Despite the UN warning of the end of the world, there is little hope that the climate summit in Egypt starting Sunday will be a success.
Without exception, every global environmental conference has been heralded as a doomsday summit. But this time, UN General António Guterres is even warning of a certain apocalypse if Egypt does not sign a historic climate protection pact. In addition, the UN General thinks the world is on the brink of an abyss, raises the red alarm and speaks of humanity’s imminent collective suicide!
Hot spots that will be the center of attention in the seaside resort of Sharm El-Sheikh: the industrialized countries must drastically reduce their emissions and ultimately pay the global South the agreed 100 billion dollars in climate finance.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is adding fuel to the pessimistic fire. It is hard to imagine that states like Russia or China want to play a constructive role in times of crises, conflicts and military confrontations.
Nevertheless, head of state Alexander Van der Bellen boarded a plane to Egypt on Monday to meet the UN boss and “save the planet together”. Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and Indian head of state Narendra Modi, on the other hand, are staying away from the eco-spectacle.
