PLACING faith in net-zero targets and attempting to offset future carbon emissions with “business as usual” would condemn the world to catastrophe, a coalition of green and human rights groups warned today.
Representatives from the groups told the Cop26 summit that greenwashing and “delayism” is the new climate change denial, a brake on the movement for action in recent decades.
Speaking in Glasgow today, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, ActionAid and Global Witness, alongside indigenous representatives, called for governments to set “real” zero-carbon emission targets.
From summit to summit, imperialist companies and governments cut, delay or water down their commitments, warn the Communist Parties of Britain, France, Portugal and Spain and the Workers Party of Belgium in a joint statement on Cop30
Reaching co-operation is supposed to be the beginning, not the end, of global climate governance, argues LISA VANHALA
