Una postura contra el dominio de los combustibles f\u00f3siles y el compromiso de los objetivos clim\u00e1ticos<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por Marcos Maga\u00f1a e Irene Burga<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a departure from tradition, GreenLatinos decided not to participate in this year’s international climate negotiations for the first time in many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our choice not to participate was prompted by the decision to hold the COP in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, a top oil producer, and the appointment of Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, the CEO of the state-owned oil company, as the summit president. These decisions presented a clear conflict of interest, placing oil and gas polluters’ profit above the urgent need to address the climate crisis and the requirements of communities most impacted by swiftly phasing out fossil fuels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como sede de la COP28, Dubai fue una decisi\u00f3n contraproducente para la lucha global contra la crisis clim\u00e1tica. La influencia indebida de los casi 2.500 cabilderos de los combustibles f\u00f3siles en los procedimientos de la COP28, un problema persistente en conferencias anteriores, alcanz\u00f3 un cl\u00edmax en la COP28. Revelaciones<\/a> about the Emirates’ misinformation regarding methane emissions, which conveniently allowed them to avoid accountability for a decade, underscored the risks associated with holding a climate conference in a country deeply entwined with the fossil fuel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una crisis urgente<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestras comunidades est\u00e1n sufriendo el caos clim\u00e1tico causado por estas mismas compa\u00f1\u00edas petroleras. Desde sequ\u00edas extremas hasta lluvias torrenciales y tormentas mortales, nuestras comunidades son las primeras en experimentar lo peor de la crisis clim\u00e1tica y las \u00faltimas en abordarse. Y, sin embargo, las necesidades de nuestras comunidades, expuestas en los \u00faltimos Informe del Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Clim\u00e1tico (IPCC)<\/a>, siguen siendo marginados en estas conferencias. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si bien la COP28 se desarroll\u00f3 en medio de circunstancias problem\u00e1ticas, produjo un proyecto de decisi\u00f3n que describe las prioridades clim\u00e1ticas internacionales, incluida la mitigaci\u00f3n, la adaptaci\u00f3n, el financiamiento y el apoyo a proyectos clim\u00e1ticos. En particular, los negociadores acordado<\/a> to “transition away” from fossil fuel consumption, marking a milestone in calling out fossil fuels. Although this is a positive step in the right direction, the language falls short of a complete phase-out, leaving room for continued extraction and consumption and putting our communities at risk. The text of the draft decision can be found on the UNFCCC\u2019s website aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un punto de inflexi\u00f3n para la acci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estados Unidos abri\u00f3 la COP con un anuncio cr\u00edtico al finalizar su Reglas de gas y petr\u00f3leo de metano<\/a>, una medida que reducir\u00e1 significativamente la contaminaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica y beneficiar\u00e1 la salud p\u00fablica, especialmente para las comunidades cercanas a los sitios de extracci\u00f3n. GreenLatinos trabaj\u00f3 arduamente con la justicia ambiental, la salud p\u00fablica y los aliados de los grupos ecologistas para asegurar esta victoria fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GreenLatinos est\u00e1 comprometido a garantizar que reducir progresivamente<\/strong> eliminar por completo los combustibles f\u00f3siles y erradicar permanentemente el consumo de estas fuentes sucias de energ\u00eda. Sabemos que esta es la causa fundamental de los impactos desproporcionados del cambio clim\u00e1tico que nuestra comunidad enfrenta a diario. Desde fen\u00f3menos clim\u00e1ticos extremos hasta enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas, nuestras comunidades necesitan una soluci\u00f3n ahora, no m\u00e1s tarde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP28, with its ties to oil company executives, did not provide the constructive space we sought, and Dubai’s influence overshadowed meaningful discussions. We commend the efforts of frontline-serving environmental justice organizations who attended to oppose and resist these greenwashing false solutions and fight for stronger language. The UN must listen to frontline communities and put their power to better use at future COP climate change conferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
