UN climate talks 'no longer fit for purpose' say key experts

The United Nations' COP climate talks are "no longer fit for purpose" and need an urgent overhaul, key experts including a former UN secretary general and former UN #climate chief have said.

In a letter to the UN, senior figures say countries should not host the talks if they don’t support the phase out of fossil energy.

This week the Azerbaijani president told world leaders gathered in his country for #COP29 that natural gas was a “gift from God” and he shouldn’t be blamed for bringing it to market.

@RichardAshwell Future #COP conferences from now on should only take place in #Kiribati🇰🇮.
Perhaps alternating with #Tuvalu🇹🇻, #Samoa🇼🇸 and the #Majel🇲🇭 Islands

@agrinova @RichardAshwell or maybe hold it where the laws allow swift execution of all fossil fuel representatives. Where can we set that up?

Texas? The homeland of the most fosillist gop of the world?
No way.
They must stay in Kiribati in the face of the rising ocean.
Either they find an agreement to stop greenhouse gases.
Or drown.
