Australia ratifies the Paris agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t still want to build one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2016\/09\/12\/adanis-australian-coal-mine-economics\/\" target=\"_blank\">world&#8217;s biggest coal mines<\/a>, but the Aussie&#8217;s didn&#8217;t turn up to the party completely empty handed. After a tricky political year back home in which the committee that ratifies treaties was shut down for months by the federal election, Australia&#8217;s parliament formally endorsed the Paris agreement on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Thursday: &#8220;We look forward to actively and fully implementing our obligations and commitments under the agreement&#8230; The agreement was a watershed, a turning point.

Forests have their day in the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Indonesia&#8217;s government extended its forest protections by declaring a moratorium on clearing\u00a0super-high-carbon intact peatland. That adds to\u00a0the number of concessions that are covered by the existing moratorium.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Colombia announced a plan to link forest protections to its\u00a0peace process. The announcement included a plan to recognise indigenous claims to huge areas of rainforest. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2016\/10\/10\/indigenous-land-rights-fundamental-to-climate-safety-lord-stern\/\" target=\"_blank\">Recognition of native land tenure<\/a> protects forest from illegal loggers and gives huge boosts to carbon storage.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian state of\u00a0Mato Grosso said it had a plan to reduce deforestation in the Amazon by 90% by 2030 all while increasing agricultural production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Paris pledges\u00a0on course for 2.8C of warming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Climate Action Tracker (CAT) released their <a href=\"http:\/\/climateactiontracker.org\/news\/265\/Major-challenges-ahead-for-Paris-Agreement-to-meet-its-1.5deg-warming-limit-.html\" target=\"_blank\">updated prediction<\/a> of where the sum total of\u00a0countries&#8217; climate pledges will take us. The answer? The same as last year: to a 2.8C warmer than the pre-industrial normal. Actually, it&#8217;s not quite the same. Last year <a href=\"http:\/\/climateactiontracker.org\/news\/224\/indcs-lower-projected-warming-to-2.7c-significant-progress-but-still-above-2c-.html\" target=\"_blank\">they predicted 2.7C<\/a>, but some updated numbers from historical emissions meant the destination was tweaked slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Current policies will warm\u00a0the world 3.6C &#8211; the same as last year. The reason there has been no change is because since Paris, no-one has really done much.

Germany delays releasing its 2050 climate plan\u00a0because of pro-coal lobbying<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>German economy minister Sigmar Gabriel (who has had a big fortnight for blocking carbon-reducing initiatives)\u00a0vetoed the release of Germany&#8217;s 2050 emissions reduction target on Wednesday. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/germany-climatechange-idUSL1N1DA042\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters reported<\/a> that appeals by industry and union bodies convinced Gabriel to block the draft plan.<\/p>\n<p>Germany is moving towards\u00a0one of its most divisive elections in years and aggravating the unions is the last thing\u00a0Gabriel wants to do. But he&#8217;s also under pressure to\u00a0defend\u00a0Germany&#8217;s role as a climate leader. The US, Canada and Mexico are all likely to release mid-century targets next week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Germany is <a class=\"tooltipstered\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanenergywire.org\/news\/ministry-projections-highlight-risk-germany-missing-emissions-goal\">already struggling to meet its 2020 climate targets<\/a> and is under additional pressure after Chancellor Merkel\u00a0<a class=\"tooltipstered\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanenergywire.org\/news\/merkel-says-climate-be-g20-priority-coal-related-deaths\/climate-targets-and-growth-will-be-important-topics-germanys-g20-presidency-2017\">repeatedly said<\/a>\u00a0she would make climate policy a priority of Germany\u2019s G20 presidency next year,&#8221; report Clean Energy Wire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Public health threats are now high on the climate agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Moroccan Health Minister, El Houssaine Louardi,<a href=\"http:\/\/cop22.ma\/en#actualites\/climate-change-increases-risk-of-vector-borne-diseases-in-morocco\" target=\"_blank\"> highlighted the connection between\u00a0climate change and air pollution<\/a> in affecting Moroccan citizens&#8217; health. He said public health should be put at the heart of COP22 negotiations. While vector borne diseases are on the rise in Morocco as a result of a warmer climate, &#8220;less than 1.5% of international finance for climate change adaptation is currently allocated to health projects\u201d, Louardi said.<\/p>\n<p>Far from affecting just the COP&#8217;s host country, the burden of climate change-related diseases is getting worse all over the world.\u00a0Yves Souteyrand, representative of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Morocco, warned that about 12.5 million people globally die each year as a result of environmental factors linked to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of a dozen member countries got together to discuss and coordinate cross-border health response as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/unfccc.int\/adaptation\/nairobi_work_programme\/items\/9926.php\" target=\"_blank\">Nairobi Work programme, which facilitates knowledge building and sharing on adaptation related issues.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The group released a statement highlighting that: &#8220;Climate change will have a significant impact on human health by expanding the geographic range of many diseases. In addition, the impact of extreme events, both fast and slow-onset, affect human health and health infrastructure in numerous ways and on different levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><strong>6. Africa&#8217;s renewables under the spotlight<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>African governments and businesses are seizing the opportunity to be\u00a0at the forefront of the climate debate this year, with Morocco taking up the role of African climate champion.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday it was the turn of the <a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom.unfccc.int\/media\/547433\/africa-renewable-energy-initiative-statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Africa Renewable Energy initiative<\/a>, which was presented\u00a0to\u00a0a large\u00a0audience of businesspeople, activists and researchers from the continent and beyond. The initiative aims at mobilising as much money as possible by 2020, to fund a massive boost in large scale renewable energy projects. The target is an additional 10GW of clean energy capacity deployed by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>But the money to change the face of Africa with solar power and lift its people out of poverty at the same time is not there. To turn big ideas into reality, the energy sector will need an investment of about US$20bn before 2020. A figure that looks increasingly unrealistic as the Republicans now in charge in the US (a major contributor to the Green Climate Fund) have promised to slash climate aid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Wednesday was Water Action Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/cop22.ma\/en#actualites\/water-action-day-in-marrakech-a-first-in-cop-history\" target=\"_blank\">event<\/a> that ran throughout the day was promoted by two of the most prominent figures of this year&#8217;s COP, Moroccan and French Climate Champions Hakima El Haite and Laurence Tubiana.<\/p>\n<div>Water is a key theme in this year&#8217;s COP. Water systems are deeply linked with issues that the developing world still struggles with: public health, development and food security all depend on the robust management of a resource that according to the organisers is too often taken for granted. The topic has a special relevance this year, after El Nino cast a deadly dry spell in some of the poorest African regions, affecting hundred of thousands of people.<\/div>\n<p>More than 80% of national climate plans\u00a0have identified water as a key area for adaption, but according to El Haite there&#8217;s still need for greater awareness on the subject. On Wednesday, the Moroccan Government introduced the \u201cBlue Book on Water and Climate\u201d, which collates recommendations on how to turns promises in water-focused policies, and policies into solutions that work on the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a &#8216;uuugggggee story.
