#COP29 değerlendirmemi sevgili Semra Cerit Mazlum, @umitsa.bsky.social, Özgür Gürbüz ve @kivancgorkem.bsky.social'in yorumlarıyla okuyabilirsiniz. Tablo karamsar ama iklim krizini görmezden gelmek gibi bir şansımız yok. Her ölçekte hızlı, etkili ve kapsayıcı çözümler üretmek zorundayız.

IPC press conf #COP29 “Coal phase out and just transition in Turkey”. Our key messages: Turkey is 13th top CO2 emitter.

The UK has struggled to commission ONE new nuclear power station in the last 7 years, and it will not come on line for at least another 5-7 years, and it will not even replace the retiring fleet. And some people are still trying to convince us that nuclear is solution to the climate crisis. Insane!
