That statement has to be emphatic. When effective modalities work, they work. There is no question, no asking pretty please. When something works to eliminate CO2 emissions then it needs to be incorporated into countries to bring about a larger 'reduction footprint.' We are too far along the timeline to negotiate with Wall Street. Either Wall Street is a partner to what is effective or they are not; but, there is no pretty please anymore.
(c) Cooperate in the promotion of effective modalities for the development, application and diffusion of, and take all practicable steps to promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies, know-how, practices and processes pertinent to climate change, in particular to developing countries, including the formulation of policies and programmes for the effective transfer of environmentally sound technologies that are publicly owned or in the public domain and the creation of an enabling environment for the private sector, to promote and enhance the transfer of, and access to, environmentally sound technologies;
As a global community we know how developing countries are stretched to do much of anything except feed it's people. However, where there is war, how can any climate programmes be implemented. Rebel groups use natural resources to raise money to support themselves and fund their war. In particular, Boko Haram settled into northeast because of discovered veins of precious metals.
These rebel groups have to be brought down to end the threat to the people. If Boko Haram needs timber they'll cut down forests without a second thought.
(d) Cooperate in scientific and technical research and promote the maintenance and the development of systematic observation systems and development of data archives to reduce uncertainties related to the climate system, the adverse impacts of climate change and the economic and social consequences of various response strategies, and promote the development and strengthening of endogenous capacities and capabilities to participate in international and intergovernmental efforts, programmes and networks on research and systematic observation, taking into account Article 5 of the Convention;
Economic and social impacts of the climate crisis has to be included as part of the record to this effort. Deaths of extreme storms, droughts, failed crops and dying livestock. Also realize the number of opportunistic viruses the global community has seen with a warming Earth. That accounting of disease needs to start no later than SARS.
The dynamics of Earth's stressed climate has many symptoms and not just temperature and gases. This hot climate has profound impacts on governments and people.
It was Thomas Friedman from the New York Times that traced the implosion of Syria directly to the drought and the need of water by Syrians.
All that counts and should be a part of the climate record and regular meetings.
(e) Cooperate in and promote at the international level, and, where appropriate, using existing bodies, the development and implementation of education and training programmes, including the strengthening of national capacity building, in particular human and institutional capacities and the exchange or secondment of personnel to train experts in this field, in particular for developing countries, and facilitate at the national level public awareness of, and public access to information on, climate change. Suitable modalities should be developed to implement these activities through the relevant bodies of the Convention, taking into account Article 6 of the Convention;
There is so much opportunity for investment and return on investment in paragraph (e) it should be ignored. These are generational changes for Earth's people. This is not temporary. This is the future and will be enforced by societies alone. Wall Street, if it is to survive, needs to take heed of what is becoming the 'static Earth' capable of supporting life. Wall Street needs to get over itself and it's clenched fist on it's wealth. It is not productive and requires regulation if it continues.
(f) Include in their national communications information on programmes and activities undertaken pursuant to this Article in accordance with relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties; and
(g) Give full consideration, in implementing the commitments under this Article, to Article 4, paragraph 8, of the Convention.
I'll put it this way. The sooner Russia and Saudi Arabia create a different economic infrastructure with better energy and transportation, the sooner oil will end it's oppressive enforcement of hardship.
Saudi Arabia has the perfect country for changing it's energy sources. Solar mirrors that heat tubes of oil to 800 F to then heat steam to power electricity. It will be so modern it will make Dubai jealous.
Russia needs some good wind maps.
