NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On the sidelines of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, the Government of Denmark announced today DKK45 million (approximately US$6.5 million) in additional funding to Education Cannot Wait (ECW) to scale-up access to quality educational opportunities for girls and boys living on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Key Points: 
  • New data published by ECW reveals that approximately 62 million crisis-impacted children and adolescents have been impacted by climate hazards over the past three years.
  • Recent floods in Pakistan and Libya wiped out tens of thousands of schools, pushed children from their homes, and disrupted access to continuous education.
  • Unfortunately, we see that climate change has devastating consequences for children's access to education, especially in countries that are already poor and vulnerable.
  • That is why we urgently have to counter the threat of climate change to children's education and ensure that they get an education that strengthens their resilience," said Jørgensen.

26 years ago, Howard chose fossil fuels over the Pacific. What will Albanese choose?

There, he will aim to strengthen relations with Pacific countries and reaffirm Australia’s place as a security partner of choice.

Key Points: 
  • There, he will aim to strengthen relations with Pacific countries and reaffirm Australia’s place as a security partner of choice.
  • They will ask Albanese to support a regional declaration for a phaseout of fossil fuels.
  • Or we could see a better outcome, if Albanese signals Australia is at last ready to move away from fossil fuels.

A split in Aitutaki

  • In fact, they called for industrialised countries to immediately cut greenhouse gas emissions in a joint statement in 1990.
  • Pacific island nations suggested Australia’s national target – to cut emissions by 20% by 2005 – should be binding for all developed countries.
  • Discussions in Aitutaki turned bitter and ran into overtime in the airport lounge.
  • At the Kyoto negotiations, Australia sought and won its own clause, allowing it to actually increase emissions, and expand its fossil fuel industries.
  • For his part, Howard dismissed concerns that climate change and sea-level rise could threaten island states as “exaggerated” and “apocalyptic”.

Could we see Australia repair the rift?

  • At last year’s forum, he joined island leaders to declare a Pacific climate emergency.
  • Australia is bidding to host the UN climate talks in 2026 in partnership with Pacific island countries, a move island leaders have formally welcomed.
  • Pacific countries are also campaigning for a global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty which would oversee the end of fossil fuel expansion.
  • Support to tackle rising climate adaptation costs will be welcomed, but it won’t be enough for Pacific leaders.
  • What they want to see is their regionally powerful neighbour actually stop adding fuel to the fire.

No stopping the global energy transition

  • We need to be working on a just transition for workers and building up new industries.
  • The International Energy Agency last week released its annual World Energy Outlook, which found global deployment of renewable energy technologies is rapidly overtaking fossil fuel projects, and demand for fossil fuels is likely to peak before 2030.
  • Gas and coal aren’t the only valuable things underneath Australian dirt – we’ve got a wealth of critical minerals vital to the clean energy transition.
  • Governments have no choice but to plan for the inevitable decline of fossil fuels and smooth the transition to clean energy industries such as battery manufacturing and green hydrogen and ammonia.

The acclaimed 1990 film Awakenings tells the story of a neurologist who discovers a drug which rouses catatonic patients from decades of “sleep”.

Key Points: 
  • The acclaimed 1990 film Awakenings tells the story of a neurologist who discovers a drug which rouses catatonic patients from decades of “sleep”.
  • I had been there when the UK miraculously built a cross-party consensus around climate change.
  • I’d had what you might call a front row seat as a political consensus on climate change emerged in the UK.
  • But during the long and uncomfortable 25 minutes of Sunak’s speech, I felt I was witnessing a homage to catatonia.

Delay is costly

    • Delay is tantamount to capitulation.
    • A key economic principle follows from this: the sooner you act, the lower the final bill.
    • Those costs are already being counted: fires in Europe and Canada, droughts in North America and Africa, floods in Libya.
    • It’s no surprise to find an embattled political party trying to draw clear blue water between itself and the opposition.
    • Not content with betraying the interests of the future, Sunak’s speech has helped turn climate change into a sordid culture war.
    • Every Wednesday, The Conversation’s environment editor writes Imagine, a short email that goes a little deeper into just one climate issue.
