From enwl at enw.net.ru Mon Aug 1 19:46:45 2022 From: enwl at enw.net.ru (enwl) Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 20:46:45 +0400 Subject: *[Enwl-eng] here is the latest news from the High-Level Champions! Message-ID: UN Global Climate Action 1 August 2022 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter Climate Investor Roadshow Starts in Africa A series of regional forums kicks off in Addis Ababa today, aimed at accelerating financial flows to the projects needed to accelerate financial flows to the projects needed to reduce emissions, build climate resilience and advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. These roundtables ? titled Towards COP27: Regional Forums on Climate Initiatives to Finance Climate Action and the SDGs ? take place across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and are hosted by the incoming Egyptian COP27 Presidency, the UN Regional Commissions and the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions. Developing countries entered the Covid-19 crisis with significantly bigger debt vulnerabilities than at the start of the 2008 financial crisis, leaving them with constrained fiscal space in which to build resilience to climate impacts and respond to the pandemic. Meanwhile, developed countries and private sector investors have yet to deliver the US$100 billion per year of climate finance promised by 2020. The Africa Group of negotiators has called for US$1.3 trillion per year to be made available from 2025. The regional forums will convene countries looking to raise capital for critical climate projects and initiatives, along with significant financial institutions such as regional development banks and members of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. They will look at how best to de-risk investments in developing countries and help countries present their investment-ready projects. The schedule of forums is: Addis Ababa, Egypt: 2-4 August (register here) Bangkok, Thailand: 25 August Santiago, Chile: 1-2 September Beirut, Lebanon: 15 September Geneva, Switzerland: 20 September Building for Resilience City life around the world is being pushed to the brink by extreme, unbearable temperatures and the havoc they wreak. In the past month alone, Shanghai issued its highest alert for extreme heat for the third time this summer, requiring construction and other outdoor work to be reduced or paused. London saw the highest number of fires since World War II, and flights at Luton Airport halted due to a melted runway, as the capital breached a record 40 degrees Celsius. Tehran experienced power outages due to a heatwave, compounded by a severe drought that pushed up power prices. If this continues, major urban hubs will become unlivable in the coming decades, even as their populations multiply. Cities in developing and emerging economies are most at risk. We can avoid the worst impacts, by designing future built environments to be more resilient to climate change impacts and fit for a zero-emissions economy by 2050. The buildings and construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of energy- and process-related carbon emissions. That footprint is set to grow, with two-thirds of people expected to live in cities by 2060. In Africa, the floor area is expected to more than double by 2050. But only half of the urban fabric needed to accommodate this influx has so far been built. So the decisions businesses, investors, cities, regions and national governments take today will determine how liveable and resilient the built environment becomes. To reach net zero by 2050, all new buildings need to operate with net-zero emissions, whilst reducing the buildings? embodied emissions, by 2030, according to the Race to Zero?s Breakthroughs report. Given the lag time of around five years between design and completion of a large building, change must start now. This makes sound business sense. The shift to green buildings in emerging markets alone offers a US$24.7 trillion investment opportunity, and can spur sustainable development, according to the International Finance Corporation. Green buildings also offer sales premiums of up to one-third higher than traditional buildings, and sell faster. Their lower water and power consumption reduces operational costs by as much as 37%. And their construction can create millions of skilled jobs, and lead to improved health, equity and resilience. It will also save lives. Some 1 billion live in informal settlements in homes that are vulnerable to climate change, many with an iron roof that leaks when it rains and in a heatwave can feel like it?s cooking you. Yet little attention is given to this challenge of improving existing homes and building new ones in informal settlements. Roof Over Our Head, a new initiative led by Slum Dwellers International, is working to meet this challenge by bringing communities, cities, architects, industry and financiers together. Built Environment Action The shift towards greener, more resilient urban hubs picked up ahead of COP26 ? but it needs to accelerate. The High-Level Champions worked with a coalition of business and government groups to establish 26 climate action initiatives announced for the sector at COP26. Among those, 44 developers, designers and asset managers representing US$85 billion in annual turnover signed the World Green Building Council?s commitment to reduce energy consumption, eliminate emissions from energy and refrigerants, and reduce embodied carbon from new developments and renovations by 2030 and ensure that all buildings reach net zero operational carbon by 2050. More businesses have signed up to the commitment since COP26, including Africa Logistics Properties which acquires, develops and manages warehouses in East Africa; Deutsche Bank, which has over 6000 buildings in its portfolio; and Schneider Electric, according to a recent status report by the World Green Building Council. Governments are acting too. Austria has brought forward a sales ban on new gas boilers by two years to 2023, following similar moves by the Netherlands and Germany. Colombia has launched a national roadmap for zero-carbon buildings by 2050, and 33 US states and local governments have launched a coalition dedicated to creating cleaner, healthier and more affordable buildings. Recognizing that much of the growth will be in Africa, the World Green Building Council?s Africa Regional Network is developing a manifesto for sustainable cities and built environments on the continent, which will be released in the lead up to COP27. It makes recommendations across five areas: energy, water, materials, finance and infrastructure. The draft manifesto is now open for public consultation, with written comments due by 18 August through this form. This will be followed by regional roundtables ahead of COP27. Latin America & the Caribbean Climate Week July?s Latin America and the Caribbean Climate Week in Santo Domingo brought together over 1,700 participants from governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector and civil society, with events ranging from climate finance to the building of resilience to climate change impacts. The Champions hosted two Marrakech Partnership deep-dive workshops. The Implementation Lab, which looked at how infrastructure plans and financial flows can benefit strengthening coastal resilience while accelerating emission reductions in the region. The Regionalization Workshop saw Mahmoud Mohieldin, the COP27 High-Level Champion, and Raquel Moses, Global Ambassador for the Race to Zero and Race to Resilience, share the five-year plan for enhancing the Marrakech Partnership?s ambition. The Champions also convened a session on collaborative solutions for non-State action after impacts, highlighting the role of businesses in increasing resilience and shifting the focus from philanthropy to investment, as well as an open dialogue on the urgency of accelerating financial flows for mitigation and adaptation in the region and showing the immediate implementation of NDCs. The Champions also opened an event on the Global Stocktake, which underlined the importance of inclusiveness, regional balance and forward-looking opportunities. Mahmoud Mohieldin took part in the Climate Week?s opening and received the week?s outcomes from Dominican Republic Acting Environment Minister Milagros De Camps at the end, committing to take the region?s perspectives forward. Latin America and the Caribbean have already been hit by impacts such as drought, glacier melt, extreme rainfall and deforestation, according to a World Meteorological Organization report released during the week. You can watch all the week?s events here. Registration is now open for the next regional climate week, Africa Climate Week, from 29 August to 2 September in Libreville, Gabon. Keeping Up With The Champions a.. Businesses, investors and governments that are serious about fulfilling net-zero emissions pledges should be rushing to protect, conserve and regenerate nature ? yet the trailblazers are still worryingly scarce, Nigel Topping and Mahmoud Mohieldin wrote in Project Syndicate. a.. Mahmoud Mohieldin spoke at the UN?s The Africa We Want conference, in a roundtable on preparing for an African COP27. He emphasized the importance of addressing the special needs of developing countries in mitigation, adaptation and implementation. a.. On the sides of the Sydney Energy Forum, Mahmoud Mohieldin met Australia?s Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen and invited him to participate in COP27. He also met other government officials and business leaders to discuss mobilizing climate investments in Africa and emerging markets. a.. In Singapore, Mahmoud Mohieldin discussed climate finance, including mobilizing investments and setting up carbon markets in Africa, with Teo Chee Hean, the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Climate Change, and Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies.

Commenting in The Times on the UK?s political leadership race, Nigel Topping warned that any candidates wanting to water down the national net-zero emissions commitment, and supporting interim targets for 2030, is not serious about the UK?s future. In Case You Missed It ? The Champions and Marrakech Partnership today published their thematic programme for COP27, mirroring the incoming COP27 Presidency?s programme. Thematic days include finance; science; adaptation and agriculture; energy and gender; and biodiversity, youth and future generations. ? The UN Secretary-General?s Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities has opened a public consultation seeking ideas on how to ensure that net-zero pledges are credible and matched by concrete action. Submissions are due by 31 August through this portal. ? The chairs of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies are calling for all stakeholders to submit inputs to the first Global Stocktake, a process designed to assess collective progress towards achieving the Paris Agreement. Inputs are due by 6 August. ? The UN General Assembly has officially recognized the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. The last time the UN recognized a new human right ? to water ? in 2010, it spurred new action and protection around the world. ? A Western-dominated debate on reducing emissions needs to include ways to adapt to climate change and broaden energy access in Africa, according to a report by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. Financial pledges for adaptation remain ?small and most unrealized?, and the majority of global financing goes to industrialized middle-income countries for mitigation, it found. ? New UN-backed guidelines aim to protect, include and empower children who are forced to flee their homes due to the climate crisis. Nearly 10 million children were displaced due to weather-related shocks in 2020. ? Egypt, host of COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, has submitted an updated Nationally Determined Contribution covering key sectors including energy, industry and buildings, aligned with the country?s development and climate policies. ? African countries command a significant share of the global industry that has become integral to billions of people?s lives ? coffee. Yet, there is no guarantee that African coffee farmers will reap their fair share of benefits from efforts to develop a continental free trade area, which also faces risks from climate change, Bogolo Kenewendo, the Champions team?s Africa director, wrote in Project Syndicate. ? Converging shocks to global food security have exposed fragilities in global food systems, which urgently need to be made more resilient, Agnes Kalibata, former UN special envoy for the 2021 Food Systems Summit and global ambassador for the High-Level Champions, wrote in Project Syndicate. ? Carbon capture and utilization or storage should play three vital but limited roles in the energy transition, according to the Energy Transitions Commission: decarbonize sectors where alternatives are technically limited such as industrial processes; deliver carbon removals needed in addition to rapid emission cuts; provide a low-cost decarbonization solution in sectors and regions where CCUS is economically attractive.

We must act now to shut down illegal wildlife trading, and with your help, we will! Please help by making a donation now! Share Tweet Forward An estimated 2.7 million pangolins are poached annually in Central Africa alone, according to a new study by the UK?s University of Sussex. These statistics are harrowing, and they are worsening every year. Pangolins - shy, nocturnal animals who are mammals despite their scaly appearance - are now the most trafficked animal on the planet. Poached for their scales and meat, all eight species are now threatened with extinction. Without our help, another unique creature will be lost due to humankind?s relentless exploitation of wildlife. We DO have a plan to help, and with your support, we can implement it. Please help by making a donation now! Wildlife traffickers are taking advantage of remote ivory trade routes to smuggle pangolins out of Central Africa. Now, more than ever, we need to step up our pangolin conservation efforts. Pangolins are being stolen from the wild at a rapidly increasing rate to meet the demands of the illegal wildlife trade. Pangolin meat is considered a delicacy in China and Vietnam, and the scales are used for traditional Chinese medicines despite there being no scientific evidence supporting this use. Consequently, the international price of scales and meat has driven up local costs, resulting in pangolin poaching and trafficking becoming a lucrative activity in Africa. The pangolin trade is sickeningly cruel: often they are scaled while still alive and then dropped into boiling water to be cooked. Pangolins are being poached to extinction because of a multi-billion-dollar illegal trade. Worth an estimated $7-23 billion (?5.75-19 billion), the illicit wildlife trade has led to international criminal organizations exploiting low-risk, high-reward opportunities across the globe, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is ground zero. The Congo Basin exists as a haven for some of the most endangered species on the planet. The heart of the world?s second-largest tropical rainforest that stretches across six different Central African countries, the DRC has become the frontline of the burgeoning wildlife trade. The DRC is now the starting point of a trade route for wildlife trafficked to the world via the Middle East and Africa. To make matters worse, the illegal trade of pangolin meat in urban Congolese areas is also a huge problem. Pangolin species are being destroyed to meet the demands of the illegal wildlife trade. In the DRC and numerous other African countries, pangolins are sold as meat in urban markets and restaurants despite the national protected status of the different species. The giant, long-tailed and the white-bellied tree pangolin are marketed for local consumption in the DRC, and for international trade. The problem is the law enforcement in the DRC?s protected areas and forests is not enough to protect these unique animals. If these animals are to have any chance at survival, it is critical that the illegal trade be consistently infiltrated to bring wildlife criminals to justice. We have a plan to help do just this. By working alongside Conserv Congo, a Congolese non-governmental organization registered in the DRC, Animal Survival International (ASI) is helping combat the local consumption of pangolin meat in the DRC and helping to stop the illegal trade of pangolins and their scales. Conserv Congo investigates, reports and prosecutes wildlife crimes in the DRC and the Central African region by working with the Congolese Wildlife Authority (ICCN) and the national police. By mapping out transit and destination routes, and by using their vast network of undercover agents, they can help prevent wildlife crime by actively infiltrating criminal networks, confiscating illegal products and ensuring arrests are made. They have been involved in some of the biggest inland seizures of animal parts on the African continent and have enabled the arrests of wildlife criminals. This led to the dismantling of some of the biggest wildlife trafficking gangs. With around 6,000 wildlife investigations and 3,000 arrests, this organization has proven its successes time and again. But Vladimir, Conserv Congo?s operational costs are skyrocketing due to the increasing number of cases. It desperately needs the help of ASI supporters to continue its vital work. We MUST support grassroots organizations that conduct undercover sting operations to bring ruthless wildlife criminals to justice. Global networks, cross-border partnerships and a symbiotic relationship with law enforcement all allow our partner to bring culprits to justice and protect the Congo Basin?s pangolins and other wildlife species. It is an approach that works and one that, with your help, will help preserve the rapidly dwindling pangolin species. Please, will you help us today? Please help by making a donation now! Saving animals and the planet, Campaigner Animal Survival International P.S. Vladimir, it cannot be overstated: we are perilously close to losing pangolins. If we do not act now, we risk all eight species becoming extinct. Please donate as generously as you can right now to help us join the fight in shutting down the illegal wildlife trade and help to bring pangolins back from the brink of oblivion.

Donate Now The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recently announced measures prohibiting the entry of dogs from over 100 countries in order to prevent the spread of rabies. While preventing the spread of rabies is critically important, this policy is unnecessary because alternative measures could be adopted, which would allow for the rescue of dogs in truly desperate situations around the world without compromising public safety. Across the world, countless dogs suffer from some of the worst cases of cruelty and neglect, and until now, Canada has been a hope for these dogs for a second chance at a life in a loving family.

Deadly underwater explosives used by Tasmania?s industrial salmon producers are blinding, bruising and killing fur seals. We need a global outcry to protect seals and shame Australia?s salmon industry into action. Tell the salmon industry to stop using deadly seal crackers now! Sign the petition Protected fur seals are dying because of underwater bombs called seal crackers being detonated by industrial salmon producers in Tasmania, Australia. Seal crackers are designed to emit piercing noises and flashes of light that reverberate through the ocean. But they don't just scare seals: they also cause bone injuries, soft tissue burns, prolapsed eye balls and in some cases death, often from blunt force trauma. Can you sign the petition calling on Australia's Big Three salmon producers - Huon Aquaculture, Tassal and Petuna - to stop using deadly seal crackers and bring salmon pens onshore? Floating salmon pens are not only a disaster for the environment - depositing huge amounts of waste and antibiotics into pristine marine environments - they are also a magnet for hungry seals. But instead of moving the pens onshore away from the seal?s natural habitat, salmon producers detonate explosive seal crackers whenever seals come close. The Big Three Tasmanian producers have set off over 77,000 seal crackers in four years. But these underwater explosives are not the only risk to the seals - salmon producers also use shotguns to fire lead-filled projectiles at seals which can become embedded in their skin causing permanent injuries. will you help create a global outcry to shame the salmon industry into action? ? Add your voice: demand Huon Aquaculture, Tassal and Petuna stop using dangerous seal crackers and shotguns now. Tasmania, the island state off the south-coast of mainland Australia, is a pristine marine wilderness and one of the last places you can touch land before you reach Antarctica. Whales, dolphins, protected Australian fur seals and rare New Zealand long nosed seals share the ocean with species found nowhere else. First Nations people in Tasmania/lutruwita, who have been looking after the land and ocean for centuries have been speaking up against commercial fish producers in their waters because of its impact on the whole ecosystem. They know the salmon industry is a massive threat; diseases spread from crowded salmon pens to wild fish and large marine animals get caught and tangled in the nets. People power has already successfully pushed the salmon industry to change. After a big public outcry over Scottish salmon producers shooting seals, a ban was put in place there to protect the seals.

The crude oil from this tanker and many others will be refined by Marathon, Chevron, and Valero ? and sold by retailers throughout the state. In fact, on average 1 in 9 gallons pumped in California is derived from the Amazon. But here?s the price of fueling California with oil from the Amazon. The fossil fuel industry across the Amazon is a gateway to deforestation and is responsible for Indigenous Peoples' rights violations, pollution, and ongoing spills, and is connected to corruption, and a host of additional biodiversity and climate impacts. Governor Newsom must act now to stop California?s complicity in the Amazon destruction. Send a message to Governor Newsom and tell him to end California?s complicity in new oil drilling in the Amazon while also not expanding domestic production. SEND A MESSAGE Image credit: Mongabay In January 2022, a pipeline carrying crude oil in the Ecuadorian region of the Amazon ruptured ? contaminating over 226,000 square feet of the Cayambe Coca nature reserve and the massive Coca River. Less than two years ago, in April 2020, three ruptured pipelines spilled more than 15,000 barrels of oil into the Coca River and polluted the food and water of more than 27,000 members of downstream Indigenous communities. As California fuels up on Amazonian crude, Indigenous and frontlines communities in the rainforest are paying a hefty price. The toxic legacy of the fossil fuel industry not only affects the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, but it endangers vital biodiversity in the region. Rogue refineries should not be allowed to make Californians and businesses complicit in expanding oil drilling in the Amazon. We need elected leaders like Governor Newsom to stand to up to Big Oil and work with communities to end California?s oversized role in the destruction of the Amazon. We have to make sure Newsom understands the urgency of protecting this vital rainforest by delivering this message straight to his office. will you send a message to Governor Newsom and urge him to take action to protect the Amazon rainforest by helping to stop new oil drilling in the region? Our easy-to-use tool has a sample message you can use. The momentum to protect the Amazon is stronger than ever. Just like how the Stand.earth community stood up against fossil fuel projects like Trans Mountain, the Coastal GasLink pipeline, and the Teck tar sands mine, we know you?ll be here to resist the expansion of oil and gas drilling in the Amazon rainforest. We have shifted billions of dollars from fossil fuel projects in the Amazon and secured commitments from six banks to stop financing Amazon oil and gas. Thank you for calling an end to the U.S. and California's complicity in new oil drilling in the Amazon once and for all. With determination, Tyson Miller Amazon Programs Director Stand.earth P.S.

It's Our Democracy! -------------------------------------------------------------------- We all deserve toxic-free food. However, harmful chemicals called PFAS (per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) have increasingly been found in many of the substances we use and food we consume every day. These toxic ?forever chemicals? are all around us ? from takeout containers and plastic packaging to drinking water and cosmetics ? and can stick around the environment and our bodies indefinitely. That?s why we need the FDA to protect our health by banning PFAS immediately! Together we can urge the FDA to ban these dangerous chemicals! Raise your voice by signing the PFAS Public Health Petition. The Food and Drug Administration has an opportunity to protect the public from life threatening chemicals found in everyday items we need and rely on. Over time, PFAS exposure can lead to a wide range of serious health effects as it accumulates in the body, including: a.. Increased risk of cancers. b.. Decreased vaccine response in children. c.. Increased risk of high blood pressure. d.. Declines in infant birth weight, and more. But it doesn?t have to be this way! With guidance from the FDA, companies can begin to phase out PFAS from their products, using alternative methods to create the goods we need without putting our health at risk. The answer is clear: the FDA needs to turn off the tap to toxic chemicals and ensure that all Americans are protected from ?forever chemicals.? Persistent chemicals linked to health harm have no place in our food packaging. Sign the PFAS Public Health Petition and demand swift action from the FDA!

This three-hour free public event begins on August 6th at noon U.S. Eastern Time. Here is the start time in a lot of time zones: SIGN UP HERE. "The Day After" is a U.S. post-apocalyptic film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. A record-setting 100 million people watched it in the U.S. - and 200 million on Russian TV during its initial broadcast. The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact countries over Germany that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. The action focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, and of several family farms near nuclear missile silos. Then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan watched the film more than a month before its screening on Columbus Day, October 10, 1983. He wrote in his diary that the film was "very effective and left me greatly depressed," and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war." Maybe this film can still change hearts and minds! Join us to find out! We will have a short welcome on Zoom at 12 pm EDT, and then watch the movie from 12:05 pm to 2:10 pm EDT, followed by presentations and a question-and-answer period with our experts, Vicki Elson of NuclearBan.US and Dr. Gordon Edwards of Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.

About the Book: Threatened with a 5-year prison term, Francesco Da Vinci struggles with his Virginia draft board to be recognized as a sincere conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. Because of his controversial stand as a CO and activist, Da Vinci experiences intense intolerance, which spills over to his family and fianc?e. While his CO case is on appeal, Da Vinci forms a peace group in San Diego called Nonviolent Action. The peace group becomes a national movement, and its campaign to help end the war reaches the halls of Congress with the help of Sen. George McGovern. You might ask, why now for a ?60s memoir? The issues raised in I Refuse to Kill are today?s top issues - social justice, police brutality, government surveillance, persecution of nonviolent activists, and war versus the nonviolent resolution of conflict. The contributions of COs and sixties activists have been largely omitted from our history or flagrantly distorted for political reasons. I Refuse to Kill sets the record straight. SAVE YOUR SPOT NOW. Reviews: "Francesco Da Vinci's I Refuse to Kill will inspire and move you deeply. This amazing true story confirms that one person, acting with courage and conviction, can successfully oppose war and help change a part of history." - Peter Yarrow, Peter, Paul & Mary "If there is a saving grace in the sordid record of atrocities in Indochina, it is in the conscientious refusal of young men to serve in a criminal war. Francesco Da Vinci's pioneering role in this courageous course is an inspiration for all of us." - Noam Chomsky, Historian "Francesco Da Vinci's story is the testament of a brave activist risking his own freedom to ensure the humanity and dignity of others. May this book embolden people to oppose war and violence, and muster the courage to test new alternatives. - Joyce Ajlouny, General Secretary, American Friends Service Committee "It is time that the people of this country are more offended by war and more encouraging of peace and conscientious objection. Da Vinci's eye-opening book is an important step toward that end." - Ed Asner, Actor "Mr. Da Vinci's story of resistance, in which he risked everything for his moral convictions, could not be more timely as the US continues to be mired in numerous, seemingly endless, and equally senseless wars of choice." - Daniel Kovalik, author of No More War "As a veteran of the Iraq War, I wish I had summoned up the same courage Francesco Da Vinci showed in opposing the Vietnam war. I Refuse To Kill is more than a memoir; it is a guide book on how to stand by our convictions for peace no matter what the odds."- Garett Reppenhagen Executive Director - Veterans For Peace "Francesco Da Vinci has written a book which should be read by all people who populate the Department of 'Defense' and all in the military-industrial complex." - Helen Caldicott, Physician GET IN ON THIS BOOK CLUB: CLICK HERE. From a Review by David Swanson: The book is based on journals the author kept from 1960 to 1971, with a big focus on his attempt to gain recognition as a conscientious objector. The book is a personal memoir overlapping the big events of the ?60s, the peace rallies, the elections, the assassinations. In that regard it?s like an enormous pile of other books. But this one rises above in informing and entertaining, and it grows more and more engaging as you read through it. That its lessons are badly needed today is highlighted, I think, by the opening scene in which the author and a friend yell down from a hotel window at President Kennedy?s inauguration parade and Kennedy smiles up and waves to them. It occurred to me that nowadays ? and only in small part because of what later happened to Kennedy ? those young men might have gotten themselves shot or at least ?detained.? I was also struck by how much the later murder of Bobby Kennedy mattered, by the fact that who won an election to the White House could actually determine U.S. foreign policy in a major way ? which perhaps explains why people back then risked their lives to vote (as well as why many now yawn thrrough each successive ?most important election of our lifetime?). On the other hand, John Kennedy had tanks and a missile in his parade ? things nowadays deemed too crass for anyone but Donald Trump. There?s been progress as well as regression since the 1960s, but the powerful message of the book is the value of taking a principled stand and doing everything one can, and being satisfied with what comes as a result of that. Da Vinci faced pushback against his stand as a conscientious objector from his family, girlfriend, friends, teachers, lawyers, the draft board, a college that expelled him, and the FBI, among others. But he took the stand he thought would do the most good, and he did what else he could to try to end the war on Southeast Asia. As in almost every such story of rebellion against norms, Da Vinci had been exposed to more than one country. In particular, he had seen the opposition to the war in Europe. And, as in almost every such story, he?d had models and influencers, and for some reason chose to follow those models while most people around him did not. Eventually, Da Vinci was organizing peace actions like asking an aircraft carrier not to go to Vietnam (and organizing a city-wide vote on the question in San Diego): Da Vinci worked with many veterans of the war he was trying to conscientiously object to. One of them told him, as he records the conversation: ?When I signed up, I bought the bunk that we were in ?Nam to fight the Commies. But after I was in, I figured we weren?t really protecting Saigon, we were settin? it up so we could control it and grab stuff like oil and tin along the way. The brass and the government were using us big time. It made me super bitter. Any little thing could make me wanna freak out. I felt like I was heading for a nervous breakdown. Yet, I was one of two guys on my ship in charge of a nuclear key, which shows you how bad the Navy?s judgment was! . . . They pick two guys to wear keys that can activate the nukes. I wore it around my neck day and night. Out of spite, I tried to talk the other guy carrying a key to help me launch. I didn?t want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to sabotage the Navy. Pretty sick, I know. That?s when I told ?em they?d better find someone else.? If you?re keeping a list of known near misses with nuclear weapons, add one. And consider that the suicide rate in the U.S. military is probably higher now than it was then.

Message-ID: Thank you for standing behind stories that matter Protecting our planet starts with protecting our people. In Brooklyn?s Sunset Park, corporate developments are paving over green spaces and raising rent. But the community is coming together to reclaim their space ? building communal gardens, installing solar panels, and fighting gentrification ? led by youth artist and climate justice organizer Adan Palermo. This week, we released the third installment in The World We Need series ? in it, Adan Palermo tells his story of fighting corporate development and building environmental resilience in New York City?s concrete jungle. Will you help us continue this series, so we can tell the stories and uplift the voices of leaders from critical environmental battles? The World We Need is a compelling series of first-person narrated animations that feature leading lights of the movement for environmental justice. This series achieves several storytelling goals: it centers the stories of leaders and communities too often underrepresented in environmental media, inspires viewers to explore their own purpose and passion for changemaking, and dovetails with our Grassroots Grants program in an important way ? by driving financial and other forms of support toward leaders and groups on the frontlines of the fight for a more sustainable, just and equitable future. I want to support The World We Need Last year, The World We Need brought you the stories of Eric Enos, who preserves and teaches the ancient Hawaiian practices of caring for land and sea, and Sharon Lavigne, who fights to prevent the toxic buildout of plastics plants in Cancer Alley, Louisiana. Later this year, we?ll bring you the story of Alaskan Gwich?in leader Bernadette Demientieff, who is fighting to protect the pristine wilderness of the Arctic Refuge from oil drilling. Will you help us keep the series going? These activists are close to the pain, but also close to the promise ? their local victories have a ripple effect and far reaching consequences for all of us. We provide stipends of $1,000 to each of the activists we feature, which is funded through our Grassroots Grants program. It serves as a mini-grant to the organizations they represent. And, we?re developing wraparound materials for each activist, building out our website and social channels with material on their background, links to their organizations, how to support or donate, and updates on their campaigns, as well as study guides and short curricula for educators. Your support will help us produce these inspiring stories and bring them to audiences around the world. Thank you for standing behind stories that matter.

And it?s working. There have been over 65 approvals to use banned bee-killing pesticides across Europe since 2018. Make no mistake, Bayer and Syngenta will repeat this over and over until they essentially weaken and then destroy the bee-saving ban. That?s why your role in this fight to save the bees ? and protect the bee-saving ban ? is more important than ever, Vladimir.

View this email in your browser I?ll be blunt: the environmental movement doesn?t give enough credit, recognition, or support to Indigenous frontline communities. Meanwhile, many Indigenous leaders are quite literally risking their lives on a daily basis to push back against the fossil fuel industry?s invasion and destruction of their ancestral homelands. We want to change that. That?s why Stand.earth and our allies created the Frontline Fund to directly support Indigenous and other frontline activists around the world who are standing up to the oil and gas industry. Will you give a gift in order to directly support frontline and Indigenous communities and leaders? SUPPORT FRONTLINE ACTIVISTS Many of the communities and leaders we are working with don't have the time or capacity to develop fundraising efforts on their own. They just need support quickly for critical, time sensitive fights. Our team does the fundraising and administrative legwork so that frontline groups can focus on what?s important: on-the-ground efforts to protect land and water and make positive societal changes. The money we raise goes directly to supporting frontline activism. With your help, we?re going to scale this program up to make sure brave land protectors everywhere have the resources they need to assert sovereignty over their lands and continue to resist toxic oil and gas development. Can you pitch in whatever you?re able (seriously, even just $5 would make a huge difference) so more frontline land and water protectors can get the support they need? Since its creation in 2017, the Frontline Fund has provided crucial support to Indigenous communities from the Arctic to the Amazon. When the Wet?suwet?en called for help in opposing the Coastal GasLink pipeline, the Frontline Fund spent tens of thousands of dollars, covering the cost of multiple vehicles, communication equipment, travel, and food so they could better protect their homes. When the Tiny House Warriors of the Secwepemc Nation needed to get the message out about their fight to stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline, the Frontline Fund donated a MiFi unit and covered the cost for two years of a camp security cell phone bill. When the Kichwa Nation?s only plane broke down ? forcing them to travel 11 days by foot between communities to share information about oil and gas expansion threats near their home in the Ecuadorian Amazon ? the Frontline Fund paid to repair the plane. This is only a small sample of the kind of work the Frontline Fund does to support Indigenous warriors ? and an even smaller cross section of the kind of work that needs to be done to support Indigenous and other frontline activists around the globe. The unfortunate truth is that there are more urgent requests coming into the Frontline Fund than we can respond to. Help change that: donate $5 or whatever you?re able to help power frontline resistance to oil and gas expansion. Every single dollar you donate will go directly toward supporting frontline communities. Together, the Stand.earth community can lift up and resource the crucial work that Indigenous and other frontline activists are doing around the world, from the west coast of Turtle Island to the Amazon rainforest. Our team is fewer than 70 people, but this community is more than half a million people strong and growing ? and together, we're using our collective power to fight climate change, protect wild spaces, stand with impacted communities, and say no to new fossil fuels. Let?s create a reality where Indigenous and other frontline communities have all the support they need to stand toe-to-toe with the governments and corporations that would pollute and destroy their homes.

Myanmar's Military Junta Just Officially Executed Its Own People, for the First Time in 34 Years Sign Now Last February, Myanmar's democratic government fell to a violent military coup ? and the ruling junta has been on a mission to abuse human rights. Just recently, towards the end of July, the military junta sent new waves of terror through the country. In a brutal move, it announced it had executed four leading pro-democracy activists, including a former member of Parliament. Their names were Kyaw Min Yu ("Ko Jimmy"), Hla Myo Aung, Aung Thura Zaw, and former MP Phyo Zeya Thaw. They left behind not only a populace that looked to them with hope, but also loved ones left to suffer this unspeakable cruelty. As many as 70 other political prisoners are also facing possible execution. Authorities arrested the four activists last year, and held trials against them in secretive closed-door sessions, without due process. While family members knew the executions were coming, authorities did not inform them of the timing. On their final visits with their imprisoned loved ones, spouses and children did not realize those would be their final farewell moments. Weeks later, junta officials have still refused to return these martyrs' bodies to their families. Leaders in the international community have sent out brief statements condemning these chilling executions, but we all know that such words are not enough. Some nations are considering enacting diplomatic or economic consequences, and we must support them in this. Scores of other political prisoners are sitting in prison cells, knowing their turn at the gallows is next. We must demand that our leaders take decisive action, now!

Now superbugs are on the rise. Message-ID: <7B01A471B68E4C2A846BDF0FE8534A38@lewpostnew> We must regulate antibiotic use in livestock. Superbug Cases Are Exploding, and Factory Farms Are Partially to Blame Sign Now More than half of all antibiotics sold and used in the United States do not go to treating people. Instead, they go to animal agriculture ? where overuse of these drugs is now contributing to a huge upsurge in antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Factory farmers regularly dole out antibiotics in livestock's water and food supplies, as part of a general mission to prevent infections and death among their pig, foul, cow, and other animal populations. Preventing infections is a huge concern, because factory farmers lock these animals in filthy, feces-covered, overcrowded conditions where diseases can easily run rampant. While corporate farmers could solve this problem by improving facility conditions, they'd rather continue to pack animals as tight as possible to keep profits high. So instead they pump the animals full of antibiotics. This has already had disastrous consequences for human health. The more our bodies and bacteria get used to the presence of antibiotics, the more those bacteria evolve and mutate to fight off our antibiotic medical treatments. And that means we have fewer and fewer ways to protect ourselves when we get sick. As a result, the number and intensity of superbugs in humans is exploding. MRSA, CRE, candida auris, strep, and others are plaguing more and more people ? even young, healthy patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this superbug explosion has become even more dire. And these patients aren't just becoming incredibly sick. Many of them are dying as these overused medicines become less and less effective. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried to help reduce antibiotic use in agriculture, but with limited success. That's partially because it hasn't set many hard, enforceable rules. Recently, it began requiring farmers to work with veterinarians to administer certain antibiotics that it deems "medically important" for human use. But as long as a vet is willing to sign off on the treatment, there's not much enforcement in place to stop misuse. Other, over-the-counter antibiotics don't even require this cursory veterinary involvement ? even though they can also contribute to superbug development! Animal agriculture is already killing captive, defenseless creatures. It's killing the planet with horrendous greenhouse gas contributions. And now it's killing humans, too, through incessant antibiotic use. The U.S. government must finally regulate the use of antibiotics in livestock, and stop our worsening superbug crisis.

Message-ID: <0C5085B4425A4E0BB6F24B969E324AFC@evol.sp.ru> It?s no secret that powerful special interests in the fossil fuel industry will do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo, maximize profits and deny future generations a livable planet. So, in the face of record-breaking profits from Big Oil companies, we must continue organizing, protesting, and advocating to stop these greedy corporations from enriching themselves at the expense of working people. It is clear that President Biden must take the necessary actions to meet the scale of the climate crisis, especially with heat waves, wildfires, and floods gripping the nation. In addition to his proposed bill to invest hundreds of billions into climate solutions, he must hold Big Oil accountable by passing a windfall profits tax. Watch More Perfect Union?s exclusive reporting on the real way to stop Big Oil price gouging the way it?s done everywhere else: a windfall profits tax with direct rebates to help working families. Then sign our petition to President Biden to join the fight. Add Your Name The truth is, we can?t afford any inaction on climate change. But with Big Oil and the climate change denying politicians they fund fighting to maximize fossil fuel profits at all cost, we need you and thousands of people across the to step up and force the Biden administration to take action. From the U.K. to Spain, and Italy, governments around the world are actually working to deliver real relief for the people by taking excess oil and gas profits and using this money to keep energy bills low for poorer families while investing in renewable energy solutions. We?re building momentum to challenge the fossil fuel industry and make sure that their profits benefit working people and our climate in the process. We must demand accountability for Big Oil?s price gouging and right now you have a chance to get President Biden to follow in the footsteps of nations around the world. The more people who make their voices heard, the better our chances are of enacting a windfall profits tax plan with direct rebates to consumers.

Message-ID: <47012B0C3F7E48ECAF9DCF06DD7C70D3@evol.sp.ru> Dear friends, From the climate crisis to Covid-19, the challenges of our time don?t respect national borders ? they are global. So our response to them must be too. The United Nations has been the boldest and most visionary experiment in international cooperation in the history of humanity ? but in some important ways it?s broken. Too remote. Lacking teeth. Dominated by too few powerful nations. The UN Secretary General knows this, and has set up a major global consultation to gather public input on how to make the UN work better. It closes in days ? so we?re asking Avaazers across the planet to take a very short survey on what we all want from the UN. Let?s all take it, and the results will be formally submitted to the UN reform process! Take the Survey Now and Let?s Help Fix the UN When it emerged from the wreckage of World War Two, the UN represented a giant step forward in how humanity was governed. And from responding to humanitarian crises to tackling the ecological emergency the UN has played a crucial role in shaping our world for the better. But with humanity facing multiple urgent existential crises, it needs to evolve. Without highly-functioning global governance, it?s much harder, maybe impossible, to meet the challenges we face. There are simple things that could help, like reforming decision-making, and securing a greater role for citizens to suggest policies and choose an excellent Secretary General to lead the UN. But to stand a chance to win them, we have to make our voices heard. Loud and clear. Take the Survey Now and Let?s Help Fix the UN Our global community shares many of the values of the UN ? from our fierce defence of human rights to our deep commitment to securing a sustainable future for everyone. Now we have a chance to help shape the future of this crucial organisation ? let?s take it!

Tortoises in Madagascar are being HIDEOUSLY INJURED, all for the exotic pet trade! wild. View this email in your browser Help save 26,000 endangered tortoises in Madagascar from the illegal pet and food trade. Please, help us care for and release them back to the wild. Please help by making a donation now! Share Tweet Forward Dear Vladimir, You may recall that last year, thanks to your support, we worked with our Madagascan partner, Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA), to feed and care for 800 radiated tortoises rescued from smugglers. These critically endangered creatures, as well as many other tortoise subspecies, are rapidly heading towards extinction due to insatiable demand for their meat and the illegal pet trade. Today, we must ask for your help again - TSA is running out of resources to maintain its rapidly filling rehabilitation centers. Please help by making a donation now! A few weeks ago, our team visited TSA and saw firsthand the extent of the illegal wildlife trade in Madagascar and the sheer volume of vulnerable creatures affected by it. Fortunately, TSA - in partnership with local communities - does magnificent work in seizing stolen tortoises and rehabilitating them, but the number of animals in its care is increasing almost daily. TSA has now saved 26,000 tortoises and is running out of space and food for these vulnerable creatures; without the help of caring people like you, it cannot continue its vital work. The harsh reality of the illegal wildlife trade is that animals are not merely killed, but cruelly tortured to death. Species are being wiped out in the most brutal ways. In Madagascar, tortoises are captured in their thousands. After being stolen from the wild, they are usually bound with duct tape, stored in bags, and left, sometimes for months at a time, in the wilderness until they can be smuggled. Vladimir, they must endure living in their own urine and feces and are often starved and left without water for long periods of time. Many are terribly mistreated and suffer cracked and broken shells. Those who do not die of these injuries and neglect are ultimately sold as pets or consumed for unfounded ?medicinal? purposes. TSA works closely with local communities in Madagascar to intercept smugglers and rescue wildlife. Local people are empowered by a centuries-old, community-based law called Lilintane I Androy, which supports a long-held cultural tradition of protecting tortoises. Local people can apply this law when they encounter poachers, which enables the wildlife to be confiscated and poachers to be arrested and prosecuted. Animal Survival International campaigner, Roxy de Saint Pern, talks with a local tribesman who helps protect and care for the radiated tortoises rescued by the TSA. TSA takes confiscated tortoises to its centers across Madagascar, where they are expertly cared for. Often, they require critical, life-saving care. They are rehabilitated in a secure and appropriate natural habitat - mostly large, protected forested areas - until they are strong enough to be released back into the wild. Ensuring that they can be safely released is of paramount importance. TSA cares for over 26,000 rescued tortoises in seven rehabilitation centers across Madagascar. Each of these rescued creatures is critical to the species' survival and requires dedicated care and support - but TSA is fast running out of resources to sustain all its rescued wildlife. In a symbiotic exchange, local farmers provide food for the tortoises, and TSA in turn helps to provide water and critical infrastructure to the villages. TSA is facing serious challenges. Ironically, because of the ?success? of these local partnerships, more and more tortoises are being saved from the illegal trade, which means that TSA?s rehabilitation centers are filling rapidly. Two of their largest rehabilitation and soft-release centers - Tortoise Conservation Center (TCC) and Lava Volo Center (LVC) in forested habitats in the south - are both as much as 50% over capacity. Community farmers are struggling to provide sufficient food for the tortoises due to their outdated farming methods and extreme food scarcity during Madagascar?s dry season which can last up to SIX MONTHS. Global warming has only made these dry periods more intense, and local farmers have not yet adapted their agricultural methods to be resilient to the accelerating climate crisis. The result is that TSA rehabilitation centers are struggling to feed and shelter all the animals they save. Of these rescued tortoises, some subspecies are so close to extinction that their exact type and location cannot be named for fear of the center being targeted by wildlife criminals. We are determined to ensure that TSA has a continual, secure source of food for rescued wildlife. With your support, Vladimir, as a caring custodian of this planet and its wildlife, that is what we will do. Our partners are extremely proactive and are constantly finding new ways to meet the needs of the wildlife in their care, but they cannot do it alone. If we can raise $15,000 (?12,400), we can rush funds for critically needed food to TSA to sustain its rescued tortoises for the next six months. Your urgent donation will also support TSA?s long-term program which educates local farmers on more sustainable farming practices. These updated farming practices will help farmers maximize their harvests and create a secure, year-round supply of food for tortoises. Please help by making a donation now! In the near future, we would also like to help TSA expand its infrastructure at TCC, one of its largest soft-release sites. Vladimir, with your help, we can support this extremely successful program so that TSA does not have to turn away any vulnerable wildlife. We MUST support successful programs like this, because the more we support them, the more animals they can save, the more poachers they can stop and the better the chances the tortoises have to survive. Please help by making a donation now! Saving animals and the planet, Campaigner Animal Survival International P.S. Vladimir, during our visit, we were shown a campsite where hundreds of tortoises had been butchered for human consumption. Thanks to TSA?s effective partnerships on the ground, the team was informed and was able to alert local police. One of the poachers (so far) was caught and imprisoned, and is awaiting trial, and 880 pounds (440 kilograms) of meat was confiscated and burned - this equates to around 500 to 1,000 butchered tortoises - a loss the species can ill afford. Since this sting operation, poachers have been driven out of the village entirely. This is the incredibly worthy work that TSA does, Vladimir, and we MUST continue to support it if we are to save as many tortoises as we possibly can AND bring poachers and smugglers to book.

Now, a local activist group in Mexico, Kanan Human Rights, have a plan to stop this: they are taking the Maya Train to court! Though they have won some of their appeals, they are facing some major roadblocks as federal courts don't want to talk about human rights violations. This is how you can help -- Kanan wants the most authoritative court in Mexico to take the case, as it can do a much deeper analysis. Kanan is convinced that the Mexican Supreme Court will affirm what we already know: that the Maya Train violates the rights of Indigenous Peoples', campesinos, and various local communities, as well as a long list of environmental rights. Sign here to tell the Mexican Supreme Court to take up the Maya Train case. Officially, the construction of the train requires an Environmental Impact Assessment -- but Kanan noticed serious irregularities in the assessment process, which makes the assessment incomplete and inapplicable. For example, the information disclosed to the public was incomplete. There was neither mention of environmental damages to the cenotes nor of the conservation and soil restoration programs. Kanan Human Rights has filed an appeal for review of the sentence -- and they want it to be resolved by the highest court in Mexico: the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. This is not the first time the SumOfUs Community supports a court case and wins it. Together we helped Maxima Acuna stop Newmont Mining's mine development in Peru. Her heroic efforts won her the Green Nobel Prize. Today, we can come together and put an end to the harmful Maya Train project.

Factory farmed fish in crammed cages are more susceptible to disease and injury. They are usually starved - for up to two weeks or more - before they are transported and slaughtered. Industrial fisheries then slaughter them with methods that cause immense suffering such as cutting the gills while they are still conscious or leaving them to suffocate. [5] But European fish can be farmed more humanely. Through more space and death without suffering, fish would be free from stress, pain and disease. [6] We have fought for the welfare of farmed animals before and won! Last year thousands of us spoke up to protect millions of animals in Europe that spend most of their lives in a cage, sometimes from birth until death. And we convinced the EU to phase out cages in land animal farming across Europe. [7] Now we can end more suffering by speaking out for the welfare of fish! Yes, I will speak out for fish welfare Thank you for adding your voice, David (London), Rachel (Brussels), and the whole WeMove Europe Team PS Did you know that industrial fisheries feed wild fish to the caged fish? By changing how we farm European fish, we would also be saving our seas and oceans by making sure that wild fish are sustainably caught. Sign now.

View email in browser -------------------------------------------------------------- As Russia ramped up its invasion of Ukraine, world leaders seemed to be falling over each other to impose tough sanctions on trade with Putin. But months since the war started, it is clear that the sanctions have failed, because they do not cover a big financial boost for Russia - exporting oil, gas and coal. Russian revenues from fossil fuels are through the roof, doubling in the first 100 days of the war. The fact is that Putin can still sell fossil fuels directly to almost every country in the world. Oleg Ustenko, chief economic advisor to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, recently condemned the sanctions on Russia as ?non-existent?. READ MORE Ustenko notes that, despite the headlines, new UK, EU and US sanctions grabbed and the political discussion they caused, ?restrictions currently cover less than 5% of Russia?s pre-war crude oil export?. That has allowed Russia to benefit from high prices, while having a negligible impact on the amount they produce or export. Whilst energy giants report massive profits, people are struggling with their energy bills, a disparity that has been damned as ?grotesque? by the UN Secretary-General. And yet, far from ramping up efforts to further aid Ukraine and their own people in the long-term, UK and EU leaders are watering down their restrictions on Russian oil trade. The world is at a crossroads. Too often our leaders choose to go down the well-trodden path of ineffective climate measures that look good on paper, but provide no real solutions. This is an area where several roads intersect - the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis seen across the world, and climate breakdown. We need to get this one right. We are therefore calling for a complete embargo on Russian fossil fuels in Europe. Governments have the power to take the first step towards a safe future: embargo on ALL Russian fossil fuels in Europe and invest in a rapid, fair, and equitable transition to clean energy, once and for all.

Millions of fox, mink, raccoon dogs and chinchillas spend their entire lives trapped in tiny wire cages, living with poor hygiene, stress, injuries, disease and very minimal veterinary care before being killed and skinned for so-called fashion. They live in conditions no animal should ever endure. Animals need their fur. We don?t. Please take action for foxes, mink, raccoon dogs and chinchillas today, who are helpless victims of this vicious industry. Take Action Fur farms are not only horrific places where animals are driven insane by captivity before they're brutally killed, but they can also act as reservoirs for deadly viruses, as well as create new viruses. This is mostly due to the high-density, filthy conditions that these poor animals are forced to live in. Last year, 20 million mink were ordered to be killed after COVID-19 broke out on mink farms across Europe and North America. Animals need your help to call on all countries to ban fur farms?for the safety of animals and humans. Now more than ever, animals need your voice to stop the cruel and deadly fur trade.

Europe is literally melting, with roads and runways turning into warped globs of sticky, hot tar. The UK just suffered through its hottest day in history. Arctic permafrost is melting 43x faster than before. This is not normal. Climate change is destroying our planet already ? and yet somehow keeps accelerating. But the worst offenders behind it ? a rotten, predatory financial sector that has poured an unbelievable $4.6 trillion into fossil fuels since the Paris agreement ? are flying completely under the radar. We?re going to change that. SumOfUs has a plan to build a crack team of campaigners and investigators to expose the financial industry?s responsibility for this emergency, then run massive campaigns in the media and with shareholders to force them to change. We?ll shine the spotlight on these giants like never before. It could be a turning point for the planet, but we can?t do it without your help. Will you chip in to hold the worst climate criminals to account? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately. Donate $3 now Donate another amount Scientists are losing it, saying ?We?ve never seen anything like this.? But household names like JPMorgan Chase, Citi, and Bank of America just carry on with business as usual. The $4.6 trillion they?ve given since 2016 is since they promised to pursue net-zero. The companies they shower with loans, investment, and insurance are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions. If the banks just defunded fossil fuels, it could literally reset our global economy ? and the fight against climate change. But right now, in anonymity, the financial incentives are all wrong. We need to change the calculation, by making these banks as famous for fuelling climate chaos as they are for plastering their names all over sports stadiums. Here?s how we?ll do it: a.. Build a team of expert climate defenders to run mega-campaigns that expose the worst offenders; a.. Make the CEOs famous for their role in climate destruction, hounding them at public appearances and splashing their faces on billboards and in the media; a.. Organise employees of targeted investment banks to oppose their companies? policies from the inside; a.. File shareholder resolutions around the world to change the rules for investing in favour of the planet. These banks are the root of the climate crisis. If we?re going to save the planet, this has to work. And we know it can because we?ve done it before, convincing insurance giant AIG to end its underwriting of a disastrous, climate-wrecking coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef. Time to do it again ? and again. Will you chip in to fund this plan to take on the big banks wrecking our climate?

The climate crisis isn't decades in the future. It is right now and it?s time for every one of us to stand together to demand urgent, transformative actions to address it. The Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act over the weekend and the House is expected to pass it by the end of this week, setting the stage for President Biden to sign more than $350 BILLION in spending to fight climate change. That?s a big deal, but it?s also still not enough. Stopping the climate crisis will require far-reaching changes in all parts of society. It?s going to take bold, ambitious, and transformational ideas on a global scale if we have a chance to reverse this existential threat to our planet. With the fossil fuel industry being one of the most powerful political forces in the country, we need leaders at every level to confront them head-on to usher in a new era of just, bold, and equitable climate action. It is time for the United States to lead on this issue by calling the climate crisis what it is: an emergency that requires an urgent, massive response. Tell President Biden to meet the immediate threat of the climate crisis and declare climate an emergency under the National Emergencies Act. Add Your Name It?s no secret that the fossil fuel industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars to protect its interests, while they continue to lie and deny the reality of climate change. The politicians and institutions that are bought and paid for would rather protect billions of dollars in profits, leaving future generations to deal with the catastrophic consequences of climate change. Let?s unite to demand the transformative change we need in order to save our future. It?s time we act like climate change is the emergency that it is and confront the fossil fuel industry driving the crisis. Tell President Biden to meet the immediate threat of the climate crisis and declare climate an emergency under the National Emergencies Act.

Over six months have passed since the war caused by Russia?s invasion began in Ukraine. People and nature are suffering because of the hostilities, and the consequences affect not just the region but the entire world. Here at UWEC Work Group we continue to track and analyze the war?s negative impacts on the environment and climate. We are also assembling and proposing solutions to soften those impacts. We recently joined the United Nations Environment Working Group in Ukraine, an effort to analyze the war?s environmental consequences and exchange information. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is coordinating this effort. We are also expanding our partnerships with both Ukrainian and regional environmental organizations. For this issue, we interviewed Olha Boiko, coordinator of Climate Action Network ? Eastern Europe Caucasus Central Asia (CAN EECCA) and climate change campaigner at Ecoaction. She spoke about efforts to strengthen collaboration between European and Ukrainian environmental organizations working not just to end the war, but also to minimize its consequences for the environment and climate. a.. Tracking impacts on nature while winning the war: an interview with Olha Boiko One clear example of such cooperation is Greenpeace International?s investigation into the consequences of the Russian invasion in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Together with Belarusian independent environmental media Green Portal, we review the investigation?s key findings. a.. Influence of Russia?s military intrusion on the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone: Results of an independent investigation by Greenpeace International The war and accompanying sanctions are seriously affecting global climate policy. Against the backdrop of an unprecedented drought in Europe and weather anomalies in Southeast Asia, we are reminded that we must work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. At the same, Russia is becoming more isolated and acting to dilute or cancel a number of climate policy measures. What look at what this means and how it affects the global climate agenda. a.. How has Russia?s climate policy changed since the beginning of the war against Ukraine? Renewal of the Cold War discourse is leading states to enclose their territories with barriers and minefields. Bia?owie?a Forest (Belovezhskaya Pushcha) was recently divided by an impervious fence along the border of Poland and Belarus. There is also recent news about new minefields on the Ukraine-Belarus border in the Polesie forest area. Although these actions are politically justified, they can be detrimental for wildlife. It is absurd to build fences while simultaneously discussing wildlife corridors. a.. Can the Iron Curtain Be Green? Europe?s nature is being divided by fences and fortifications While the war rages, Ukrainian and Russian governments are actively ?reforming? environmental legislation ? mostly for the worse, but sometimes for the better. This summer, both countries updated rules for legitimizing secondary forests that have grown on disused agricultural lands. Our experts assess these reforms. a..

Message-ID: <4996EEFFA15C4627B7BA3F0967578635@evol.sp.ru> UN Global Climate Action 26 August 2022 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter Clean Cooking Climate Action Improving access to clean cooking is one of the most effective ways to improve public health, reduce carbon emissions, promote gender equity, and address longstanding environmental injustices ? yet it remains chronically underinvested as a solution to these problems. The High-Level Champions have partnered with the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) to galvanize breakthroughs in this sector ahead of COP27 and help the entire African continent reap the benefits of access to clean cooking. The use of greenhouse gas-emitting fuels in cooking, such as wood, charcoal, coal, and kerosene, is responsible for the same share of global emissions as the shipping and aviation sectors, the CCA calculates. That?s massive, and so are the impacts of these polluting cooking fuels, especially on the most vulnerable communities: over US$2.4 trillion of damage to the climate and local economies, and 3.2 million premature deaths per year linked to household air pollution, according to the World Health Organization. This pollution is linked to childhood pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, ischemic heart disease, stroke and lung cancer, low birthweight and stillbirths. Women and children bear the brunt of these impacts, as they spend more time cooking and in the house. Shifting to clean cooking can also cut potent manmade black carbon emissions worldwide, up to half of which come from household energy use. So far, clean cooking solutions only draw tens of millions of US dollars in investment, a paltry amount considering that the World Bank estimates US$10 billion a year is needed by 2030 to achieve universal access. However, change is underway. More than 400 million people have gained access to clean cooking fuels and technologies since 2010, saving over 4.6 million lives from the health impacts of air pollution, according to the CCA. The capital raised in the first half of this year is more than double what was reported in 2020, and clean cooking businesses such as Circle Gas and KOKO Networks are seeing strong customer growth in their African markets. The launch of Spark+ Africa, the world?s first impact fund for clean cooking solutions, was also promising. As of March, it had drawn US$40 million from development finance institutions, foundations, family offices, and pension funds. The fund aims to raise US$70 million to finance companies providing clean cooking alternatives. Nearly 70 countries have already targeted clean cooking as part of their Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement, according to the CCA. Kenya is aiming for universal access to clean cooking by 2028, two years ahead of schedule. Rwanda wants to ensure access to modern, efficient cookstoves for 80% of its rural population and half its urban population by 2030. Nepal is installing 500,000 clean cookstoves in rural areas by 2025 and transitioning a quarter of households to electric cooking by 2030. At least another 30 countries with over 1 million people relying on intensive greenhouse gas emission fuels for cooking still need to prioritize clean cooking and partner with financial institutions to establish broader access to clean cooking, the CCA says. By reducing the demand for firewood and encouraging new forest growth, clean cooking can address both nature loss and emissions reductions, while also improving health and women?s empowerment. It's imperative that countries and institutions align with nature-based finance to realize these vast potential gains. Catalyzing Adaptation Finance We know we need a significant scale-up of public and private finance for adaptation to respond to changes already underway. That calls first of all for a concerted injection of public finance in countries, communities and projects that will otherwise struggle to attract private financiers looking for strong rates of return. Public adaptation finance can help to de-risk and leverage private investments that are vital to protecting global business and economic security, and can form a foundation from which to build resilience. Early warning systems, for example, could better prepare smallholder farmers in Africa for extreme weather, thereby protecting coffee and cocoa crops exported by major food companies. As of 2021, the gap in current and needed spending on adaptation to climate impacts was widening. Adaptation costs are estimated to reach US$280-500 billion per year by 2050 in developing countries, according to the UN Environment Programme. As of 2020, public and private adaptation finance was around US$28 billion, according to the OECD. COP26 saw an encouraging show of support for public adaptation funding from developed countries. The UN?s Adaptation Fund received a record-breaking US$356 million in pledged contributions from 16 national and regional governments. Nine months after COP26, however, just over US$230 million of that remains outstanding ? from Canada, the EU, Spain, the UK and the US, according to the Adaptation Fund. There is no more time to lose. Countries need to deliver their pledged finance in time for Sharm El-Sheikh?s COP27 in November. In so doing, they will send a signal to private investors that adaptation is as necessary ? and as attractive ? an investment as mitigation and resilience, and support the UN?s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The High-Level Champions are working to unlock climate finance by organizing a series of regional forums, Climate Initiatives to Finance Climate Action and the SDGs, in partnership with the Egyptian incoming-COP27 Presidency and UN Regional Commissions. The first forum took place in Ethiopia earlier this month; the second was held in Thailand this week. Africa Climate Week The UNFCCC?s next Regional Climate Week ? Africa ? takes place in Libreville, Gabon from 29 August to 2 September. It aims to enhance regional collaboration in advancing climate action, addressing social inequalities and investing in sustainable and nature-positive development. Africa Climate Week (ACW) 2022 will focus on issues including resilience to climate risks, the transition to a low-carbon economy, and partnerships on pressing challenges. The event is an opportunity to help advance a just, managed and financed transition, to address social inequalities, and to enhance livelihoods. The aim is to unlock, channel and scale finance for energy, infrastructure and nature. The High-Level Champions and Marrakech Partnership?s lineup of events will cover areas including unlocking climate finance for trade and industrialization in Africa, gender considerations in climate investment, and advancing climate-smart, nature-positive and nutritious food systems in Africa. They will also hold an Implementation Lab on sustainable waste management and a robust transition to inclusive circular economies and climate-resilient communities across Africa, plus a Marrakech Partnership Regionalization Workshop with a particular focus on the Global Stocktake. Welcome to the UNFCCC, Simon Stiel The High-Level Champions extend a warm welcome to Simon Stiell, who was appointed this month to be the new Executive Secretary of the UN Climate Change secretariat. Simon Stiell joins from the government of Grenada, where he served as a senior minister between 2013 and June, including serving as Minister for Climate Resilience and the Environment for five years. The High-Level Champions look forward to working with him to advance the global climate action agenda and accelerate the Race to Zero and Race to Resilience campaigns.
