COP26 WOUNDS STILL STING – AND WAR DOESN’T HELP

Two weeks of interim climate negotiations come to an end and with them, arguably, a middle era between COP26 and what the world will be like in November between conflicts in Europe, elections in Brazil and mid-term elections in the United States. All leading up to a COP27 that now, with less than five months to go before the whistle blows, is shaping up to be -whatever the outcomes of the aforementioned dynamics -the world premiere of a certainly unprecedented geopolitical scenario.

GLOBAL STOCKTAKE: A TENTATIVE START, THE NEED FOR MORE EFFORT AT THE END OF THE FIRST TECHNICAL REVIEW

The first technical assessment session of the Global Stocktake (GST) of greenhouse gas emissions concluded yesterday at the UN Interim Climate Negotiations. The GST is the process under Article 14 of the Paris Agreement for the five-yearly review of the commitments made by nations party to the agreement to reduce their climate-changing emissions. During these two weeks, negotiators have been meeting together with members of civil society, including scientists and experts called upon to support the assessment of the emissions data collected so far with presentations and technical opinions on their areas of expertise.

ELECTIONS IN BRAZIL 2022: A KEY CLIMATE EVENT

Since Jair Bolsonaro assumed Brazil's presidency in 2019, the foreign policy of South America's largest country has traced the style of its leader. Instead, during these two weeks of intermediate negotiations here in Bonn, there has been a change in attitude on the part of the Brazilian delegation, with negotiators making constructive interventions on more than one occasion instead of engaging in the usual stonewalling. Brasilia seems to have cut its diplomats some slack, so it begs the question of what is the reason for this change in approach, which is almost disquieting when one considers the total dissonance with what is happening in Brazil on a daily basis. The most probable reason is the uncertainty surrounding the looming national elections in October, which probably does not allow for further "headaches" to be added to the country's already tense domestic situation.
