'We were ready to leave climate summit' - negotiator tells BBC

本日付のこの記事で AOSIS (小島嶼国連合)の財務担当代表が説明しているように、最も影響を受け且つ経済力が小さい国々の声に耳を貸さない“大国”の傲慢こそが問題である、のにまた「反発」とされてうんざりです 😔

COP29: 'We were ready to leave climate summit' - negotiator

A key negotiator with the group that pushed climate talks close to collapse speaks to the BBC about what happened.

Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, President of Malawi: “We need decision and action on debt, for like most Least Developed Countries, Malawi is in distress because its debt is unsustainable, and so our call to action on behalf of all #LDCs on this matter remains the same: Cancel the Debts! Cancel the Debts! Cancel the Debts!”

#COP28 dangled the prospect of #FossilFuelPhaseOut and then snatched it away.

#COP26 decisions aligned with oil & gas industry in the North; #COP28 makes tiny concessions to the South, but includes all the oily language - when you hear 'Carbon capture' think capture of states and process.
#COP29 in Azerbaijan, another petrostate.

Should #LDCs, CVF and #Aosis accept baby steps or call out fossil lobbyists?
