Here’s a link to some comments I made on Jimmy Carter’s legacy on WTOP… scroll down a few interviews to hear my reflections on his generous soul and his certainty that every person matters… wtop.com/national/202...

On Thursday at #plasticpollution #INC5 in Busan, delegates debated questions related to the mandatory and/or voluntary aspects of the future treaty on plastic pollution

After tense #COP29 talks, parties agreed on a new climate finance goal... but many argued the USD 300 billion/year was an “insult”
While parties took decisions on carbon markets, on many other issues they remained deadlocked

A group of delegates huddling in a corner of the venue to reflect on the new texts published by the Presidency.
No end in sights for #COP29
Groups are still coordinating their positions on the various texts published by the Presidency, including on the new finance goal, the global goal on adaptation, and on taking forward the outcomes of the global stocktake
A recent workshop on the Global Sustainable Development Report 2023 aimed to deepen knowledge of the #GSDR's applicability in the Asia and Pacific region

Day 2 @ #COP29
Parties rejected what could have been the basis for a draft text on the new collective quantified goal on finance
But parties have also mandated the preparation of draft text on a range of issues... early for the climate process

On Wednesday at #UNEA6 high-level dignitaries joined exhausted delegates.
Multilateral Environmental Agreement Day celebrated the interlinkages between environmental issues.
Negotiations on draft resolutions were far from celebratory but marched on.
Delegates at #OECPR6 meeting in three parallel sessions felt the pressure of Friday's looming deadline.
However, by mid Thursday, the working groups were still contending with bracketed text on contentious issues such as armed conflict and jurisdiction of the high seas.
As freezing rain fell on #CMSCOP14, delegates deftly negotiated the slippery terrain of #deepseamining, the new Strategic Plan for #MigratorySpecies, and the budget.
As CMS Executive Secretary Fraenkel put it, the result was "the best COP ever."
