Plus: join us tonight for climate migration event
Global Edition - Today's top story: UN's 'global stocktake'
on climate is offering a sober emissions reckoning − but there are also
signs of progress View in browser
Global Edition | 13 November 2023
Later this month, negotiators, politicians and researchers
will gather for the annual effort to slow the planet’s slide into an even
deeper climate crisis. COP28, the UN Climate Change Conference for 2023,
runs from November 30 until December 12. As always, we will have extensive
coverage. Indeed, as you can see below, and this link our rich stream of
content on this critical subject never really stops.
But an additional dimension this year will come from our
new colleagues at The Conversation Brazil. Given the importance of the
Amazon to the Earth’s climate, researchers in South America’s largest nation
are at the forefront of the struggle to contain global heating. And with the
launch of our Brazilian edition we are now in a position to bring more of
their work to you, our international readers, in multiple languages. Watch
this space for a series of translations on the latest from the Amazon in
coming weeks.
Another key region facing rapid and fundamental change as
a result of the crisis is the South Pacific. The pressing nature of the
situation has been made clear by an Australian move to offer a specific
climate migration scheme to the residents of Tuvalu. Indeed, this issue of
climate migration and environmental displacement will be the subject of a
special event in London tonight, brought to you by The Conversation, in
partnership with the academic publisher Sage and the Campaign for Social
Science. Tickets (there is no charge) are still available if you fancy
joining us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion.

With many countries planning fossil fuel production
increases and continuing subsidies, negotiators have their work cut out for
them when the COP28 climate summit begins.
a.. Australia’s offer of climate migration to
Tuvalu residents is groundbreaking – and could be a lifeline across the
Pacific
Jane McAdam, UNSW Sydney
Historically, most Pacific visa programs in
Australia have been tied to labour mobility. And none has specifically
referenced climate change as a driving rationale.
b.. COP28: a year on from climate change funding
breakthrough, poor countries eye disappointment at Dubai summit
Lisa Vanhala, UCL
Rich polluters have evaded any notion of
compensating poor countries at the UN talks.
Barbra Streisand’s autobiography My Name is Barbra shows
how she redefined the diva
Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, University of Sheffield
Streisand has consistently defied instructions not to do
something by doubling up her efforts.
Kora: in search of the origins of west Africa’s famed
stringed musical instrument

The extraordinary documentary Ballaké Sissoko: Kora Tales

a.. Israel-Hamas conflict: what Gaza might look
like ‘the day after’ the war
Rob Geist Pinfold, Durham University
Israel has bitter experience of trying to control
Gaza. Now it must decide how to manage the territory in the future.
b.. Erdogan’s stance on Israel reflects desire to
mix politics with realpolitik – and still remain a relevant regional player
Ozgur Ozkan, Tufts University
Turkey and Israel exchanged tit-for-tat diplomatic
withdrawals over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s pro-Hamas stance in the
regional conflict. But behind that, the picture is more nuanced.
c.. All the Light We Cannot See: how progressive
congenital cataracts can lead to blindness
Jay E. Self, University of Southampton
Cataracts aren’t just something people develop in
older age. Some people are born with them.
d.. Abortion rights victories show this issue is
unlikely to fade in 2024 elections − 3 things to know
Nicole Huberfeld, Boston University; Linda C.
McClain, Boston University
The new constitutional amendment to protect the
right to abortion in Ohio − as well as other wins for Democrats − shows the
importance of ballot initiatives and focusing on abortion in elections.
e.. Is some of the body that collided with Earth
to form the Moon still recognisable inside our planet?
David Rothery, The Open University
The Moon was formed when it collided with Earth
billions of years ago.
f.. English football is ready for a rule change
when it comes to financial management
Christina Philippou, University of Portsmouth

move.
