“The Africa Group would like to declare clear and loud that it will not let African soil be a graveyard for the Kyoto Protocol.”<\/p>\n

<\/a> COP17 was very much alive and buzzing yesterday, and the name that seems to be on everyone’s lips is Canada. Canada the infamous villain of these negotiations, is doing a good job of instilling confusion into the process for delegates here. Though its actions are not entirely unexpected, that doesn’t make it sting any less… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n

How many wake up calls do Governments need?<\/p>\n

<\/a> Workers around the world are deeply concerned at the loss of momentum on climate change. The usually conservative International Energy Agency says we are 5 years from a point of no return on CO2 emissions. Brazil’s chief negotiator, Luiz Alberto Figueiredo, has warned America and other industrialised countries that they could prompt the collapse of the Durban climate talks if they try to escape their commitments to a $100bn climate aid fund.  <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n

The future is about to be written: young people will have a say in what it will look like<\/p>\n

<\/a> During the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio a 12 year old Severn Suzuki stood on the stage to share her perspective and encourage her negotiators to think about the long-term impacts that their decisions would have on the environment and her future. The Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity were two of the significant outcomes of the UNCED and since then young people have been actively involved as participants in a range of multi-lateral environmental conferences… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The door is closing, but when will we be “locked-in”?<\/p>\n

<\/a> The energy sector accounts for the bulk of human induced green-house gas emissions, but the average lifetime of its infrastructure renders it difficult to implement the quick and deep abatements that would be required to put the world onto a 2 degrees trajectory. <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Quote of the day<\/p>\n

Do or do not. There is no try <\/p>\n

Daisy Streatfeild’s favourite quote from Yoda<\/p>\n

Outreach is a multi-stakeholder magazine which is published daily at COP17. The articles written are intended to reflect those of the authors alone or where indicated a coalition\u2019s opinion. An individual\u2019s article is the opinion of that author alone, and does not reflect the opinions of all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

What propted your early interest in the environment?<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

About ten years ago, I read a book called Dead Heat: Global Justice and Global Warming by Tom Athanasiou and Paul Baer. It\u2019s a short accessible summary of the science of climate change, and the scale of the challenge. I defy anyone to read it and not feel the urgent need to do something about climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
