dangerous
It is pointed out that they lack a serious police mechanism, and the accountability issue raises a question mark on the usefulness of the aforementioned agreement.
All the proposed solutions will not deviate from the path of “green capitalism”. For those outsiders who talk about “stop ecological extinction” and “braburabra”, this is unacceptable. A comprehensive reform of the system is the only viable solution. In the end, almost everyone agrees with the abyss we face.
Judging from the foggy vantage point of COP26, the intrinsic value of this climate festival does not seem to lie in its results, but in its stage for global sound.
Without COP26, the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley (Mia Mottley) would not have the opportunity to condemn to the world how the developing countries got there.”Identify gaps and pledges to mitigate climate change.
“If there is no more, we will make the world go on the path of 2.7 degrees. If there are more, we still have the possibility to get 2 degrees. These promises are made by some undeveloped technologies. These are reckless and reckless at best. .In the worst case, the danger.”
Influence
She couldn’t look into the eyes of world leaders and smiled bitterly and warned.”Failure to provide sufficient critical funding to small island nations is measured by the lives and livelihoods of our communities. This is immoral and unfair. “
If it weren’t for COP26, the name of the assassinated Colombian environmentalist Juana Perea, for example, when indigenous Colombian activists condemned their country as the most dangerous country, George Square would not sound.
The condemnation of ReconAfrica’s oil and gas exploration in the upper reaches of the Okavango Delta, Africa’s last oasis, will not appear in the “horror (drilling/killer)” performance at Mandela Square in central Glasgow.
Maybe the real drama is these voices, inside and out, not talking to each other, not even in the same room. However, they did share a city and a world, even for a moment.
The enthusiasm for meeting someone in Glasgow today is far greater than it is now. As the second week began, former US President Barack Obama recognized the unique “The power you have“, manifested in the ability to influence people around.
victory
Among the many interesting conversations that took place in the corridors, pavilions, or bars, one resonated; humanity’s “sacred” gift puts it with other animals, and its ability to make fires and burn as a result has become its curse.
Prometheus, well-known in Greek mythology, stole fire and knowledge for mankind from the gods. As punishment, Zeus, the king of the gods, sentenced him to be eaten by Zeus’s eagle during the day with his liver.
Just like Prometheus’s rebirth night, the CoP26 climate event also took place. In the next few weeks and months, only the wrath of nature will be faced.
Of course, unless we have another talent of a tragic hero, knowledge, coupled with reason and the ability to act on it, we will extinguish the flames and smoke produced by over-burning.
If fire can be our curse, then knowledge is our salvation. There is a gap between people inside the COP and those outside the COP. Neither party listens, trusts or understands the other: What if the unique victory of COP26 lies in listening to each other and empowering through knowledge sharing and collective gathering?
fire
Scottish beloved son and farmer poet Robert Burns wrote to us wisely from a very different world, a world without hyper-connection:
Gie me ae spark o’Nature’s fire,
That’s the study I long for
May these words be a gift from Scotland to our global leaders, COP26 internal and external leaders.
