| Description |
This year's Colossal Fossil Award goes to...Russia for peddling nonsense and generally being a massive drag on ambition. Throughout the UN climate change negotiations in Marrakech, Russia has blindly lobbied for nuclear power deployment, continued to abstain from ratifying the Paris Agreement, and said that they do not see phasing-out fossil fuels as an element of their plan to reduce dangerous emissions. That last one came from the lips of President Putin’s advisor on climate change, Mr Bedritskiy. We assume that Mr Bedritsky either missed his own briefing sessions (every day since he was appointed) OR is totally ignoring the science and political direction the world is taking on this issue. Either way is not good, for both a Russia that stands to get left behind, or for the rest of us. But turn that frown upside down because we have a Ray of the COP Award to present to...The Climate Vulnerable Forum for pledging to go 100% renewable! These countries are some of the most vulnerable to climate impacts and are largely without huge financial resources to draw on, but they nonetheless are stepping up ahead of most rich nations, pledging to take aggressive action to tackle climate change. The countries of the Climate Vulnerable Forum are an example to all other governments: they are striving to go 100% renewable to limit global warming to 1.5C, to stay alive and to thrive. |
