Strøtanker om bæredygtighed

Selvom klimaudfordringen er vor tids måske største udfordring – og set i sammenhæng med bæredygtigheds- og biodiversitetsudfordringen uomtvisteligt er det – så fylder den foruroligende lidt i vores bevidsthed og dagligdag. Måske fordi det ikke er rart at tumle med ting, som er svære at få til at gå op, måske fordi vi er trætte af at høre om uafvendelige katastrofer, måske fordi vi ikke helt er til sinds at slippe de mange flyrejser og røde bøffer og det materielle forbrug (når der er så mange ting som er et større problem). Måske fordi vi ikke har tillid til, at de institutioner, som skulle tage de store beslutninger, rent faktisk tager den – eller bare prøver på det. Måske … allermest bare fordi vi ikke får ordentlig besked.

Dette indlæg er først og fremmest en linkside for at råde bod på klimaspørgsmålets alarmerende usynlighed i de danske medier, at vi om mindre end to måneder tager hul på næste runde i verdenssamfundets klimaforhandlinger, COP 18 i Doha, Quatar.

For ikke at løbe med halve vinde lavede jeg her primo oktober en søgning på politiken.dk. Her var der kun en enkelt artikel, som overhovedet nævner COP18 – i en opremsning i en artikel om madspild af Selina Juul (som er ekstern skribent). Berlingske har bragt et enkelt telegram fra BNB i februar, mens BT ud over samme BNB-telegram tilbage i december bragte en egentlig artikel om alliancen mellem EU og de fattigste ulande, som var med til at repolarisere forhandlingerne ved COP17. Ingeniøren har intet om COP18. Også Ekstrabladets søgemaskine melder pas, men spørger håbefuldt, om jeg mente COP15?

Information er i en klasse for sig med hele fem artikler, hvori COP18 er nævnt, heraf to fra i år. Begge af Jørgen Steen Nielsen, som om nogen holder fanen højt, når det gælder lødig, solid, perspektiverende information om klimaudfordringen.

Man kan forledes til at tro, at der kun sker noget én gang om året. Men positionerne flytter sig sjældent på konferencerne, og hvis de gør, skal der oftest repareres og redefineres efterfølgende, så det vigtigste sker i høj grad mellem de store konferencer. Siden sidste større runde af klimaforhandlingerne, COP17 i Durban, har forhandlerne været samlet først i Bonn og siden i Bangkok – hvilket heller ikke på nogen måde dominerer i de danske medier.

I tiden frem til COP18 vil jeg derfor på dette sted løbende samle links ind til artikler om COP18 og de problemfelter, alliancer, forhåbninger, sympatier og antipatier, som udfolder sig omkring næste store runde i klimaforhandlingerne, som indledes 26. november i Doha, Qatar.

I bedste fald har vi inden COP18 en genvalgt Obama, som har både flertal og vilje til at gennemføre en amerikansk klimalovgivning, et EU, som er villig til at stramme sin klimaudfordring, som nu er så slap, at vi kommer i mål med målsætningen om 20% reduktion inden 2020 længe før tid – 30% ville være overkommeligt, og 40% ville kalde på opfindsomheden – og et EU, som vil lave de opstramninger af kvotesystemet, som gør, at det rent faktisk gør en forskel.

I Doha skal Kyoto-aftalen forlænges, klimaindsatser verden rundt finansieres, skibsfart og luftfart indrulleres, og den store globale klimaaftale, som blev skitseret i Durban, hvor alle yder efter evne, skal lægges i langt fastere rammer, samtidig med at tiden inden dens iværksættelse ikke må gå til spilde. I bedste fald er de store BASIC-lande med de svulmende økonomier og drivhusgasudledninger klar til at tage deres del. Så der er masser af vitale temaer på højkant.

Og hvis du støder på en god artikel om COP18, så send gerne linket.

Se UNFCCCs side om Doha Climate Change Conference – November 2012.

PS: her 25. november, dagen inden COP18 starter, gentog jeg søgningerne. Der var nu tilkommet yderligere 2 artikler på politiken (23.11. og 25.11) og hele 5 yderligere på Information her i november. Berlingske har yderligere tre artikler, heraf én om situationen i Syrien, én hvor Morten Messerschmidt mener COP18 er ligegyldig, og én hvor klimaministeren siger, at det endda giver mening at afholde COP18. Så her er klimadækningen tilbage i klassisk pro et contra helt uden detaljer om de reelle problemstillinger. Ekstrabladets søgemaskine spørger stadig håbefuldt, om det var COP15, jeg mente?
