As the world heads towards a major overshoot of global temperature thresholds (and more environmental volatility) perhaps the real reason for state (relative) inaction is an underlying belief that there is more money to be made from adaptive measures/technology than from a green transition? Or of course, the fossil fuels industry, led by old men (mostly) & invested in by older people, just thinks the chaos won't start until they're long gone? #ClimateChange #politics

"Volgens de VN-topman is de prijs van benzine in 130 landen met zo'n 26 procent gestegen sinds de oorlog, en die van diesel 38 procent. "Families, bedrijven en regeringen betalen daarvoor de prijs. Ondertussen liggen negen oliemaatschappijen op koers om meer dan 95 miljard euro binnen te harken in drie maanden tijd. Dat is meer dan een miljard per dag." https://nos.nl/artikel/2638922-vn-chef-haalt-op-klimaattop-uit-naar-megawinsten-die-oliebedrijven-binnenharken #VN #fossil #AntónioGuterres #klimaattop #climatechange

Adaptation isn't keeping up with global warming, UN warns

With global warming set to exceed 1.5°C, adaptation finance falls far short of needs, implementation is constrained by institutional barriers, and losses and damages are mounting, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Vanuatu joined Australia by endorsing the rooftop solar declaration in the Turkish resort town of Antalya, where COP31 is being co-hosted by Turkey and Australia. Lawmakers from 21 other countries — including the United Kingdom, South Africa and Sri Lanka — have also endorsed it. So has Indonesia's state-owned electric power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/at-un-climate-talks-5-nations-back-plan-to-double-rooftop-solar-panels-by-2030 #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Drought driven by climate change is redefining how disease spreads, study finds

As climate change intensifies, drought is widening globally, causing alterations in water-dependent pathogen patterns, leaving scientists scrambling to understand how infectious disease transmission is evolving. They’ll need to act quickly to predict and prepare for future outbreaks: In 2025, annual drought affected approximately 30% of the globe’s land surface, a near doubling of area since […]

By 2050, more than one in five people globally will be aged 60 or over. Yet the systems being developed to help communities adapt to climate change must do more to include them. Without that, adaptation plans, data and finance risk missing the people most exposed to climate hazards https://www.helpage.org/news/climate-action-cannot-ignore-an-ageing-world/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
