📣CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS📣 Research on People-led Climate Actions and Solutions Against the backdrop of an intensifying climate crisis that affects the most marginalised and the proliferation of market-based climate ‘solutions,’ peoples and communities in the Global South are increasingly taking matters into their own hands. In fact, collective actions from grassroots sectors are at the forefront of forging real solutions to the climate crisis. To this end, IBON International invites Southern civil society organisations to participate in this research project on people-led actions and solutions to the climate crisis. Read the concept note to learn more about the project and the guidelines for submission here: https://lnkd.in/gmNhwVh5 The deadline for submissions is May 22, 2024, at 23:59 (Philippine Time). #ClimateJustice #PeoplesClimateAction

Paper we wrote arguing that there is an emerging governmentality of climate change loss and damage globally. We find, among other things, that root causes of loss and damage are being obscured, Western knowledge and technocratic interventions are centred, and there are colonial presupposed subjectivities of Global South victims of climate change, which are being contested by people bearing the brunt of the climate crisis. We propose future directions for critical research on climate change loss and damage.

🌍 Delighted to share my recent article in the UN Chronicle spotlighting the vital work of the United Nations OCHA managed CERF Climate Action Account in helping vulnerable communities around the world. I explain the pressing challenges of climate change and how initiatives like this provide immediate relief and support long-term resilience. It's inspiring to see the action already underway to address these issues. Read more about the impact of the CERF Climate Action Account and join me in advocating for climate resilience and emergency response ➡ bit.ly/3TiTl4M #InvestInHumanity #AnticipatoryAction

Keeping 1.5 alive… Selwin Hart Special Adviser to the United Nations on Climate Action and the Just Transition provides a calm, measured and frank call to action “We need to get serious - move from exploring to implementing.” Too many circular conversations are ongoing and we are clearly not moving fast enough on the #climatecrisis but he does still believe we have the ability to overcome the climate crisis. Great energy this hot morning at the London Climate Action Week E3G State of Climate Politics Forum - examining how climate issues are shaping and being impacted by broader international and national politics. #LCAW #ClimateInnovation #ClimateChange #climateaction #justtransition

THE TOTALITARIANISM OF CLIMATE ALARMISM by Paul Mueller Article excerpt: "But there is a dark side to climate alarmism: It is fundamentally totalitarian — not just inefficient, wasteful, misguided, or myopic. The climate 'emergency' opens the door for total tyranny. There is no part of life, no freedom, no right, no value or good that cannot be subjected for the sake of ameliorating the climate emergency. We can see practical examples of this totalitarianism in Europe and in California."

Canadians are starting to connect the dots between environmental concern and climate action. However, there’s confusion and skepticism about the available solutions for climate action and support for specific climate policies is low. This 2024 report by Re.Climate summarizes over 90 private and public surveys on Canadian public opinion on climate change and energy. These findings support the ongoing need for climate action and the important work BizforClimate is doing to encourage companies and business leaders to speak up in support of climate action and to drive systemic change.

📣🌍 How we handle losses and damages is a key climate justice concern! Yesterday, we discussed this and more at the CGIAR Climate Webinar Series #2 – Loss and Damage: Understanding its Past, Present, and Future. “Those most affected by climate change have done the least to cause the problem and have done the least to capacity to cope. Meanwhile, wealthy polluting countries have the most historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis and have the most capacity to take action and provide finance. This is the fundamental injustice of climate change.” - Teresa Anderson, Global Lead on Climate Justice at ActionAid International, shares her expertise on the devastating realities communities face due to climate-related loss and damage and how we can approach tackling these issues.

Climate Obstruction Across Europe 2024 | 22-24 may | Conference Promo The effort to address climate change has been inadequate, in spite of decades of work and growing certainty on the science, technology, and policy solutions. A key reason is the lack of understanding of organizations obstructing climate action. This year’s CSSN conference features eleven national studies of climate obstruction across Europe and a study of influence in Brussels, as we launch the first comprehensive volume of climate obstruction in the region. Authors from the book’s chapters will boil down their core findings, revealing actors and the strategies and discourses they use delay and block action in Europe. https://lnkd.in/eAfc9fpc
