Tx for the update - keeping track of everything going on can be quite tricky amongst all the "background noise" of national & international geopolitical shenanigans. I'm a little confused whether there is or isn't a plastics treaty? Also, what about deep sea mining - I thought the world agreed to ban it, but now Norway - one of the most properous countries on Earth - has just recently approved it (I assume within their own territorial waters?)! It's estimated that just under 80 % of people will live in cities by 2050'ish yet there seems to be very little attention & focus on sustainable, healthy, green & beautiful cities. The New Urban Agenda was ratified in 2016 and yet no follow up conference(s) to chase up targets & goals that I'm aware of? If our cities fail, that's a lot of unhapoy people (while cities bring resources closer to more people, they also do put more people at risk from various hazards & risks...) It's also interesting to compare participant behaviour at COP28 & DAVOS 2024. At COP28 we were hoping for an acknowledgement of the interconnected nature of the various global crises - ecological, biodiversity, climate, energy, health, cost of living, socio- cultural, economic & political, but nothing came. But that's exactly what they're now discussing at DAVOS not a month later! I'm not sure if the climate COPs are worth it anymore - just discuss everything at DAVOS meetings. World leaders ignored the Stern Report, so I'm not holding my breath, but at least they seem to saying the "right" things - but of course actions speak louder than words... we'll see if DAVOS actually produces any meaningful action that failed to materialize at COP28.
