mike is absolutely right that groups like greenpeace hard the government to that.rrent mix of policies needed to be implemented in order to get to 2050 and i don't think... i don't know what else he will say in the next hour or so but that is i'm sure what he says will be consistent with that. you need the policies to deliver that and implement those policies. and part of the report is saying there are a lot of things we still need to do which is absolutely true. it's over 25 years away and we have little time to do it but we need to go ahead and do things. you say we have a little time but all the reports so far suggest a watering down of some of the policies. let me put some words you wrote yourself back in march 2022. you said now is not the time to go slow on net—zero. he said the answer to the current crisis is more people driving electric cars, less electricity produced by fossil fuels. the invasion of ukraine is not a reason to give up a net—zero in rather a reason to redouble efforts. if we are going to see a watering down in some ways of the policies that

the environmental group greenpeace says... it described the decision to give the go—ahead to the rosebank oil field as "reckless". our business correspondent peter ruddick explained how the decision was reached. well, it would have been a controversial decision given the cost and environmental impacts at any time but i think at the moment given the questions surrounding the uk government's commitment to its own net zero targets, then of course this decision becomes even more controversial. important to say although the government has backed this new oil field, that today's decision has come from the north sea transition authority, essentially oil and gas regulators. now, they say they have taken into account net zero considerations throughout the project's life cycle, not stopping, as you say, the environmental reaction from this, greenpeace uk essentially saying rishi sunak, the uk prime minister, putting the profits of oil companies above everyday people. as you say, rosebank located about 80 miles off shetland. ithaca energ

greenpeace had published studies linking deforestation in the amazon to soy and beef bought by majorompanies. the public outcry paid off. it resulted in the soy moratorium and the beef moratorium: voluntary agreements between big food producers to stop buying these goods from newly deforested areas. the soy moratorium was especially successful. it's estimated to have saved 18,000 square kilometers of forest over a decade. you might wonder: how did this affect the economy in the amazon? well, it still kept growing. agricultural production actually went up as deforestation decreased. that's because farmers were not using their land efficiently before, and pastures often remained empty. soon, they were forced to plant crops in some of these underused pastures. and stock more cattle on them. if this all sounds too good to be true, it's because it was. around 2013 deforestation rates started climbing again. during a time of political turmoil, conservative allies of the agribusiness had pushed to weaken the laws protecting forests. and big infrastructure projects were creeping into the ama

work, at all, david, amina there, mentioned in her report, didn't she, that the adl even spied on greenpeace, the goodness sake, are there any other unexpected targets of adl surveillance, do you think? well, you would expect from its propaganda and publicity that it would... only focus on the far right, the the organizations which are engaged in uh um plotting against the jews as as a group, but of course since it's very beginning, this not only done that way back in the 1940s before the creation of israel, fbi file show that it was spying on arab american groups and reporting on them to the hagana and to the the forerunner of the mossad and in fact they had people inside the adl who turned out to be later israeli intelligence. agent so there was that, and then by the time it comes to the 1990s, you have yes green peace, the united farm workers union, you have south african apartide anti-apartide groups, whole range of organizations are being spied upon by this organization, and they're actually engaged in uh providing that information to uh to the fbi and collaborating very, very closely w

and let's talk to own a key to the executive director of greenpeace africa. and i re thank you so much for being on al jazeera. and 1st of all, let's start with john kerry's remarks that he's saying the calvin market has to grow into the billions. i mean, how do you see that happening for us that's, that's not a sustainable ways. we actually are advocating to put an end to costly and destructive fossil fuel subsidies. we're driving giving to the carbon market, and we need to be shipped that support to renewable energy. and now as you can see, the didn't lose. kimble for oil and gas in africa is really, really something that we see very, very badly impacting our communities. so we need to be rejecting this, this carbon tax, which is really just a false way of us dealing with sustainable ways of, of managing our, the impacts of our climate change. we need to reject new fossil fuel investments that are uncomfortable with the powers agreement. and it's one when 5 celsius women limits. and if we go and invest more into this, what's your fuel interested in giving t

earlier i spoke to climate and energy campaigner from greenpeace thandile chinyahvanhoo, about the importanceis a very important summit as it's an opportunity for our leaders to capitalize on the opportunity to have a cohesive vision of climate action and taking decisive action towards it. it's an opportunity for multilateral engagement to be able to define solutions together for, ultimately, how we will tackle this climate crisis and ensure that communities are able to adapt and are resilient in the face of the climate crisis. how challenging is this, though? africa is a growing continent. there are countries such as south africa which still rely heavily on coal. how easy is it going to be to get nations like that to give it up so quickly? it's definitely going to be a difficult challenge. we have a myriad of socioeconomic challenges within our different regions and of course varying levels of development. and this ever present idea that we need to continue to exploit resources in order to develop, and that's a mindset that we definitely need to overcome. so it's going to be quite challengin

greenpeace called the decision reckless, friends of the earth said it was a colossal failure of leadershipt government policy, it's a good obligation under the climate act. the government points out we will still be using some oil and gas even when we reach net zero 2050, perhaps as much as a quarter of total energy use. it says thatis quarter of total energy use. it says that is compatible with net zero so long as we are taking an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it permanently underground stop some campaigners believe rosebank will make it the target impossible to meet and they are planning on taking the government to court over the issue. ultimately, the future of this oilfield may be decided in court. 0ur political editor, chris mason, is in glasgow. tell us more about the political reaction to tip the tell us more about the political reaction to ti— tell us more about the political reaction to tip the prime minister welcomed it _ reaction to tip the prime minister welcomed it and _ reaction to tip the prime minister welcomed it and set _ reaction to
