’Undermining that confidence by dismissing UN climate conferences as pointless risks slowing this progress. Cop critics like to think of themselves as brave tellers of truth to power. They may end up merely being Donald Trump’s unwitting accomplices.’

The UN climate summits are working – just not in the way their critics think
Many say UN climate summits are pointless. They’re wrong.

The Swedish King stepping in it today in Brazil by suggesting that the multilateral climate change process is likely to fail and that Europe does not have any responsibility to pay for climate change impacts on the Global South. He is wrong and should be prevented from making such statements.

Länderna kommer inte kunna enas under Cop 30. Och borde Europa verkligen betala så mycket för att nå klimatmålen?

We need to be worried about this. 1st some countries (Saudi Arabia) refused to welcome the 1.5 report, now they (and others) are flat out refusing to set a date for when the AR7 can be approved.
