En resumen:
1. En la COP 26 de la Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) se están promoviendo arriesgados planes de geoingeniería para justificar el problemático concepto de “cero neto”, que distraerá de realizar los cambios necesarios para llegar realmente a cero emisiones contaminantes.
2. Las técnicas de geoingeniería, en gran medida inexistentes, se basan en teorías científicas sesgadas, que proporcionan a la industria de los combustibles fósiles una coartada más para seguir extrayendo y contaminando.
3. Contrarrestar las narrativas de gobiernos y corporaciones que promueven “cero emisiones netas” y geoingeniería, es una tarea vital en la COP26. No podemos perder el poco tiempo que tenemos para cambiar realmente el curso del caos climático.

Find out what geoengineering is, why it's so dangerous, and why the idea of these largely non-existent technologies is being used as an alibi for the fossil fuel industry to continue extracting and polluting.
You can listen to it on our podcast channels on Apple, Google, Spotify and YouTube, and here.

The USA and the United Arab Emirates both have vested interests in finding ways to justify continuing to extract and sell their vast supplies of oil. It is perhaps not coincidental then, that these two countries are planning a high-profile launch for what is likely to become a controversial climate and agtech initiative, “Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM4C)”, at UNFCCC’s COP26 in Glasgow in November.

Why not listen to the first episode of our new “Spanner in the System” podcast mini-series during your lunch break today? As we mark World Food Day (16 October), it’s a good time to pause and reflect on our food and where it comes from. Our first podcast, in our new mini-series on disruptive tech, produced in the Asia-Pacific region, does just that!
