Both ENDS
Both ENDS is goed vertegenwoordigd tijdens de Climate Change Conference die eind 2015 in Parijs plaatsvindt. We organiseren, en co-organiseren een aantal workshops en side events. Hier een overzicht van deze events:
Zes van de negen planetaire grenzen zijn reeds overschreden (Stockholm Resilience Centre) en het Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stelt dat de temperatuur op aarde de grens van 1,5 graden boven het pre-industriële niveau tussen nu en 2027 zal overschrijden. Tijdens COP28 zullen we voor het eerst de wereldwijde balans opmaken. Er zal dan worden beoordeeld hoe ver we zijn met het behalen van de klimaatdoelen van Parijs.
Samen met maatschappelijke organisaties van over de hele wereld werkt de FGG Alliantie aan sociaal rechtvaardige, inclusieve en ecologisch duurzame samenlevingen in Nederland en het Zuiden.
The Green Climate Fund aims to support transformational pathways to climate-resilient development, intends to reach those most vulnerable, and commits to a gender-sensitive approach. This session presents an important way of putting these commitments into practice: by engaging small grants funds. These funds can provide the much needed channel between large international institutions and local communities adapting to climate change, and assure financing reaches women and men to contribute to transformative climate action. But how to make this shift in how financing is delivered? The audience will be actively engaged in the discussion to come to concrete suggestions to strengthen local access and gender responsiveness of climate finance.
Globally, the area that is suffering desertification and land degradation is ever expanding. Unsustainable and often large-scale agricultural practices, including the copious use of pesticides and fertilizers, are a major driver of land degradation, aprocess that is further exacerbated by climate change, causing more erratic rainfall patterns, longer periods of drought and unpredictable growing seasons. This is very problematic not only for the hundreds of millions of people who directly depend on land and water for their livelihoods, but also for life on earth as a whole. It is clear that this process must be stopped and reversed, better sooner than later. But how to go about it?
