."For example, China's total output of hydropower accounts for 29 percent of the global total output. And over the past few years, there has been growing awareness among the Chinese public about the great significance and implication of tackling climate change and seeking green development," he said.Chinese diplomats have continued reaching out to foreign parties to advance the bilateral and multilateral agenda on tackling climate change.On Friday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan by phone that Beijing supports Dubai in hosting the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP 28, and is willing to strengthen strategic cooperation with the UAE in the international arena.Projects and cooperative programs for energy saving and improving the climate have played a key part in major visions proposed by Beijing, including the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, and have drawn widespread acclaim from countries around the globe, observers noted.Wang Yiwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of International Studies and director of the university's Institute of International Affairs, said the China-proposed programs "possess both high standards and great feasibility", helping introduce environmentally friendly projects to developing countries such as Kenya.Furthermore, "by technological upgrade and renovation, Chinese investors transformed some steel factories in Europe to make sure they meet standards of both the EU and China, while securing jobs for local workers and furthering tax contribution to local authorities", he said.It is no wonder that over 150 countries have actively subscribed to the BRI, including the projects seeking green transformation, he added.Reporter: Zhang YunbiDiplomacy英 /dɪ'pləʊməsɪ/美 /dɪ'ploməsi/n. 外交Climate英 /ˈklaɪmət/美 /ˈklaɪmət/n. 气候

In this episode, the UAE Mission to IRENA discusses the emergence of more women in diplomatic and STEM careers, the role of soft power in accelerating climate action and the reasons to be optimistic about the Paris Agreement's impact on policymakers, as Dr. Nawal Al-Hosany, the UAE's Permanent Representative to IRENA and Mrs. Figueres recall the highlights of a long friendship.
The COP28 UAE Presidency has unveiled its new official logo and branding for the 28th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which will take place at Expo City Dubai from 30th November to 12th December, 2023.
Last month, the 27th Convention of Parties under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change took place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Simrin Surur, journalist with The Print, had the first hand experience of covering the event. In this episode, Shrikrishna Upadhyaya quizzes Simrin on the developments at the COP 27 and the future of climate action. They discuss the loss and damage fund, phasing out of fossil fuels and the debate on setting a climate goal at a temperature increase of 1.5 °C as opposed to 2 °C.

My guest today is Ye-Min Wu, who is the South & Southeast Asia Director at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue. Ye-Min joined HD earlier this year after more than 15 years as a diplomat representing Singapore at the United Nations, World Intellectual Property Organization, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as well as the World Trade Organisation. She has also chaired UN negotiations and represented the Group of 77 (plus China) in talks on sustainable development issues. She joins me today to discuss how multilateral negotiations are conducted and explains some of the challenges as well as opportunities inherent in the process. Some of the topics we covered are: Ye-Min's path into diplomacy Managing the ‘negotiation theatre' Finding the win-win solution Building trust and credibility in negotiations Connecting to the ‘other' and the importance of warmth How multilateral negotiations are conducted The difference between a nation's bargaining position and its interests How to successfully negotiate in Asia Challenges of growing militarisation and insecurity in Asia How Asian nations are managing China's rise Why peace agreements often fail Ye-Min's greatest fear and hope If you like what you've heard, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

The global legal construct around climate change was born in 1992, when the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was negotiated at the UN Conference on Environment and Development, more commonly known as the Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro. In this podcast, we take a tour through a short history of UN climate talks (now in their 27th year at what's called a "Conference of the Parties", in short a COP) - whereby the Angry Clean Energy Guy concludes that climate action is happening everywhere, except at the UN climate talks
In this latest episode of the Brazil Institute podcast, host Nick Zimmerman speaks with Natalie Unterstell, President of the Talanoa policy think tank, member of the UN Green Climate Fund's accreditation panel, and former Brazilian negotiator at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change about the state of play in the Brazilian Amazon and how the outcome of Brazil's presidential election in October will impact environmental policy moving forward.
The West Bengal government is working on opening a coal mine in the district of Birbhum. The mine in the Deucha Pachami area will be the largest in Asia and the second largest in the world. It will displace around 21,000 people, majority of whom belong to scheduled castes and tribes. India is one of the governments around the world that have signed the UN Framework Convention of Climate Change. This year, the Union Ministry of Coal set up a Just Transition division for which the World Bank is supposed to provide an aid of $1.15 million. We have committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2070. So why are we increasing coal production while promising to phase it down? To understand these contradictions, our reporter Suryatapa Mukherjee speaks to Pradip Swarnakar in this episode of The Suno India Show. He is a professor and the founder of the Just Transition research centre at IIT Kanpur. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

“Net-zero is a big idea. It's a big theme. And, unfortunately, what's going up are many ways to look like you're doing net-zero when you're not. So in the ideal world, getting to net-zero means essentially reducing your emissions, and then, where you have residual emissions left, that means you might need to have negative emissions. For example, it's relatively easy to decarbonize the power sector completely, and you can do it quickly and cheaply in most places, but you're always going to be left with some levels of emissions from agriculture.”Bill Hare is a physicist and climate scientist with 30 years of experience in science, impacts and policy responses to climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion.
