As our Shauna gets ready to head off to COP27 in Egypt, three things are on her mind.🌎
Firstly , I’m none the wiser as to whether the views of people in Northern Ireland will be represented as world leaders decide what’s needed to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees higher than preindustrial levels.
The money was pledged to help developing countries, where people are suffering most from a climate crisis they did least to cause. And that in itself is downright shameful. No thanks to acidic dead seas that leech onto land, killing our ability to feed ourselves - for that’s what we’re in for down the line if we don’t get this situation under control. And Europe, with our more temperate climate won’t escape.
Thirdly , I’m hoping the world’s richest countries will finally step up and deliver the funding promised to the global south to help them cope with a catastrophe they did little to cause. While NI Water plans to replace lead communication pipes within the system, there is no funding available for householders and landlords to do the same.
