*[Enwl-eng] COP-OUT 26?

[ENWL]

--------------------------------------------------------

                        COP26 is almost upon us. Will it be a cop-out?

                        The petition that we'll be delivering has almost 
topped 500 organizations and 25,000 signers.


                        We encourage groups and individuals to organize 
events to advance this message (Stop excluding militaries from climate 
agreements!) on or about the big day of action in Glasgow on November 6, 
2021. Resources and ideas for events are here.

                        Join our event in Glasgow on Nov. 4, 2021. Facebook 
event. Join in the march through Glasgow on Nov. 6 (assembling as a Peace 
Bloc at 11.45 at the Tigress & Cubs statue in Kelvingrove Park, and being 
ready to join the march at 12.30).

                        Join in these sessions from anywhere on Earth at the 
Nov. 7 - 10 People's Summit:
                        Challenging the Military Carbon Bootprint.
                        Climate Colonialism and Climate Justice.
                        U.S. Militarism, Space Tech, and Climate Crisis.
                        Shadow World Film Screening.

                        Join this Nov. 6 webinar.


                        Many more events and resources here. And here.



                        To: Participants in COP26 UN Climate Change 
Conference, Glasgow, Scotland, November 1-12, 2021
                        From: YOU

                        As a result of final-hour demands made by the U.S. 
government during negotiation of the 1997 Kyoto treaty, military greenhouse 
gas emissions were exempted from climate negotiations. That tradition has 
continued.

                        The 2015 Paris Agreement left cutting military 
greenhouse gas emissions to the discretion of individual nations.

                        The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 
obliges signatories to publish annual greenhouse gas emissions, but military 
emissions reporting is voluntary and often not included.

                        NATO has acknowledged the problem but not created 
any specific requirements to address it.

                        There is no reasonable basis for this gaping 
loophole. War and war preparations are major greenhouse gas emitters. All 
greenhouse gas emissions need to be included in mandatory greenhouse gas 
emission reduction standards. There must be no more exception for military 
pollution.

                        We ask COP26 to set strict greenhouse gas emissions 
limits that make no exception for militarism, include transparent reporting 
requirements and independent verification, and do not rely on schemes to 
"offset" emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from a country’s overseas 
military bases must be fully reported and charged to that country, not the 
country where the base is located.
