Gutes neues Jahr. In Zeiten globaler Konflikte bleibt klar: Frieden braucht weniger Abhängigkeiten – und eine konsequente Energiewende.

Kai Ambos: "Es reicht nicht, das Völkerrecht nur zu beschwören"
Der Völkerrechtsexperte Kai Ambos sieht im Vorgehen der USA eine Verletzung der UN-Charta. Die Nachkriegsordnung sei in Gefahr, Europa drohe zerrieben zu werden.

Die COP30 endet ohne Ausstiegsplan für Kohle, Öl und Gas.
Ein enttäuschendes Ergebnis – gerade aus EU-Sicht. Eine kleine fossile Blockadefront hat erneut verhindert, was wissenschaftlich notwendig und wirtschaftlich vernünftig wäre.

We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar.
‘US-Kremlin plan’ shames the US and makes it sound deeply unappealing to the broader US and European publics.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Just a reminder to Antonio Guterres: "Consensus" does not mean "unanimity". A meaningful agreement will not result from #COP30 as long as a handful of bad petrostate actors can blog any real progress. Adopt a reasonable (66% or 75%) standard for reaching "consensus".
