This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change. theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

theconversation.com

A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning

Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

Many politicians and pundits are conditioned to say “But how are we going to pay for it?” How can we afford to rapidly transform our economies to be cleaner, greener and more equitable? If only there was something governments could stop spending money on? #ClimateSky 🔌💡 www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Art...

Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change

Discussions on the Gender Action Plan are underway at #COP29. After days of meetings, we expected a commitment that at least aligns with existing #HumanRights agreements. Instead, States are attempting to eliminate references to the protection of human rights - incl the rights of env. defenders.
