Konferensi Vatikan Menggarisbawahi Perhubungan Antara Pembangunan Berkelanjutan dan Larangan Senjata Nuklir

Oleh Ramesh Jaura

KOTA VATIKAN (IDN) – Ketika para pemimpin dunia menyetujui ‘Mengubah dunia kita: Agenda 2030 untuk Pembangunan Berkelanjutan’, sebagai dokumen hasil KTT Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa untuk adopsi pembangunan pasca-2015 dua tahun lalu, mereka menetapkannya sebagai “sebuah rencana tindakan untuk manusia, planet dan kemakmuran” yang “juga berusaha untuk memperkuat perdamaian universal dalam kebebasan yang lebih besar”.

Dokumen tersebut, yang mencakup 17 Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Development Goals – SDG) dan 169 target, didasarkan pada sebuah konsensus yang muncul dari diskusi yang berkepanjangan dalam Kelompok Kerja Terbuka. Ini dengan cermat menghindari kata-kata seperti “dunia yang bebas dari senjata nuklir”.

COP23 Finally Provides a Platform for Indigenous People on Climate Talks

By Stella Paul

BONN (IDN) – Patricia Gualinga has been coming to the UN climate change conferences for several years. She usually receives 2-3 minutes on a panel of a side event on indigenous issues during which she tells about the struggles of her community – the Kichwas of Ecuador.

The struggles are, typically, of surviving in an environment where water is fast depleting, air is polluted, land is taken away and tribe members are evicted from their homes – all in the name of development. Sarayaku – where Gualinga comes from – is an Amazonian province in which the degradation is often caused by large oil explorers. (P33) JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | KOREAN TEXT VERSION PDF |

Further, Faster, Together On Climate – From Bonn To Katowice

By Ramesh Jaura

BONN (IDN) – The two-week long intensive and multilevel talks concluded in Germany’s former capital city in the early hours of November 18 tasking the negotiators to focus on ‘Where are we, where do we want to go and how do we get there?’ before they meet in Poland in December 2018.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat said the Bonn Climate Conference – officially known as COP23, the 23rd session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention – had become “launch-pad for higher ambition”. (P32) GERMAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF

Climate Change Impact in Asia-Pacific Needs Innovative Finance Solutions

By Jaya Ramachandran

BONN (IDN) – While global estimates range between US$55 trillion and $93 trillion to stay within 2 degree Celsius of temperature increase by 2030-2035, developing countries in Asia alone need an estimated US$3.6 billion per annum up to 2030 to transition toward net zero emissions and increased resilience, according to ESCAP News.

If finance is to be scaled-up to these levels, it is essential to use lending and capital market channels to shore up resources to effectively tackle the impact of climate change, according to countries in Asia-Pacific which gathered on November 16 on the sidelines of global climate talks in Bonn to discuss opportunities to raise ambition to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement through innovative finance solutions. It was acknowledged that additional support from the international community was required to support this effort.

COPENHAGEN (IDN) – Quick change is needed to save the long-term future. The central problem, which the world faces in its attempts to avoid catastrophic climate change, is a contrast of time scales. In order to save human civilization and the biosphere from the most catastrophic effects of climate change, we need to act immediately. Fossil fuels must be left in the ground. Forests must be saved from destruction by beef or palm oil production.

Traditional Silk Weavers in India Losing Out To New Comers

By Kalinga Seneviratne

SUALKUCHI, Assam, India (IDN) – Silk weaving is an intrinsic part of Assamese culture and the “weavers’ village” of Sualkuchi is famous for its silk products, especially the Muga silk made from the golden thread of the assama caterpillar. Situated about 30 km from Gauhati, the state capital, tourist brochures describe this as a weavers’ paradise. But this is far from reality for the local weavers.

“The cost of production is going up, especially with an increase in the price of thread. We cannot feed the family with our loom,” said Ninola Boruah, a local weaver in her 40s. She was particularly critical of the entrepreneurs who have set up what the industry calls “cluster” operations. These consist of a virtual factory with 8 to 12 looms packed into a small hut employing weavers on daily wages.
