A missed opportunity: why COP29’s broken promises will leave billions behind - NaijaAgroNet

... Linking agrobiz, sustainable environs, people & technology

As the dust settles after COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, IIED’s executive director Tom Mitchell reflects on a ‘squandered opportunity’ to address the climate emergency and calls for reform of the COP process, to ensure adaptation and loss and damage finance reach those who most need it.COP29 in Baku will be remembered as a squandered opportunity to turn promises of climate action into reality. Despite being framed as the 'Finance COP', the outcomes reveal a deepening chasm between rhetoric and action.

The failure of wealthier nations to provide meaningful adaptation finance or pathways to resilience for the most climate-vulnerable countries is devastating, especially when action on emissions has fallen short and the price tag of dealing with the impacts is rising steeply.

Biodiversity and climate action @Colombian Pacific: The Green businesses - NaijaAgroNet

... Linking agrobiz, sustainable environs, people & technology

It’s the crack of dawn. Magnolia Ordoñez leaves in a small boat along with her husband - the captain- and her colleagues— all women. Their task: to find and collect pianguas, a type of saltwater clam, that lives buried within the roots of mangrove trees in the Pacific region of Colombia.

Reaching the pianguas is no easy endeavour. They must find the right place to anchor, always a different spot from their last harvest, to ensure sustainability. Magnolia then jumps overboard, climbs a wall of mud and walks as far as possible into the mangrove forest, jumping and weaving through long roots. She lights incense to ward off mosquitoes and takes a moment to sing to the mangroves, thanking them for the food they provide. Then, she wades through the mud, sometimes reaching above her knees, to carefully dig up the clams. With each piangua she unearths, she checks its size and takes only the mature ones. This labour-intensive process is a race against the rising tide.
