Geoingeniería y “cero-neto” en la COP26

En la COP26 se promueven riesgosos esquemas de geoingeniería

En resumen:

1. En la COP 26 de la Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) se están promoviendo arriesgados planes de geoingeniería para justificar el problemático concepto de “cero neto”, que distraerá de realizar los cambios necesarios para llegar realmente a cero emisiones contaminantes.

2. Las técnicas de geoingeniería, en gran medida inexistentes, se basan en teorías científicas sesgadas, que proporcionan a la industria de los combustibles fósiles una coartada más para seguir extrayendo y contaminando.

3. Contrarrestar las narrativas de gobiernos y corporaciones que promueven “cero emisiones netas” y geoingeniería, es una tarea vital en la COP26. No podemos perder el poco tiempo que tenemos para cambiar realmente el curso del caos climático.

Find out what geoengineering is, why it's so dangerous, and why the idea of these largely non-existent technologies is being used as an alibi for the fossil fuel industry to continue extracting and polluting.

As big oil states plan to promote energy-hungry agtech as a ’climate solution’ at COP26, it’s time to question their AIM

The USA and the United Arab Emirates both have vested interests in finding ways to justify continuing to extract and sell their vast supplies of oil. It is perhaps not coincidental then, that these two countries are planning a high-profile launch for what is likely to become a controversial climate and agtech initiative, “Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM4C)”, at UNFCCC’s COP26 in Glasgow in November.

Why not listen to the first episode of our new “Spanner in the System” podcast mini-series during your lunch break today? As we mark World Food Day (16 October), it’s a good time to pause and reflect on our food and where it comes from. Our first podcast, in our new mini-series on disruptive tech, produced in the Asia-Pacific region, does just that!

Fancy a technofix mess for dinner?

Why we boycotted the UN Food Systems Summit

In solidarity with all the peasant farmers, small-scale food producers, Indigenous Peoples, NGOs, agricultural workers, family farmers and researchers who boycotted the Food System Summit we blacked out our website for the duration of the Food System Summit (FSS).

The rejection of the Food System Summit (FSS) by so many people, activists, organisations and movements around the world shows that the defence of food sovereignty remains strong.

Porqué oponerse a la Cumbre sobre los Sistemas Alimentarios

Nuestro documento Secuestro corporativo de los sistemas alimentarios – Porqué oponerse a la Cumbre sobre los Sistemas Alimentarios, analiza cómo la Cumbre prevista para el otoño de 2021, no trata de resolver los problemas de la alimentación mundial, sino de hilar una historia que apuntale y amplíe la cadena alimentaria industrial a expensas de otros sistemas alimentarios.
