they will stand accountable as far as sir greenpeace is concerned. and furthermore, the issue of finance has been this massive division over finances caused a real, real ugly feeling a to the, to these climate talks. because the perception is that the rich countries just are not being generous enough with the poor countries who so many of them have suffered . first hand, the effects of climate change and in the south pacific. in other areas of the world where there have been extreme weather incidence. and there is a need for, for more financing, a to deal with the up to prevention measures. and also for substituting green power at good bringing in green power to replace fossil fuel power. so that, that, that has been an area that has got some encouragement. now we have a, an actual situation whereby the adaptation fund is going to be a doubled, are about $40000000000.00 or by 2025. and the area of a vulnerable nations. when it comes to los and damage, that's not so good as a lot of that, lot of problems with that because the language is deemed to be

jennifer morgan from greenpeace international. you're welcome. while the world looks for solutions to the climate crisis, scotlands orkney islands are at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution. the so called energy islands have a heritage of innovation dating back thousands of years. as nick clark reports, the story of invention on these remote islands is coming full circle. cultural and architectural innovation flourished here way back in the elliptic times, even before the pyramids were built, 5000 years on orkney is again at the vanguard of the future. oh i didn't fit on arranging customer through the north sea and the north atlantic where the tides career and back and forth between the islands and the u. k. mainland and in the title raises does power power that can drive all walls? this is the orbital. oh, to the world's most powerful title turbine. roaches spin in the ebb and flow generating enough electricity for 2000 homes. it's just one of many prototypes being tested by the european marine energy center. here on orkney research

greenpeace are wrong on almost everything _ schedule.on it generates, hinkley is the example, it will generate electricity for the current equivalent of 7%, that's a lot of electricity, it also produces it for a very long time, that power station will operate for something like 80 years, a long—lived piece of infrastructure. when it is generating electricity it has a very low and stable fuel price so it is not impacted by fluctuating cost of gas for example which is what is causing problems in terms of energy and the affordability of energy at the moment so on that level. 14541431111. the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry. — the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry. if — the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry. if you _ the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry, if you compare _ the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry, if you compare it - the moment so on that level. well, i'm sorry, if you compare it to - i'm sorry, if you compare it to other renewables like an offshore wind farm, that is relatively quick to buil

greenpeace's language is equally blunt.s as "greenwashing" and "a way for polluters to avoid real emissions cuts". and this perhaps explains why tree planting is so controversial. it's not about if tree planting can make some difference, it's about if it takes a focus away from emissions. and as we consider that, this clip is perhaps useful, of the author fred pearce. and concern about how trees fit into climate action doesn't mean they're not part of the equation. but as i've made this report, i've kept thinking of this graphic. these are global emissions over the past 100 years. you can see them escalating throughout the 20th century and the year with the most emissions was 2019. 2020 emissions were reduced by covid but this week, scientists reported that global carbon dioxide emissions will rebound towards the level before the pandemic. and while our emissions remain this high, the difference that mass tree planting can make is limited. it also risks creating a reassuring sense of action being taken, when the reality is

former secretary general of amnesty international and was previously the head of greenpeace, now a globalador for africans rising for justice, peace, and dignity. kumi, welcome back to democracy now! it is great to have you with us as you stand there in glasgow. talk about this deal that was just made between the u.s., eu, south africa and the significance of coal and whether you see this as the beginning of a radical change in the world. >> this is a positive movove in the right direction. the details need to be looked at more clearly. put pressure on the south african government who has been dragging its feet to actually have a more aggressive timeline to actually get off coal. the challenge is about 100,000 people rely on coal mining jobs for their survival. but it is clear with the resources now, the south african government does not have an excuse to ensure that a just transition for workers in various coal mining industries to be able to transition to clean energy jobs. of course, part of it is to make sure south africa can increase its renewable energy out what -- output as soon as

only about one hour of electricity a day, but a solar power system and stored years ago by greenpeaceps the place running. >> in terms of saving, this did help us save a lot. the expenses of electricity and fuel is not redirected to help a sick stand up -- help us expand our operation. we are saving a lot of time and effort that used to be wasted on getting energy. reporter: the real surge is in domestic use, driven by increasing power cuts by the state and private providers. it is the main driver in the jump in the solar energy generation of the country, from 100 megawatts to over 200 megawatts in just one year. convenient as it is, solar power generatorsre worth thousands of dollars. it's only a choice for the few who can afford it. >> at this moment, yes, solar energy for residential use is expensive, but we are witnessing a large number of lebanese citizens going to install this type of solution. however, the good part of the story is why some lebanese are installing solar systems, others will benefit from the conditions supplied. so it is a win-win for everyone in the country. re

welcome the head of greenpeace uk spoke to i head of greenpeace uk spoke to earlier and he suggestedime that countries have agreed to a text which very clearly describes what is required to get to 1.5. paris at the last moment had a broad commitment to 1.5, but this basically says, if you want to get 1.5 is a feasible pathway, we will have to cut emissions in 2030 about 50% below where they are on target to at the moment and it says clearly, it gets everybody to agree, if they can, that the existing contributions are a step forward but they are way short of that. the process of international diplomacy in this climate diplomacy is to go through a series of processes where you get people to agree some principles and then deliver against that. that is all that one was ever going to achieve at cop. as i say, if we can get this text to actually come through and get agreed, and i would strongly urge everybody to support it, it will be a step forward. it won't mean we have solved it because we will then have to deliver it, but the process of countries agreeing that this is what has to be de

greenpeace says this year provincial governments approved two dozen new coal plants. >> the reason why china sticking with coal and just having a difficult time moving away from coal is because it is such a fundamental part of the economy. there are very complex politics. it's a huge labor source for the country. these are obviously powerful companies in terms of setting policy. nick: climate activists hailed xi jinping's september pledge not to fund new overseas coal plants. and chinese domestic reliance on coal has dropped from a peak of 72 percent, but beijing still requires coal to fuel its short-term growth. and that meanseijing's emissions could get worse before they get better. >> we cannot achieve these global climate goals unless china is able to reverse its emissions trends. nick: chinese officials say their transition from coal won't be rushed. as one put it: “you cannot ask a person to go on a climate diet while he is still starving.” and chinese coal has a legacy, that goes back centuries -- even in the places going green. patrick: this is patrick fok, 150 miles west of be

the head of the environmental organization greenpeace international criticized the agreement as weak meeting the moment, as most of the leaders in rome head to scotland next to attend the united nations climate change conference. in glasgow, the conference known as cop26 officially got underway. delayed by one year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the conference brings together officials from over 200 countries who will negotiate and layout their plans for cutting carbon emissions to avert what has been called a climate catastrophe. scientists have warned that the goal of capping global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius-- or 2.7 fahrenheit-- this century compared to pre-industrial levels is slipping away. but in his opening speech today, the head of the cop26 summit remained optimistic. >> cop26 is our last best hope to keep 1.5 in reach. now, i know that we have an unprecedented negotiations agenda ahead of us, but i believe that this international system can deliver. it must deliver. >> sreenivasan: president joe biden will be in glasgow tomorrow. this afternoon he took questions from

in fact, greenpeace said really is just crossing your fingers. i'm hoping things go ok next time around. but there is more to it than that. that has been progress here is just getting, getting to that point where people are prepared to stick their necks out and commit . now that the whole nature of cop is that, that, that really they set things up for next year. and i don't think enough has been made of this. the fact that the way the system works is, is, is by, by it's very nature slow to speed it up and make it immediate and the, and, and actually to satisfy the demands of what is a global emergency. is a big affair at whether that can be settled in the hours or possibly days ahead at remains to be seen. but it's unlikely that the most biggest likelihood is that they'll be more sentiment. they're more commitment to do things, but not necessarily have the results in hand on top of all these issues with emissions. there's the issue of developing countries having to change their ways of living, having to invest more money in green energy, having t

speaking to jennifer morgan of greenpeace, she said that while this deal, barry keeps a one and a half degrees go alive. it does and a very powerful message that the era of fossil fuels is, is coming to an end. so. 3 do you think, do you take some hope from that? i really, i really don't oh well, you know, what will that will i will try and. oh, on my cheek in that all sorry about that. her patience now because of joining us there, a gun and climb activist who was at the summit there in glasgow. apologies for the shaky line, but to a sense of her disappointment and frustration with the outcome of the summit. we do have other news to bring you as well, and it's a day now after 6 people died in mass protest against you. don's military take over the army chief has now chaired the 1st meeting of the new sovereign council. now this is the body that replaced the power sharing arrangement that was dissolved by general abdel for talbert han late last month, been criticized by the un for excluding, recently ousted civilian leadership. where al jazeera has condemned in the strongest terms, the a

with me right now is the executive director of greenpeace international. jennifer morgan. what is the key issue here and what's happening? so the key issue here is whether or not all of the countries are going to come together and keep a safe future in insight. keep this 1.5 degrees celsius, cool within sight so that there's not more warming than that. and in order to do that key key decisions that they're going to keep coming back to the table until that's done. and that they're going to phase out fossil fuels, which is a main part of causing climate change. but what about the lobbyists on this? because with the small islands of the places on earth that are really up against it, they need masses of money to actually adapt and change change the way they they fuel life. yeah, absolutely. i mean the most vulnerable countries here, the islands, africa, least developed countries. they need support because it's on life and death issue for them. so they need both more ambition. countries to say we're going to have our emissions by 2030. we're going to phase out fossil fuels with

with me right now to speak about this, we have a greenpeace head of delegation. we, we've seen a number of a concerns haven't weighed about mitigation, about the whole process of, of how we move forward on this. so one pablo as o'neil, you have seen a lot of deliberation. are you happy about things or are you really concerned this isn't enough? well, i'm concerned that it's not enough. i mean, as you, as you said, the language that was there in the previous sex about coal pace out fossil fuels subsidy pace out, was a lot stronger than the one that we're seeing. now at the time we're actually pushing for deadlines. so we want to face our cold by when we were pushing for immediate pushing for a face out of fossil fuel subsidies by 2025. and what we have now is an updated coal, so that basically means all call that doesn't have ccf. there's technology that grabs c o 2 and puts it back to the ground. and we have inefficient subsidies also in the tech. so that live leaves a little bit of wiggle room to not really do as much as you potentially could. but the, all of th

andrew simmons, al jazeera glasgow or earlier i spoke to jennifer morgan, exact inter greenpeace international. tell me that while the last china declaration is positive, the pledge is made in glasgow dank. i far enough. certainly, i think took many by surprise here in glasgow. and i think indeed, exactly because of the tensions that go that are going on around the world between the 2 mega parties and powers. i think it's, you know, we need these 2 countries to be collaborating on climate change. so that is important, and i think that's welcome, but the real question is, what they are going to do now here in glasgow to scale up the ambition so that the most vulnerable countries really have a chance in the future. the agreement itself is very focused on implementation. it is focused on reducing methane emissions and collaborating. technically, it's a bit too vague for our liking on how they are going to close the gap between where things are now and this 1.5 degrees target. and i think that's where the multilateral system needs to come in. we need all countries to commit us and china, but all c

greenpeace is urging delegates to agree something historic, but can there be a deal that satisfies everyonethe aim of the summit was to try to reach agreement among more than 190 countries to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. but the sticking points that remain include finding tougher language to secure commitments to phase out coal and other fossil fuels. and finding more money to help developing nations fight climate change and make the switch to greener technology. with the very latest from the summit, here's our science editor, david shukman. siren wails. a warning from outside the conference about the state of progress inside. world leaders are singled out for failing to keep their promises, for allowing the planet to become dangerously overheated, on what is meant to be the last day, demonstrators lay down at the gate of cop26 to ram home the point that lives are being lost because of climate change. appeals for action came in the conference halls, as well. activists calling on governments not to water down key points in the agreement. a plea echoed by the most vulnerable n

greenpeace noted the 850-word document fails to acknowledge that fossil fuels are driving the climate crisis, while making no commitment to tangible actions to end global reliance on coal, oil and gas. the draft text's release came as former president barack obama traveled to glasgow, where he called on world leaders to step up their actions to avert climate disaster, while blasting china and russia for hindering progress on the climate emergency. mitzi tan, a youth climate activist from the philippines, said obama's words rang hollow. >> the u.s. is the country that is most responsible for the climate crisis and yet they have barely done anything. they have promised so much, pledged so much, enough considering the amount of emissions, the amount of pollution, the amount of injustices they have done to the rest of the world. amy: to see our extended interview with mitzi tan, go to democracynow.org. this comes as a "washington post" investigation has found most countries' pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are built on flawed data. "the post" examined 196 country reports and fo

greenpeace issued a statement saying -- "this draft deal is not a plan to solve the climate crisis, it'san agreement that we'll all cross our fingers and hope for the best." this comes as a new report by the group climate action tracker estimates the world temperatures are on track to rise by 2.4 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels based on current emissions pledges. that is far higher than the 1.5 degree goal set at the paris talks. we know go inside to the cop in glasgow, where we are joined by the nigerian environmental activist and poet nnimmo bassey. he is the director of the health of mother earth foundation and author of a number of books, including "oil politics: echoes of ecological wars" and "to cook a continent: destructive extraction and climate crisis in africa." nnimmo bassey, welcome back to democracy now! can you respond to the draft report? where is the enforcement than what about the goals that have been set in the midst of this climate emergency? >> thank you very much, amy. it is very clear this cop is going to end the same what others have ended previously, w

with us now isjennifer morgan, executive director of greenpeace international. us. i saw your rather frustrated reaction yesterday to the g20 communiqu and we note the leaders there suggested that we should be aiming for net zero around mid—century rather than definitely saying 2050. how much does that set the tone for what is happening here and getting under way in glasgow? clearly we are very disappointed with what the g20 dude and you would expect leadership coming out of that group. 7 what the g20 did. in terms of the phase out of coal that is needed and in terms of getting to the net zero economy, but the thing to note is the forum in glasgow is where every country has a seat at the table, not only the big countries, those countries that are fighting for their very survival, and i think it sets the tone in a sense of the need for this global un meeting to step up and to have those voices influencing the big emitters. i don't know how much of the opening ceremony you have listened to but the italian prime minister, it was pretty restrained but you sensed his
