Ukraine has seen success in building clean energy, which is harder for Russia to destroy | AP News

Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring are a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.

Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.

“That’s the difference between centralized and so-called decentralized generation. It’s much more resistant and difficult to destroy,” said Timchenko.

Zambia Weighs $900 Million Coal-Power Plan as Drought Hits Hydro - Bloomberg

Zambia is considering plans by a Chinese-owned company to build a $900 million coal-fired power plant, as it battles unprecedented electricity shortages caused by a record drought.

The worst regional dry spell in more than a century has stricken hydro-electricity generation that accounts for 85% of Zambia’s supply, with households and businesses enduring outages lasting more than a day at a time. Copper producers including First Quantum Minerals Ltd. have had to import costly power to maintain output levels.

SCHWEPZ: Jako mít očekávání od COP je stejně zbytečnost, ve výsledku je to jak sledovat nějaký gossip mezi celebritami, jen v podání toho či onoho politika a ropného magnáta, a s tím rozdílem, že se to týká stavu prostředí ve kterém žijeme mi a všechen ostatní život, který je nám znám :)

Climate change increased wind speeds for every 2024 Atlantic hurricane: Analysis | Climate Central
https://www.climatecentral.org/report/2024-hurricane-attribution

Key findings:
- All eleven hurricanes in 2024 (as of November 10) intensified by 9-28 mph during the record-breaking ocean warmth of the 2024 hurricane season, strengthening over waters made as much as 2.5°F warmer because of climate change.
- Climate change made elevated sea surface temperatures (SST) in the tracks of 2024 hurricanes up to 800 times more likely.
- Human-warmed ocean temperatures made major hurricanes Helene and Milton even stronger, adding 16 mph and 23 mph, respectively.

Účastníci konference OSN o změně klimatu COP29 se dohodli na pravidlech globálního trhu pro nákup a prodej uhlíkových povolenek. Podle zastánců obchodu s povolenkami to přinese miliardy dolarů pro nové projekty na pomoc v boji proti globálnímu oteplování.

Huge election year worldwide sees weakening commitment to act on climate crisis | Climate crisis | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/23/election-climate-change-far-right

An unprecedented year of elections around the world has underscored a sobering trend – in many countries the commitment to act on the climate crisis has either stalled or is eroding, even as disasters and record temperatures continue to mount.

Russia-Ukraine war live: Moscow claims advance in Ukraine’s east has ‘accelerated’ | Ukraine | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/nov/23/russia-ukraine-war-live-latest-news-updates

Russia has included the territories it occupies in Ukraine in its recent greenhouse gas inventory report to the United Nations, drawing protests from Ukrainian officials and activists at the Cop29 climate summit this week.

...

“We see that Russia is using international platforms to legalise their actions, to legalise their occupation of our territory,” Ukraine’s deputy environment minister Olga Yukhymchuk told Reuters.

She said Ukraine is in touch with officials from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the U.N.’s main climate body, to ask it to resolve the dispute.

Officials representing the Russian foreign ministry and the UNFCCC did not respond to requests for comment sent on Thursday.

At issue is Russia’s National Inventory Report of greenhouse gas emissions for 2022, which Moscow submitted to the UNFCCC on 8 November. In the submission, reviewed by Reuters, Russia said it could only provide data for 85 out of 89 of its territories “due to the absence of baseline data on land use for the territories of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, annexed in September 2022.”

Russia had already included emissions from Ukraine’s Crimea region, annexed in 2014, in its last few reporting submissions to the UNFCCC. It also included Crimea’s land development plans in a report to the UN Global Biodiverity Framework in 2020.

Ukrainian environment minister Svitlana Grynchuk raised the issue in a speech to delegates at the Cop29 summit earlier this week, saying Russia’s reporting on Ukraine territories undermines the integrity of global climate efforts.

Cop29 live: talks into overtime as Greta Thunberg says people in power ‘about to agree to death sentence’ | Cop29 | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2024/nov/23/cop29-talks-go-into-overtime-as-countries-wrangle-over-finance-deal-live-coverage

The people in power are yet again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen.

Those in power are worsening the destabilisation and destruction of our life supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with the global greenhouse gases reaching an all time high just last year.

The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and continue to exploit planet and people.
