Nations agree milestone rulebook for Paris climate treaty

December 15, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

Delegates from nearly 200 states finalised a common rule book designed to deliver the Paris goals of limiting global temperature rises to well below two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) after marathon UN talks that failed to match the ambition the world's most vulnerable countries need to avert dangerous global warming. "Putting together the Paris agreement work programme is a big responsibility," said COP24 president Michal Kurtyka as he gavelled through the deal after talks in Poland that ran deep into overtime. "It has been a long road. We did our best to leave no one behind." But states already dealing with devastating floods, droughts and extreme weather made worse by climate change said the package agreed in the mining city of Katowice lacked the bold ambition to cut emissions the world needed. Egyptian ambassador Wael Aboulmagd, chair of the developing nations G77 plus China negotiating bloc, said the rule book saw the "urgent adaptation needs of developing countries … [Read more...] about Nations agree milestone rulebook for Paris climate treaty

UN climate negotiators sweat over detail and divides

December 9, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

The two weeks of talks, which began at the start of the week, are billed as the most important U.N. conference since the Paris 2015 agreement on climate change. The challenge is to meet a year-end deadline to agree a rule book to limit global warming, when the unity that underpinned the Paris talks has fragmented. U.S. President Donald Trump repeated his call to scrap the Paris climate pact. By the end of Saturday, negotiators aim to have a simplified a draft for high-level ministerial debate starting on Monday. "We still have a lot to do," Michal Kurtyka, the Polish president of the U.N. talks, told a news conference. "It is very technical, very complex, very difficult." Delegates said a major issue was how to reassure developing countries that richer nations would deliver on promises to help finance the cost of shifting to a lower carbon economy. Environmental campaigners are concerned the Katowice talks will lack ambition, after the United States said this year it was withdrawing … [Read more...] about UN climate negotiators sweat over detail and divides

Thousands march for climate in Paris despite “yellow vest” unrest

December 9, 2018 by vir Leave a Comment

Up to 25,000 people marched through Paris on Saturday (Dec 8) urging greater action on climate change, despite fears that their protest would be scuppered by "yellow vest" demonstrations. People hold a banner reading "the forest resists" as they take part in a march against climate change, in Paris, on Dec 8, 2018. (Photo: AFP/Jacques Demarthon) Police estimated the number of green activists heading onto the streets at 17,000 while organisers counted 25,000 urging world governments to better protect the environment. The numbers were similar to previous climate marches in Paris, despite sporadic violence in the city on Saturday among thousands of "yellow vest" demonstrators who want more help for France's poor. Organisers had to change the route of the climate march, marching instead from Place de la Nation to Place de la Republique, due to the yellow vest demonstrations, but refused a request by Interior Minister Christophe Castaner to postpone it. "It was unthinkable to … [Read more...] about Thousands march for climate in Paris despite “yellow vest” unrest

French police clash with ‘yellow vest’ protesters in Paris

December 8, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

By Reuters   &nbspDecember 8, 2018 | 09:46 pm GMT+7 French riot police fired tear gas and clashed with “yellow vest” protesters in central Paris on Saturday during the latest in a wave of demonstrations. French riot police fired tear gas and clashed with “yellow vest” protesters in central Paris on Saturday. This is the latest in a wave of demonstrations against the high cost of living that have shaken President Emmanuel Macron’s authority. Authorities said 575 people had been searched and briefly arrested and 361 people of them remained in custody after police found potential weapons such as hammers, baseball bats and metal petanque balls on them. Hundreds of protesters were milling around the Arc de Triomphe monument, which was defaced with anti-Macron graffiti last Saturday, when rioters also torched dozens of cars and looted shops in the worst rioting in Paris since May 1968. A police spokeswoman told reporters there were about 1,500 … [Read more...] about French police clash with ‘yellow vest’ protesters in Paris

‘Yellow vest’ protesters knock wind out of French business, economy

December 4, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

Speaking after a meeting with industry groups and business federations affected by the protest movement, Le Maire said sector revenues had been hit by between 15 and 50 percent. While not providing a precise breakdown, Le Maire said small retailers had seen a fall in revenue of between 20 and 40 percent, and the hotel industry was seeing reservations down 15 to 25 percent. Restaurants, depending on their location, had seen takings collapse by between 20 and 50 percent. "The impact is severe and ongoing," Le Maire said, emphasizing it was nationwide, although Paris, after riots and looting in some of its most upmarket districts on Saturday afternoon and evening, was particularly affected. The movement began on Nov. 17 as a social-media-planned protest against fuel-tax rises, but has since morphed into an anti-Macron uprising. The ministry was not able to say what sort of impact the unrest would have on gross domestic product, but having hoped for a pick-up in the fourth quarter on the … [Read more...] about ‘Yellow vest’ protesters knock wind out of French business, economy

Rapid, unprecedented change needed to halt global warming

Rapid, unprecedented change needed to halt global warming - U.N.The Saigon Times Daily People take part in protests ahead of the upcoming G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany July 2, 2017. Placard reads "Global Warming is NOT a Myth" – PHOTO: REUTERS LONDON/INCHEON (REUTERS) - Keeping the Earth’s temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius means making rapid, unprecedented changes in the way people use energy to eat, travel and live or we risk even more extreme weather and loss of species, a U.N. report said on Monday. Meeting 1.5C (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, rather than the 2C target agreed at global climate talks in Paris in 2015, would have “clear benefits to people and natural ecosystems,” the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said on Monday. Without real change, the world is not even on course to reach the 2C target, experts said. U.N.

Global climate protests peak in San Francisco

September 8, 2018 by vir Leave a Comment

A climate protest rolling across the world's time zones on Saturday (Sep 8) peaked in San Francisco, where thousands marched in a bid to shame political leader into stepping up action on global warming. Crowds march in San Francisco during the "Rise For Climate" global action on Sep 8, 2018. (Photo: AFP/Amy Osborne) In a festive, sun-soaked atmosphere, demonstrators from across the state and country set out from the city's Embarcadero Plaza beating drums and carrying handmade banners and posters. The dominant message was two-fold: speed up transition to a world powered by renewable energy rather than planet-warming fossil fuels, and protect the people most vulnerable to climate-addled weather, including droughts, heatwaves and superstorms. Several slogans were barbs from the heart of Blue America pointed at Washington. "Alternative Energy, not Alternative Facts," read one, while another - more blunt - said: "More Science, Less Bullshit."

US accused of blocking UN climate talks amid protests

September 8, 2018 by vir Leave a Comment

An environmental activist wearing a face mask depicting US President Donald Trump takes part in a Bangkok demonstration AFP/Lillian SUWANRUMPHA The United States, despite withdrawing from a landmark accord aimed at curbing climate change, is stonewalling vital UN talks over how to fund poorer nations as they battle against global warming, sources told AFP Saturday (Sep 8). US President Donald Trump caused global outrage by withdrawing from the Paris Accord last year but his country is still committed to the deal's roadmap, giving Washington leverage over the Bangkok conference. The issue of how funds are made available to developing nations has emerged as a key sticking point at the talks, which have made little headway since they opened on Tuesday. The Paris deal - hailed as a game-changer when struck in 2015 - promised US$100 billion annually from 2020 to poor nations already coping with floods, heatwaves and rising sea levels exacerbated by climate change. But it left room for … [Read more...] about US accused of blocking UN climate talks amid protests

Bangkok climate conference sounds alarm ahead of UN summit

September 4, 2018 by vir Leave a Comment

Time is running out to save the Paris Agreement, UN climate experts warned on Tuesday (Sep 4) at a key Bangkok meeting, as rich nations were accused of shirking their responsibility for environmental damage. The Paris Agreement has promised poor nations US$100 billion annually from 2020 to cope with the impacts of climate change. (Photo: AFP/Nicolas Asfouri) The six-day UN conference opened with an urgent plea from delegates to finalise a "rule book" governing the Paris Agreement, the most ambitious global pact yet, to address the impacts of climate change. The rule book will have guidelines for the treaty's 197 signatories on how to provide support to developing countries worst affected, and manage the impact of climate change. If nations cannot reach an agreement by a December summit in Poland - known as COP24 - the Paris Agreement, carved out in 2015, will be at risk. "The credibility of the process... is at stake," Michal Kurtyka, president designate of COP24, said at the … [Read more...] about Bangkok climate conference sounds alarm ahead of UN summit
