ARVADA, CO, USA, November 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The twenty seventh UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 27) is hosted this 12 months by Egypt within the Red Sea resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh from November sixth to Nov 18th.
Around 90 Heads-of-states from round 190 international locations are planning to attend the convention.
The convention this 12 months is occurring on the heels of unprecedented extreme droughts, extreme floods, extreme melting of glaciers, extreme warmth, extreme water stage drops in rivers, and many others.. costing billions of {dollars} to the economies and posing grave hazard to human well being and actually to human existence itself.
The human mindset prior to now 4 a long time has been that every nation with globalization as its steed, does no matter they need of their self-interest with out look after our nature and ecosystems. Humans have forgotten that they belong to nature, are depending on wildlife, they have been created from air, water and meals from soil and wild, live solely with the assistance of air, water and meals from the soil wild and can lastly decompose into them.
Humans are viewing the whole lot round them within the gentle of 1 and just one attribute – financial worth; Mountains, lands, streams, rivers, oceans, snow packs, air, area – how can these be utilized to serve people even when it means destroying them?
This colonialist, aggressive, capitalistic mindset has to be modified. Everyone talks about human rights, incapacity rights, social justice, financial justice, intergenerational justice, and many others. however not living-being rights, nature-rights and nature-inclusivity.
The UN and the Heads-of-States of the 190 nations can set a priority to convey a few change on this mindset from this COP27.
So, how to convey concerning the change within the mindset?
The United Nations has SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals. But what’s “Sustainable” just isn’t outlined and isn’t apparent. The UN and all nations are trying into every SDG as a separate silo. Let’s take the SDG 8- “Decent work and economic growth”. So, now nations, particularly growing nations in Africa and Asia, are focusing solely on SDG 8 and UN helps them too thus main to the plundering of our sources and ecosystems.
Hence, I suggest 3 “Call-to-action” steps to convey a few change within the mindset and motion accordingly: –
1) Change Sustainable Development Goals to Nature-Rights-yoked Development Goals – NRYDG
2) Change SDG8 – “Decent work and economic growth” to “Decent work and Nature-Rights-yoked economic growth”
3) All insurance policies, permits and any human motion have to be “Nature-Rights-yoked”
Now, let’s speak about Children’s rights. UN talks about Children’s rights. I actually am a baby. I’m appointed as a UN Child Advisor for the formulation of UN General Comment no 26. (UNGC26). UNGC26 is the official United Nations steerage on how youngsters’s rights are impacted by the environmental and local weather crises and what governments should do to uphold these rights. I’m very grateful for the chance of being a UN Child Advisor.
My 4th Call-to-action step is
4) Governments should additionally take into consideration youngsters’s rights in coverage formulations.
Now, I’ve been appointed as a UN Child Advisor since Feb 2022. But, I’m not invited to attend COP 27. One department of UN doesn’t discuss to one other department of UN. For instance, UNFCCC, UNESCO, UNCRC, UNOC, UNEP, UNDP all act in their very own silos. What is the purpose of appointing me as a UN Child Advisor if the UN doesn’t present a platform for me to take part in coverage negotiations or as a minimum permit me as a baby to specific my voice in UNFCCC’s COP27? I pose this query to UN as a result of UN is the facilitator for COP. Conference of Youth (COY) is organized however is a separate silo. I’ve been a Climate-aware
Warrior since I used to be 5 years of age. I’ve interacted with many unvoiced, under-privileged, disproportionately affected youngsters and likewise disabled youngsters by many boards that I’ve organized and thru my travels. I’ve additionally interacted with many scientists like Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Michael Mann, Dr. Ed Maibach, Dr. Olga Speranskaya, and many others and many others and mobilized many for the Global Plastic treaty. I’ve led to large-scale coverage modifications globally, nationally and domestically. I battle for each dwelling being’s basic proper to clear air, clear water, clear soil, clear meals and nice well being. I’ve been invited to meet with Madam VP Harris, the US EPA, Governors, Senators, legislators and I’ve labored with them.
But nonetheless no invitation for COP.
My fifth Call-to-action step is
5) Child advisors have to be given the invitation for participation in UN conferences and likewise allowed to sit on the desk with grownup authorities coverage makers for any coverage determination conferences at UN conferences.
Children are the way forward for this planet and climate-responsible youngsters have to be given a seat on the desk to take part in coverage making selections within the UN conferences.
It’s time for adults to significantly act to halt the destruction of our Planet Earth and take into consideration Nature-rights, co-existence and concord with nature and Children’s rights. Will COP27 heed to my rights and justice cries?
