Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #UN
As COP31 gets underway, researchers warn that countries can obstruct climate negotiations without openly rejecting action – using funding disputes, weakened commitments and procedural tactics to delay progress.
The first report card on the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal framework was issued at this year’s UN Biodiversity Conference in Yerevan, and the marks were dismal. The problem is not a lack of targets, but a global financial system that pays to destroy nature and penalises those who protect it.
Last year’s UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, put forests high on the climate agenda. This month’s UN Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Turkey, can do the same for the ocean, whose warming threatens not just food and energy security but global survival.
By nature, the Nobel Peace Prize is controversial. This year is even more controversial as the most super power country blatantly condemned the Norwegian Nobel Committee for their selection.
