• quote

  • Whatever one thinks of Sultan Al Jaber, one statement he’s made repeatedly makes perfect sense: “We cannot unplug the world from the current energy system before we build a new energy system.”
  • The focus, then, has to shift.
    • Instead of focusing on dismantling the incumbent system,
    • we need to focus on accelerating the deployment of the new system that will replace it

• key point

  • we must focus on the energy shift instead of just the phase out or down of the old energy system

Roger Hardy erklärt in diesem Artikel über die von ihm in Großbritannien gegründete Organisation Round our Way, dass Arbeiterklassen-Communities von der globalen Erhitzung und ihren Folgen besonders stark betroffen sind und das auch wissen. Nur eine Klimabewegung für "ordinary people" könne das Fundament für einen gesellschaftlichen Konsens über Klimaschutz herstellen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/commentisfree/2023/nov/21/working-class-people-climate-crisis-policy

• summary
  • Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP) are happening in South Africa and also Indonesia, Vietnam, Senegal and possibly India.
  • Will these actually happen? Will they be enough to avoid the highest risk of planetary tipping points?

• for: 1.5 Deg target, JETP, JETP ambitions
• comment
  • the JETPs do not go far enough. This is dangerous as it still allows significant amounts of fossil fuel emissions that will breach 1.5 Deg C and increase chances of breaching severe planetary tipping points

• for: Just transition, Just Energy Transition, Just Energy Transition partnerships, JETP

• Question

  • How does JETP fit into the global transition in terms of:

    • speed
    • climate justice
    • decolonialism

  • Is net zero enough?
