Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28:
โIt is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to.
It is not good enough to note with โalarm and serious concernโ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends.
It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.
It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai.
Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.โ
Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders

Indigenizing Arctic Research at the #ArcticCircle#Assembly2023
Creating spaces where Arctic Indigenous Peoples define the terms of research is paramount. Establishing a real, respectful balance between Western science and Indigenous knowledge systems in Arctic research ๐ก
The newest scientific data shows that a big and very dangerous eruption is becoming more likely. The people of #Grindavik and the entire rescue and monitoring teams are demonstrating admirable calm and courage.
