Die unsäglich erscheinende Titelzeile mit "weniger heiße Luft" ist übrigens eine Übersetzung aus dem #emissionsgapreport24 der #UNEP - ein Blick ins "Executive Summary" macht manches anschaulich (siehe Screenshot).

"The increase in total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1.3% from 2022 levels is above the average rate in the decade preceding the COVID-19 pandemic (2010–2019), when GHG emissions growth averaged 0.8% per year."
👉 Die Zunahme nimmt weiter zu.

#AltynDalaConservationInitiative,
whose long-term goal is to restore the Steppe grassland ecosystem in #Kazakhstan. Enhancing biodiversity is key, and by 2030, they aim to grow the Saiga Antelope population to 4 million and bring 8.5 million hectares under active conservation management.

#UNEP nominated Vera for the #EarthshotPrize

A very fundamental problem of #economic life on #Earth is the nature of investment. To give you an idea of the dimensions: Humanity, or rather an elite 1% of #humanity, is currently investing 7000 billion dollars in areas that damage the environment, according to #unep. This contrasts with 200 billion dollars in sustainable investments.

The debates on the #greennewdeal are all about the increase of a few hundred billion, but the problem goes much deeper!

Geldforschung ✅

Ein sehr grundlegendes Problem des #Wirtschaftslebens der #Erde ist die Art der Investitionen. Um sich mal die Dimensionen klar zu machen: Die Menschheit bzw. eine Elite von 1% der #Menschheit investiert laut #unep aktuell 7000 Mrd. Dollar in Bereiche, die die Umwelt schädigen. Dem stehen 200 Mrd. Dollar an nachhaltigen Investitionen gegenüber.

Die Debatten zum #greennewdeal drehen sich um die Erhöhung um ein paar hundert Mrd., doch das Problem reicht viel tiefer!

If you were in charge of evaluating the success of climate conferences based on one key metric, namely the atmospheric concentration of CO2, would you conclude they’re successful or need only a few adjustments such as more “commitment” or “bold actions” by decision makers or would you say they’re fully inadequate for their purpose?

Ab Ende November findet die 28. jährliche Weltlimakonferenz #COP28 statt. Wegen der diesjährigen Leitung (Ahmed al-Dschaber, Chef der Ölgesellschaft der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate) ist sie eigentlich schon jetzt ein Treppenwitz der Geschichte. Und der Sonderbericht, der - ebenfalls jährlich - von der #UNEP (UN Environment Programme) kurz vor dem Beginn der Konferenz veröffentlicht wird, wird von den Verantwortlichen, die da zuhauf in ihren Privatjets hinfliegen, sicherlich auch nicht gelesen. Damit wenigstens WIR ihn lesen, hier der Link zur Übersichtsseite (den eigentlichen Report kann man lesen, wenn man dort auf "Full report" klickt):

UNEP - UN Environment Programme · Emissions Gap Report 2023As greenhouse gas emissions hit new highs, temperature records tumble and climate impacts intensify, the Emissions Gap Report 2023: Broken Record – Temperatures hit new highs, yet world fails to cut emissions (again) finds that the world is heading for a temperature rise far above the Paris Agreement goals unless countries deliver more than they have promised. The report is the 14th edition in a series that brings together many of the world’s top climate scientists to look at future trends in greenhouse gas emissions and provide potential solutions to the challenge of global warming.

14/n However, as has been evident for some time there is a significant #EmissionsGap - the gap between where emissions need to be at in order to keep warming below 1.5°C or even between 1.5°C-2°C, abs where they really are. This year’s #UNEP #EmissionsGapReport will form the basis for the GST.

Think that your #plastic is being recycled? Think again.

Plastic is cheap to make and shockingly profitable. It’s everywhere. And we’re all paying the price.

By Douglas Main

"#PlasticPollution—'a scourge on a planetary scale,' as French president Emmanuel Macron has put it—most affects those least able to deal with its consequences. Noting that the #PlasticIndustry generates upward of $700 billion a year in revenues, the UN Environment Programme (#UNEP) also concluded that the industry 'inflicts a heavy burden on #HumanHealth and #EnvironmentalDegradation, with the poorest in society facing the highest impacts whilst contributing the least to plastic over-consumption and waste.'

"This is true at every stage of plastic’s life cycle. #Manufacturing plants are concentrated in communities of color—such as in #Louisiana, in an area along the #MississippiRiver often called '#CancerAlley,' which is home to nearly 150 #OilRefineries, plastics plants, and #chemical facilities. Such plants emit #AirPollution that raises risks of cancer and other diseases. A panel of UN human rights experts said the situation amounts to a 'form of environmental racism [that] poses serious and disproportionate threats to the ... human rights of its largely #AfricanAmerican residents.'

"This pollution also disproportionately harms poor and developing countries that produce little or no plastic, such as those in #Africa, the #Pacific, and elsewhere."

Did you know that the average human adult inhales and ingests about 163,000 microplastic particles per year?

Research indicates that human exposure to microplastics has reached our internal organs, including our lungs and liver.
