#UNFCCC #COP reform: Very useful new analysis of reform options and how they might impact democracy and effectiveness of the process in Global Policy https://doi.org/10.1111/1758-5899.70172
At the #TAFF-1 Conference in #Colombia (24–29 April 2026), a clear gap emerged: spaces like #COP still fail to address structural #fossil fuel dependency—and its wider consequences.
Irene Vélez Torres called for real inclusion of Indigenous and peasant communities.
Gustavo Petro linked extractivism to escalating environmental disasters, especially in the Amazon.
Not unity of states—but unity of people: awareness, relationships, collective mobilisation.

Am Bistro mat der woxx #384 – Klimagipfel zu Santa Marta

All Woch bitt d’woxx Iech an hirem Podcast en Abléck an hir journalistesch Aarbecht.

Vill Staate sinn enttäuscht dovunner, datt d‘Verhandlungen op den UN-Klimagipfelen esou lues viru kommen. Dowéinst hunn sech Enn Abrëll 57 Länner zu Santa Marta a Kolumbie getraff, fir iwwert den Austrëtt aus fossillen Energien ze schwätzen. Dobäi goung et net nëmmen ëm Klimaschutz, mä och ëm Froe vu Gerechtegkeet an d’Responsabilitéit vum globalen Norden. Am Podcast schwätzen d’María Elorza Saralegui an d’Melanie Czarnik doriwwer, firwat vill Staaten no neie Weeër an der Klimapolitik sichen a wéi Lëtzebuerg dobäi opgestallt ass.

Klimagipfel: Die Koalition der Willigen

Die Blicke richten sich auf eine Gruppe von Staaten, darunter auch Luxemburg, die von den UN-Klimakonferenzen enttäuscht sind: Ende April besprach die Koalition in Kolumbien, wie der Ausstieg aus den fossilen Energien gelingen soll.

Hoppfullt på konferens om att fasa ut fossilt

MOT FOSSILFRIHET:: Inga bindande löften gavs på det internationell högnivåmötet Transition Away from Fossil Fuels i Santa Marta, Colombia. Ändå är omdömena positiva. Svenske Johan Rockström sa att han aldrig tidigare känt sig så uppmuntrad.

Politely and to the point.

COP: anything in the car I should know about?
ME: nah just stuff you shouldn't know about
COP: cool, have a good day
