ClimateMatters – Population

Facing Future – Dec 15, 2016

This ClimateMatters.TV show, from COP-22 in Morocco, deals with the thorny issue of population. It asks the question, “How can we avoid catastrophic climate change without addressing our booming population?” It by no means is a complete discussion of the huge subject. But it brings up several interesting perspectives worth thinking about and acting upon.

The Global Carbon Project

The Global Carbon Project is a Global Research Project of Future Earth and a research partner of the World Climate Research Programme. It was formed to work with the international science community to establish a common and mutually agreed knowledge base to support policy debate and action to slow down and ultimately stop the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The overwhelming realization that anthropogenic climate change is a reality has focused the attention of the scientific community, policymakers and the general public on the rising atmospheric concentrations of the main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The GCP has approached this challenge by focusing comprehensively on the global biogeochemical cycles which govern these three greenhouse gases, including their natural and human drivers, and opportunities for low carbon pathways.

Attempts through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, first with its Kyoto Protocol and now with the Paris Agreement, are underway to stabilize the climate system which requires achieving a balance between sources and sinks of greenhouse gases.

The Global Carbon Project was established in 2001 by a shared partnership between the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and Diversitas. This partnership constituted the Earth Systems Science Partnership (ESSP) which subsequently evolved into Future Earth.

What’s on the climate agenda as COP27 enters its final week – YouTube

Nov 13, 2022

For 27 years, the United Nations has held annual gatherings of world leaders to discuss how to combat climate change. Yet progress towards the goal of stopping global warming has been elusive, and this year’s summit is happening against the backdrop of host country Egypt’s record of human rights abuses. Sarah Kaplan, climate reporter for the Washington Post, joins Ali Rogin to discuss.

How Egypt is Using COP27 to Cover Up Human Rights Abuses

Nov 15, 2022

World leaders are descending on the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh for this year’s UN climate change conference. And COP27’s host, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, is hoping the event will earn him legitimacy on an international stage despite his ongoing crackdown on political dissidents.
