With the IPCC’s 6th Assessment report being published, I sat down with Aaron Weintraub for @KurdistanIN_en’s Inside Kurdistan Podcast to discuss the climate crisis and it’s impact on our region from an intersectional approach.

It’s reiterated throughout the #IPCCReport that there needs to be an end to all new fossil fuel plants with an urgent call for a just transition into clean/renewable energy!

Reflecting on week 1 of #COP26 I noticed the most important thing to world leaders and their delegations, was not the urgent need to decarbonize the planet, but the preservation of status, wealth and power. No one has been willing to sacrifice anything, except future generations.
#COP26: The new draft final decision text published today is not a plan to solve the climate crisis, it’s an agreement that we’ll all cross our fingers and hope for the best. It’s a polite request that countries maybe, possibly, do more next year. That’s not good enough.

There’s been no mention of reducing fossil fuels at #COP26
There’s so much potential for #ClimateAction right now in Glasgow! The world's most influential people all in one place but what we get instead is +500 fossil fuel lobbyists, larger than any single official delegation⚠️
Empty promises on climate have failed us. With our future on the line, we don’t need vague 2050 pledges.
We need world leaders gathering for #COP26 to take REAL action to cut emissions fast and invest in climate justice!
