Danone is providing training to farmers in France to make the switch to new techniques to meet a goal to rely on 100 percent regenerative farming in the country by 2025. The coalition, launched by Danone at last year's UN COP climate conference, counts consumer goods heavyweights L'Oréal, Google, McCain, Walmart, Kellogg, Nestlé and Unilever.
The Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda, launched in partnership with the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions and the Marrakesh Partnership, provides a checklist of 30 actions required by the end of this decade to enhance the resilience of communities living in climate-vulnerable regions.
Is the COP27 Summit that kicks off in Sharm El Sheikh this weekend the most important COP meeting yet, and therefore one of the most critical gatherings in the entire history of humanity? It is, by the admission of the Egyptian hosts, an "implementation COP". If COPs did not exist you would need to invent them.
"To give some scale - the 50GW of planned renewables by 2030 is roughly equal to the current installed renewables capacity in the UK (generating over a quarter of our power over the last year)," Dr John Murton, UK COP 26 envoy, explained on Twitter this morning. It also has pace.
To create fairer, greener and more resilient economies at home and around the world. That is why, as hosts of COP26 , the UK wants to ramp up ambition to achieve a climate-resilient, zero-carbon economy. These are: clean energy, clean transport, nature-based solutions, adaptation and resilience, and underpinning everything, finance.
In my first fortnight as COP President, I have been listening to those who have done this before. ??Meeting Meeting people like Paris COP President Laurent Fabius, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and Patricia Espinosa from the UNFCCC. ??And, And we are getting ready for it.??. We are firmly committed to this goal.??
Food systems approaches that aim to repair, regenerate, and transform our systems toward resilience must address the systemic issues of equity and power,” she said, making reference to the 13 principles to guide food systems transformation drawn up by the UN in a multi-year consultation process.
The new campaign will be stewarded by the UK and Chile as incoming and outgoing COP presidents, respectively. That's why all members are demonstrating how they're already in the race to zero, by publishing immediate plans by COP26 and setting interim targets in 2025 and 2030.". campaign, according to the UNFCCC.

"Against the backdrop of ongoing global energy security challenges, organisations like the IMF and World Bank must do all they can to help developing countries move further and faster in tackling climate change, to support resilient economies powered by clean, renewable energy systems," he said.

The agreement's new commitment to call on countries to strengthen their national climate action plans - NDCs in the jargon - next year, instead of in 2025, represented a remarkable diplomatic coup. Future COPs will re-open this debate and seek to extend it to gas and oil. If COPs did not exist you would have to invent them.
It is highly likely the row over phasing down or phasing out coal power will return in the coming years and the debate at future COPs will no doubt be extended to address oil and gas. Countries have also agreed to submit their post-2030 climate targets on a five yearly cycle, with 2035 plans due in 2025. temperature target stands tall.
Danone is currently providing training to farmers in France to make the switch to new techniques to meet a goal to rely on 100 per cent regenerative farming in the country to by 2025.
But more positively, while the gap between adaptation and resilience efforts currently being undertaken, and what is required to safeguard society and ecosystems, remains considerable, such efforts can in fact be very effective, the report suggests. Inaction is a foolish business risk no company can afford.
Businesses have a stake in the COP outcomes for three main reasons - let me explain. What do businesses want to see from the governments that's being discussed at COP? ºC ambition, climate finance, adaptation and resilience. They are already investing in decarbonisation. ºC pathway.
In my eyes, that certainly doesn't merit a big COP announcement. While the roadmap has 2025 plans for ending deforestation, it lacks cut-off dates for land conversion. Even 2025 seems late and might trigger a destructive land-clearing race over the coming three years. The roadmap's definitions also bring up a geography question.
I heard someone call COP26 the "business COP" I couldn't find any official reference of that sort, but I'm inclined to agree. Over the weekend, Saturday was 'Nature Day' at COP. But these are the things that undergird COP negotiations — decidedly unsexy stuff that is necessary but highly insufficient to meet the moment.
And now, as we look forward to COP26 next November 2021, our aim is to ramp up ambition towards a climate-resilient, zero-carbon economy. adaptation and resilience. And ahead of COP, we want to see investors take crucial actions, such as setting a target for net zero and publishing a clear transition plan on how to achieve this.

First, adaptation and resilience. billion over the period from 2021 to 2025. Civil society organisations. Corporate leaders and finance executives.
In a video address to more than 40 leaders and ministers assembled at the Berlin event this morning, Antonio Guterres slammed political leaders for failing to take adequate action on tackling climate change and mobilising finance to support poorer nations' efforts to decarbonise and bolster their climate resilience.
Peaking emissions by 2025 is not in this text," he said. This COP caused deep frustrations but it wasn't for nothing," she said. "It This particularly challenging COP brings one piece of hope, especially for the most vulnerable people, with an agreement to set up a Loss and Damage fund," Chiara Martinelli, director at CAN Europe.
What are the big priorities for COP? But progress was still lacking on Resilience and Energy Transition. Clearly it will be a major achievement for the UK government if the UK can hold a successful COP, so one can only assume the will is there to try to bring it off. Where are the main challenges? Nature and finance.
Danone is providing training to farmers in France to make the switch to new techniques to meet a goal to rely on 100 percent regenerative farming in the country by 2025. “If we protect biodiversity, we are basically protecting the diversity of DNA,” Soubeiran mused.
This COP has taken an important step towards justice. We need to drastically reduce emissions now - and this is an issue this COP did not address. Emissions peaking before 2025, as the science tells us is necessary - Not in this text. But they were ignored by the Egyptian COP Presidency. Ambition to keep the 1.5
While the transition will inevitably be complex and difficult, it is essential to building a more resilient economy that benefits more people.".

Sharma's appeal for a transformation of financial institutions is set to form part of a broader speech setting out climate finance priorities of the COP27 Climate Summit, where the UK will officially hand over the COP Presidency to host nation Egypt. It will soon be time for Egypt to pick up the baton," he is expected to say.
As such, this year the formal pre-COP talks are tentatively scheduled for June, and Sharma's letter argues they should now take place virtually. Technically, the pre-COP talks could take place at any time ahead of the Summit itself, but clearly constructive negotiations are more likely with more lead-in time.
As COP26 hosts, the UK government had been working with current COP President Chile, the EU, and a raft of developing countries all of whom want to see a significant ratcheting up of national climate goals to co-ordinate a wave of strengthened NDC submissions in the run up to the Glasgow Summit in November.
Now, in 2025, the focus is on how to actually get it all built — despite bottlenecks, financing gaps, and fractured supply chains. Supporters argue the changes cut bureaucratic red tape, while critics warn they undermine clean energy investment and climate resilience. RSVP by April 1 to secure your spot.
We’ll spare you the obligatory “ good COP, bad COP ” joke, but this week, we’ve got a deep dive into the UN’s biggest move at COP29 so far: the approval of Articles 6.2 This approach could set a precedent for bypassing negotiation processes in future COPs, adding uncertainty to the framework.
Amid all the chaos, we almost forgot it’s COP this week.) A Trump presidency will pull back on adaptation/resilience efforts and loss & damage funds, leaving those worst affected by climate change, who've contributed the least to it, more vulnerable.
