> Scientists have raised concerns about whether high-income countries, with their high per-capita CO2 emissions, can decarbonise fast enough to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement if they continue to pursue aggregate economic growth. Over the past decade, some countries have reduced their CO2 emissions while increasing their gross domestic product (absolute decoupling). Politicians and media have hailed this as green growth. In this empirical study, we aimed to assess whether these achievements are consistent with the Paris Agreement, and whether Paris-compliant decoupling is within reach.

The COP28 Climate Summit Will Finally Go (Mostly) Vegan, Says UN
  • wabooti wabooti 1y ago 100%

    Great PR piece for COP28 which will be held in Dubai and chaired by the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company!

    Luckily, there haven't been any documented instances of the UAE trying to greenwash their image by hosting this conference.

    Thats interesting, haven't heard about that problem yet. Didn't know that the Notrufzentralen are also staffed with volunteers. Do you think that mandatory fire brigade service (Pflichtfeuerwehr) might become more common in the next years?

  • /c/green Weekly Discussion Thread 24th July - 30th July: Share your thoughts on environmentalism, gardening, nature observations, etc.
  • wabooti wabooti 1y ago 100%

    Due to the fact that I will be moving places later this summer, I decided back in March that I would plant some bee flower seed mix on my tiny balcony instead of the usual vegetables. I got the for free from a good friend who works for a nature conservation society.

    The results have been great! I constantly see bumblebees, hoverflies, honeybees and all kinds of wild bee species around my flowers. It feels great to provide a tiny feeding spot in a place that is surround by agricultural monocultures and I can only recommend it to everyone who has even the tiniest bit of space left in their garden or on their balcony.

  • Hello friends of /c/green In recent weeks we have introduced a weekly observations thread in [/c/collapse](https://lemmy.ml/c/collapse) - with success I would say. We average 10-25 comments per week and see some nice discussion and a few regular posters in these threads. Motivated by those positive results I would like so introduce a similar thread here but with a more general slant on environmentalism, gardening, nature observation and everything related! --- Tell us about your work in a environmentalist community group! 💪 Tell us how your native flower patch is doing this year! 🌱 Share some pics of the cool bug you saw on your last hike! 🐛

    Location: Central Germany

    Cerberus heatwave mostly spared us here with only Saturday being a freakishly hot day (28°C --> 38°C temp jump for a day) but it showed me once again how badly prepared most older buildings are for what is to come.

    New Zealand seeks to exterminate predators to save native birds
  • wabooti wabooti 1y ago 100%

    All mammal species in New Zealand except the native ground bats are introduced species, many of them invasive. They wreak havoc on the local ecosystems and have brought quite a few unique bird species near the brink of extinction. I think its absolutely understandable that the New Zealanders want to preserve some of their endemic birds.

    Climate grief can be incredibly draining and I have suffered it as well (I still feel it sometimes but I am mostly over it). I always suggest talking about these things with someone who is close to you like family or a friend. However, I am also aware that many people are either unaware or outright in denial so it can be hard to find someone IRL. As an online resource, I can recommend the Collapse Support Discord. They have chats for venting, weekly collapse support group calls and many other resources for people who suffer from climate grief or distress.

    Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/MQzqebGW

    Very cool rig and LesenokBag looks awesome. I might order something from her in the future. I am currently hunting for a cheap off road bike on the local classifieds to start my bikepacking adeventures. So I might post a question or two in this sub in the coming months

    Location: Germany

    It has been pretty dry here since mid of May. Barely any rain which causes the fields and lawns around me to look like its mid August already but that's still 2 months away. Drought monitoring shows that especially Eastern Germany is rapidly sliding into the next drought.

    Made a simple lemmy sticker design [now with SVGs attached]
  • wabooti wabooti 3y ago 0%

    I agree! We should try to change the narrative towards a more constructive angle, talking about what makes lemmy unique.

    This sticker was made shortly after I joined lemmy and wanted to start some kind of guerilla ad campaign where lemmy users could print out stickers and posters and market lemmy in their city or area. But life happened and other things became a little bit more important for the time being so I just decided to release the best sticker design
