Eines der größten Hindernisse für bestehende internationale Bemühungen zum Ausstieg aus fossilen Brennstoffen, wie die COP-Klimagipfel, besteht darin, dass sie die Zustimmung aller Anwesenden, sogar der OPEC-Länder, einholen müssen. Dies ist praktisch ein Veto und hat den Fortschritt verlangsamt.
Mittlerweile schreiten 60 Länder voran, dieses Mal ohne die Vetoblocker. Außerdem werden sie über den COP-Auftrag, der in der Reduzierung des Verbrauchs fossiler Brennstoffe bestand, hinausgehen und darüber diskutieren, wie der Einsatz fossiler Brennstoffe zu 100 % beendet werden kann.
With no China, US, or OPEC to block or veto measures. 60 governments, incl. Brazil, Germany, Canada, and Nigeria will hold the first international meeting this week to discuss phasing out fossil fuels.

It’s way past time to not just phase out fossil fuels, but hurry it the heck up! Expers are already saying it may be too late to reverse our heating momentum, and I’ve already barely survive two „heat dome“ events here in a city where up ‚til now we’ve rarely needed central air conditioning in summer!
so 60 countries are gonna discuss phasing out fossil fuels without the usual blockers, that’s a decent start. what’s the plan for dealing with countries that aren’t part of this meeting, like indonesia or russia, who are still gonna be major players in the fossil fuel market for years to come?
Germany? Lol, not with our economy minister Katharina Reiche having the entire gas lobby suckling on her teats.
So just going to leave the shipping, heavy industry and air travel that their countries need to survive to…who exactly?
I was unaware China was a roadblock with phasing out fossil fuels.
Lately they have been going all out with renewable energy to reduce their dependence on oil.
