Great to meet a good friend again: Yasmine Fouad, the ES of the @unccd.bsky.social. Together we facilitated 2018 at #COP24 in Katowice on #climatefinance. Now she is leading the UN Rio Convention on #land and #soil. Enormously relevant for #water, #biodiversity, #climate and of cause #food!

At #COP24, OceanCare called for a Regional Climate Change Mitigation Plan for the Mediterranean. With the new Climate Change Regional Activity Centre (CC/RAC) now operational, countries must move from adaptation to mitigation — because climate protection is ocean protection. 🌊

#COP24: UN Ocean Envoy Amb. Peter Thomson reminded delegates that true ocean stewardship means acting for future generations — guided by regeneration, reciprocity & respect at the core of ocean governance. 🌊 He urged: #Ocean & climate action are inseparable. It’s time to stop fossil fuels.

The #Mediterranean talks about climate impacts. But concrete emission reduction plans? Missing. The #BC3 analysis shows: at current emission rates, the carbon budget of the region will be exhausted by 2035. At #COP24, we're pushing for a regional mitigation plan. Not just impact assessments.

👉Yesterday at our side event at the #COP24 of the #BarcelonaConvention, Dr. María Victoria Román from #BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change presented the first analysis to identify the Remaining Carbon Budget for the Mediterranean Region – and what it means for Range States.

🌊At #COP24 our director and co-leader of the #BlueTourismInitiative, Jeremie Fosse, will present the new MED Blue Tourism Flagship, aimed at strengthening governance, standards and climate resilience in Mediterranean.🌍

Carbon Budget of Mediterranean soon Exceeded - OceanCare New report on the Mediterranean carbon budget by BC3, commissioned by OceanCare, shows: an annual CO₂ reduction of 6% is necessary.

2/2 👉 If you're attending #COP24, we'd be glad to see you there. Dr. María Victoria Román (BC3) will present the findings of the report, followed by a roundtable exploring paths for addressing the climate crisis in context to ocean conservation.

Full report: www.oceancare.org/en/stories_a...

The Mediterranean's carbon budget will be exhausted by 2035 at current emission rates.

Next week at #COP24 of the #BarcelonaConvention in Cairo, OceanCare & BC3 will present our report showing why urgent action is needed.

"The report also said that last year saw a sixfold increase in climate disaster-induced displacements, rising from 1.1 million in 2009 to 6.3 million."

Abschluss der UN-Klimakonferenz: ein Erfolg oder ein Misserfolg? Die Weltklimakonferenz in Aserbaidschan einigte sich nach erbittertem Streit auf ein neues Finanzziel für Klimahilfen an ärmere Länder - 300 Milliarden US-Dollar im Jahr bis 2035. Das ist drei Mal so ...

Das Festival der Peinlichkeit mit Ergebnis.

Der #COP24 Beschluss ist bescheiden und mit 300 Mia zu tief, aber es gibt immerhin einen Beschluss: www.srf.ch/.../weltklim....
Hoffentlich kann meine Initiative im Parlament dazu beitragen, dass die Schweiz ihre Verantwortung wahrnimmt: www.parlament.ch/.../suche-cu.... #Klimagerechtigkeit

Und weiter interessiert es keinen. Da findet #COP24 statt, Tage später trifft man sich in Brasilien, fossile sind aber weiter das Ding. Leute was muss eigentlich noch alles passieren bis ihr endlich umdenkt. Regen und Schnee in der üste gabs ja erst, aber was? Denkt mal an die Zukunft eurer Kinder

Warum Lösungen, wenn man Pöbeln kann?
