Nick Breeze gives an eye opening account of what happened at each COP through Dubai, starting with the famous Paris Accord in 2015, and often crossing paths with the founder of this channel, the late Stuart Scott.
In the nearly 30 years that the UN’s Conferences of the Parties (COP) have come and gone, emissions have increased by 60%, CO2 levels in the atmosphere have sailed past the 350pp million safe limit to 421 ppm today, and 250 billion tons of greenhouse gasses have been released. As a result, global temperatures have continued to rise, crossing the 1.5 degree celsius safe boundary to an average of 1.64C for the entire year we just experienced.
As in Dubai, this year’s #COP in Azerbaijan, will be presided over by an oil and gas executive, Mukhtar Babayev, with promises to secure finances and an agreement to reduce emissions and increase renewable energy. No mention of the restoration of nature.
COPOUT: How Governments Have Failed the People on Climate - An Insider's View of Climate Change Conferences, from Paris to Dubai by #NickBreeze is available at bookstores and on kindle
