Adnan Amin, who is the director-general and number two official at the upcoming Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai in late November and December, hopes for a "course correction". The top official at the upcoming international climate talks hopes to prove critics wrong and surprise them with a "course correction" to an ever-warming world. But don't expect such a big turnaround. Adnan Amin, who is the director-general and number two official at the upcoming Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai in late November and December, said he also knows what activists, critics and the head of the United Nations really want - a phase-out of fossil fuels that cause climate change. He said it looked unlikely. (Euronews with AP)

This one the long-awaited technical report from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) assesses progress since the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, following a two-year evaluation of thousands of contributions from experts and leaders. The review is designed to prompt action, explained Vox, and he is forthright in his assessment that more is needed "on all fronts" as well as in his recommendations for steps such as "phasing out all non-reducing fossil fuels" and "radical decarbonisation" of the economy. At the COP28 conference in December this year, the document will shape discussions at the conference and potentially help clarify how much countries need to do to actually act. (Kate Whiting)

(Reuters) - Nearly 200 countries meeting at this year's COP28 U.N. climate change summit will assess how far they are from meeting pledges to halt global warming in a process called the "global stocktaking." A global review of what countries have done so far to prevent more catastrophic climate change is due to be published on Friday. It is expected to be politically divisive and could set the stage for the next few years of global action to reduce climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly 200 countries agreed to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels under the 2015 Paris Agreement, with a goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius, which scientists say would prevent the most serious and irreversible impacts climate change. Each country is responsible for setting its own national goals and policies to contribute to the overall goals of the Paris Agreement.

There are just three days until the United Nations publishes its first-ever global balance sheet, assessing how nations are doing in the fight against climate change. The world is losing the race to meet its climate change goals, the president of the upcoming COP28 climate summit said on Tuesday (September 5th). He was speaking as African presidents gathered in Kenya to discuss how to finance the continent's environmental agenda. The gloomy assessment by Sultan Al Jaber, who will chair a summit in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the end of November, came three days before the United Nations publishes its first "global balance sheet".  This assessment of how nations are doing in the fight against climate change will tell the world what efforts need to be stepped up to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.  "The world is losing the race to meet the Paris Agreement targets and the world is struggling to keep 1.5 (°C) within reach," he said Jaber, who is also the head of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company , a delegate at the inaugural Africa Climate event. Summit in the capital of Kenya, Nairobi. (Euronews Green with Reuters)

100 dní pred začiatkom COP28, ktorá sa bude konať v Dubaji od 30. novembra do 12. decembra 2023, vyzýva medzinárodné spoločenstvo, aby sa zjednotilo a začalo konať. „Koncom júla som sa stretol v Indii s ministrami G20 z rozvinutých a veľkých rozvojových krajín ,“ povedal. „Tieto krajiny produkujú 85 % svetovej ekonomickej produkcie a 80 % svojich emisií CO2, čo ich stavia do centra našej kolektívnej reakcie na zmenu klímy. Bez kolektívneho vedenia G20 zostane svet rukojemníkom nečinnosti v oblasti klímy. » (currentvalues.com)

Spojené arabské emiráty v utorok 31. júla uviedli, že umožnia ekologickým aktivistom „pokojne sa zhromaždiť“  on the klimatickej konferencii OSN (COP28)  in Dubaji  koncom tohto roka, napriek zákazu protestov bez povolenia v štáte Perzského zálivu. Emirates, ktoré budú hostiť COP28 od 30. novembra do 12. decembra v dubajskom CBD, vyžadujú oficiálne povolenie na protesty, ale zakazujú tie, ktoré považujú za rušivé.Na COP28 „bude k dispozícii priestor pre klimatických aktivistov, aby sa pokojne stretli a vyjadrili svoj názor ,“ uviedla vláda Spojených arabských emirátov v spoločnom vyhlásení s Rámcovým dohovorom Organizácie Spojených národov o zmene klímy (UNFCCC), ktoré odvysielal predstaviteľ krajiny. tlačová agentúra WAM.

Spojené arabské emiráty, ktoré sú hostiteľom tohtoročného klimatického summitu OSN COP28, stanovili „nedostatočné“ plány na riešenie vlastného príspevku ku klimatickým zmenám, uviedla vo štvrtok nezávislá výskumná skupina. Spojené arabské emiráty začiatkom tohto mesiaca posilnili svoj klimatický záväzok, že budú ambicióznejšie, a vedenie ich summitu vyzvalo ostatné krajiny, aby urobili to isté ešte pred novembrovými rozhovormi. Podľa nového prísľubu krajiny sa však emisie CO2 do roku 2030 ešte zvýšia, čo je v rozpore s prudkým poklesom potrebným na obmedzenie klimatických zmien, tvrdí výskumné konzorcium Climate Action Tracker.

Krajiny na tohtoročnom klimatickom samite OSN musia čeliť tomu, ako ďaleko zaostávajú v plnení cieľov v oblasti zmeny klímy, a dohodnúť sa na pláne, ako sa dostať na správnu cestu, uviedol vo štvrtok nastupujúci prezident Spojených arabských emirátov. Sultan al-Jaber vo svojom prejave, ktorý predstavil plán krajiny pre summit COP28, ktorý salll bude konať v novembri v Dubaji, uviedol, že podujatie by malo priniesť aj medzinárodné ciele strojnásobiť  obnoviteľnú energiu, dvojnásobné úspory energie a produkciu vodíka do roku 2030.

Čo majú ženy spoločné so zmenou klímy? Sú ovplyvnené inak ako muži? Existujú konkrétne problémy, ktoré sa týkajú žien v súvislosti so zmenou klímy? Keďže COP28 v Spojených arabských emirátoch je za rohom a konajú sa mnohé prípravné stretnutia a podujatia, rodový rozmer je stále vo veľkej miere pod radarom, pričom diskusiám dominujú národné záujmy, rozvoj a financovanie. Ale kľúčom k posunu vpred by mohli byť ženy.

Delegates representing more than 100 parties to the Paris Agreement met in Bonn, Germany, and set the stage for some key decisions for the UN climate conference (COP 28) in Dubai and for the coming years. Over the past two weeks, representatives of countries from around the world have converged on the former West German capital for their first full face-to-face meeting since COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh. Despite considerable frustration in Bonn over the parties' failure to agree on an agenda for the two-week meeting, significant progress was made.

The ocean contains 60 times more carbon than the atmosphere and absorbs nearly 30 % of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from human activity. This means that the ocean is key to understanding the global carbon cycle and thus our future climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) uses Earth System Models to project climate change. These projections inform critical political, social and technological decisions. However, if we cannot accurately model the marine carbon cycle, then we cannot truly understand how Earth's climate will respond to different emission scenarios.

Talks on setting ambitious targets for the world's bid to adapt to the effects of climate change were saved for the last minute at the Bonn climate talks, after sharp divisions between developing and developed countries. The tough negotiations in Germany centered on the framework for the Global Adaptation Goal, an initiative aimed at increasing the resilience of nations to extreme weather events, floods, droughts and sea-level rise.

With the COP28 UN climate summit approaching, the debate about what we need to do and what we are willing to do is intensifying. Meanwhile, our planet continues to warm. A recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlights the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for real solutions. However, in a world marked by geopolitical and economic differences, this task becomes even more daunting. One of the main challenges facing COP28 is bridging the implementation gap between agreed agreements and actual action. Previous conferences have set ambitious goals, but the translation of these goals into concrete policies and measures in practice has been insufficient. COP28 must support mechanisms that ensure effective implementation of commitments. In addition, countries, especially those in the Global South, should be provided with adequate financial and technical support to enable them to effectively implement their climate plans. (NIKOLAJ E.

Inevitable tension surrounds this year's November climate talks under the auspices of the United Nations: They will be held in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, and the most important role in the negotiations will be played by the man who heads the nation's oil company. Chief Executive Sultan al-Jaber and other emirate officials have said they have a "game-changing" plan to combat climate change by welcoming oil and gas companies from around the world to participate more in talks. In other words, invite the producers of the fuels that cause most of the global warming to be key players in developing a plan to slow warming. (Max Bearak)

According to COP28 Director General Majid al-Suwaidi, the upcoming United Nations climate summit in Dubai will focus on bridging the gap between the Paris Agreement's climate goals and global emissions commitments. Why it matters: COP28 is seen as a last-ditch effort to limit warming to the most ambitious Paris target of 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels by 2100, by sharply bending the emissions trajectory downward.
