Frankreichs dritter nationaler Plan zur Klimaanpassung enthält 51 Maßnahmen. Sie gehen von 4° Erhitzung bis 2100 aus - in Frankreich die Vorgabe für alle offiziellen Dokumente zur „ökologischen Planung“. Viele Fachleute halten diese Einschätzung für zu optimistisch. Die meisten der Massnahmen sind wenig konkret und nicht mit einer Finanzierung unterlegt. Die besondere Vulnerabilität bestimmter Gruppen wird nicht berücksichtigt https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/changement-climatique-un-nouveau-plan-national-dadaptation-au-regime-sec-20241025_E5E4GSMOBJEPVGEU3EGXEJBZRY/

quote / critique - The price we pay for this salutary change is, no doubt, great - Andrew Carnegie - Carnegie goes on to write that the great freedoms offered by industrial mass production has an unavoidable price to be paid - Successful manufacturing and production cooperatives, B-Corporations, worker-owned companies, etc have disproved that it is an either-or situation. - Consider the case of the Spanish manufacturing giant, Mondragon, a federation of worker cooperatives employing 70,000 people located in Spain - where this price is NOT paid - Carnegie's essay reflects a perspective based on the time when he was alive - Were Carnegie alive today to witness the natural conclusion of his trend of progress in the Anthropocene, he would witness - extreme pollution levels of industrial mass production threatening to destabilize human civilization itself - astronomical wealth inequality - And these two are linked: - wealth inequality - a handful of elites have the same wealth as the bottom half of humanity - carbon inequality - that same handful pollutes as much as the bottom half of humanity

Ein neuer Bericht von Oxfam analysiert die unzureichenden Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen in Frankreich und insbesondere deren soziale Aspekte. Der Bericht kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass mehr als die Hälfte der rechtlich fixierten Menschenrechte durch mangelnde Vorbereitung und Unterfinanzierung bedroht ist.

paper - title: Carbon Consumption Patterns of Emerging Middle Class - year: 2020 - authors: Never et al.

summary - This is an important paper that shows the pathological and powerful impact of the consumer story to produce a continuous stream of consumers demanding a high carbon lifestyle - By defining success in terms of having more stuff and more luxurious stuff, it sets the class transition up for higher carbon consumption - The story is socially conditioned into every class, ensuring a constant stream of high carbon emitters. - It provides the motivation to - escape poverty into the lower middle class - escape the lower middle class into the middle class - escape the middle class into the middle-upper class - escape the middle-upper class into the upper class - With each transition, average carbon emissions rise - Unless we change this fundamental story that measures success by higher and higher levels of material consumption, along with their respectively higher carbon footprint, we will not be able to stay within planetary boundaries in any adequate measure - The famous Oxfam graphs that show that - 10% of the wealthiest citizens are responsible for 50% of all emissions - 1% of the wealthiest citizens are responsible for 16% of all emissions, equivalent to the bottom 66% of emissions - but it does not point out that the consumer story will continue to create this stratification distribution

Der britische Premierminister Sunak hat angekündigt, die Öl- und Gasvorkommen in der Nordsee maximal auszunutzen und über 100 neue Bohrlizenzen zu vergeben. Er machte deutlich, dass er die Ausbeutung des Rosebank Fields genehmigen wird, mit 500 Millionen Barrel das größte nicht erschlossene Ölfeld Großbritanniens. Die Ankündigung stieß auf heftige Proteste auch konservativer Abgeordneter. Die Behauptung, im Dienst der Energiesicherheit zu handeln, gilt als Ablenkung. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/dismay-as-rishi-sunak-vows-to-max-out-uk-fossil-fuel-reserves

Oxfam legt die bisher umfangreichste Studie zur weltweiten Klima-Ungleichheit vor. Sie wurde gemeinsam mit dem Guardian und dem Stockholm Institut erstellt. Sie ergibt unter anderem, dass das reichste Prozent der Weltbevölkerung für mehr Emissionen verantwortlich ist als die unteren 66%. Analysiert wird auch die Verbindung von wirtschaftlicher und politischer Macht der globalen Eliten und die Möglichkeit, eine just transition durch Besteuerung der Superreichen zu finanzieren https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/richest-1-account-for-more-carbon-emissions-than-poorest-66-report-says

Laut Oxfam haben die reichen Länder 2020 nur 21-24,5 Milliarden Dollar tatsächliche Klimahilfen an den globalen Süden bezahlt. Ausgehend von ihrem Climate Finance Shadow Report 2023 kritisiert die NGO die Behauptung, es seien 2022 erstmals die vereinbarten 100 Milliarden zur Verfügung gestelt worden. https://taz.de/Faule-Klima-Entschaedigungen/!5973353/

NGOs und Expert:innen kämpfen dafür, die Rechte von Kindern und Jugendlichen, Klimaprozesse gegen Firmen und Staaten anzustrengen, auszubauen. Junge Menschen sind von der Klimakatastrophe besonders betroffen, haben aber nur selten die Möglichkeit, ihre Interessen in Prozessen zu vertreten. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/26/stop-locking-young-people-out-of-legal-process-in-climate-cases-say-experts

Auf einer Geberkonferenz in Bonn haben die Industrieländer über 4 Jahre insgesamt 9,4 Milliarden Dollar für den grünen Klimafonds zugesagt. Die Summe ist geringer als die für den Vierjahreszeitraum davor. https://taz.de/Klimaschutz-im-globalen-Sueden/!5960545/

93% der Länder, die am verwundbarsten durch die Klimakrise sind, sind bereits überschuldet oder stehen kurz davor. Trotzdem sind bisher Kredite das Hauptinstrument der Klimafinanzierung. Damit verschärft sich die Schuldenkrise vor allem vieler afrikanischer Staaten. Sie ist eines der Hauptthemen des Pariser Klimafinanz-Gipfels.

Ein Zusammenschluss französischer Umweltorganisationen hat eine Verwaltungsstrafe von über einer Milliarde Euro beantragt, um den französischen Staat dazu zu zwingen, die Treibhausgasemissionen in Frankreich wirksam zu reduzieren. Bei einem früheren Verfahren wegen mangelnder Sorgfaltspflicht des Staates hatte ein Verwaltungsgericht eine Grenze von 15 Millionen Tonnen CO₂-Äquivalenten festgelegt. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/les-ong-relancent-laffaire-du-siecle-et-demandent-1-milliard-deuros-dastreinte-a-letat-20230614_FXULO3ROR5HMXEKRMKKJNAJIOM/topic

Jean Pisani-Ferry, früher eine der wichtigsten Wirtschaftsberater des französischen Präsidenten Macron, hat beziffert, was die Dekarbonisierung Frankreichs entsprechend den Regierungsvorgaben kosten würden Punkt danach sind pro Jahr zusätzliche 66 Milliarden Euro an privaten und öffentlichen Investitionen notwendig. Ob die Regierung, in der die Wirtschafsliberalen inzwischen noch stärker sind, auf die Vorsc.hläge Ferrys eingeht, ist noch unklar. Regierungsvertreter widersprechen vor allem dem Vorschlag einer neuen Vermögenssteuer deutlich. https://www.liberation.fr/politique/financement-de-la-transition-ecologique-lexecutif-fait-la-sourde-oseille-20230604_RA5ABPVWN5C6HEOPPBQF3YF6KA/

IPCC AR6 WGIII chapter 5 points out the major role that decarbonizing the rich can have on meeting our 1.5 Deg C target: https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Freport.ipcc.ch%2Far6wg3%2Fpdf%2FIPCC_AR6_WGIII_FinalDraft_Chapter05.pdf&group=world

And the wealth inequality = carbon inequality: As per Oxfam https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oxfam.org%2Fen%2Fpress-releases%2Fcarbon-emissions-richest-1-percent-more-double-emissions-poorest-half-humanity&group=world As per IPCC https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Freport.ipcc.ch%2Far6wg3%2Fpdf%2FIPCC_AR6_WGIII_FinalDraft_Chapter05.pdf&group=world

Oxfam reports that the carbon footprints of the richest 1 percent of people on Earth is set to be 30 times greater than the level compatible with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement in 2030. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-richest-1-set-be-30-times-15degc-limit-2030

The richest one percent of the world’s population are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution as the 3.1 billion people who made up the poorest half of humanity during a critical 25-year period of unprecedented emissions growth. The richest 10 percent accounted for over half (52 percent) of the emissions added to the atmosphere between 1990 and 2015. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-richest-1-percent-more-double-emissions-poorest-half-humanity

Stop Reset Go needs to implement a STOP the STEAL! campaign against the elites and luxury producers and also a WEALTH to WELLth program to transition high carbon consumption lifestyle to a low one that helps the wealthy funnel their wealth into climate justice and become carbon heros instead of carbon villains.

Even more recent research adds to this:

This suggests that perhaps the failure of the COP meetings may be partially due to focusing at the wrong level and demographics. the top 1 and 10 % live in every country. A focus on the wealthy class is not a focus area of COP negotiations perse. The COP meetings are focused on nation states. Interventions targeting this demographic may be better suited at the scale of individuals or civil society.

Many studies show there are no extra gains in happiness beyond a certain point of material wealth, and point to the harmful impacts of wealth accumulation, known as affluenza, and show many health effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1950124/, https://theswaddle.com/how-money-affects-rich-people/, https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-dark-reasons-so-many-rich-people-are-miserable-human-beings-2018-02-22, https://www.nbcnews.com/better/pop-culture/why-wealthy-people-may-be-less-successful-love-ncna837306, https://www.apa.org/research/action/speaking-of-psychology/affluence,

A Human Inner Transformation approach based on an open source praxis called Deep Humanity is one example of helping to transform affluenza and leveraging it to accelerate transition.

Anderson has contextualized the scale of such an impact in his other presentations but not here. A recent example is the temporary emission decreases due to covid 19. A 6.6% global decrease was determined from this study: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00090-3#:~:text=After%20rising%20steadily%20for%20decades,on%20daily%20fossil%20fuel%20emissions. with the US contributing 13% due to lockdown impacts on vehicular travel (both air and ground). After the pandemic ends, experts expect a strong rebound effect.

The bottom-up nature of this cluster makes it the focus area for civil society movements, human inner transformation (HIT) approaches and cultural methodologies.

Changing the mindset or paradigm from which the system arises is the most powerful place to intervene in a system as Donella Meadows pointed out decades ago in her research on system leverage points: https://donellameadows.org/archives/leverage-points-places-to-intervene-in-a-system/

The sleeping giant of billions of potential change actors remains dormant. How do we awaken them and mobilize them. If we can do this, it can constitute the emergence of a third unidentified actor in system change.

The Stop Reset Go (SRG) initiative is focused on this thematic lens, bottom-up, rapid whole system change, with Deep Humanity (DH) as the open-source praxis to address the needed shift in worldview advocated by Meadows. One of the Deep Humanity programs is based on addressing the psychological deficits of the wealthy, and transforming them into heroes for the transition, by redirecting their WEALTH-to-WELLth.

There are a number of strategic demographics that can be targeted in methodical evidence-based ways. Each of these is a leverage point and can bring about social tipping points.

A number of 2021 reports characterize the outsized impact of the top 1% and top 10% of humanity. Unless their luxury, high ecological footprint behavior is reeled in, humanity won't stand a chance.
