La fin du financement des combustibles fossiles lors de la COP26 – une annonce bienvenue mais hypocrite

Friends of the Earth International critiques the COP26 announcement by the UK, US, and 18 other countries to end public financing for overseas fossil fuel projects by the end of 2022, calling it hypocritical due to continued domestic extraction and a lack of climate finance for the Global South.

• During the COP26 'energy day', the United Kingdom, the United States, and 18 other nations pledged to stop public funding for overseas fossil fuel energy projects by the end of 2022. While the inclusion of oil and gas alongside coal is welcomed, the document notes that major polluters such as Japan and South Korea did not join the announcement.
• The announcement is described as hypocritical because it allows participating countries, specifically citing the US and UK, to continue developing fossil fuel extraction within their own borders despite their status as major historical polluters.
• Friends of the Earth International argues that wealthy nations are failing to provide the necessary climate financing to support an equitable energy transition in the Global South. They advocate for renewable energy systems that are community-based and socially owned, avoiding privatization and extractivism while protecting biodiversity and land rights.
• The organization warns against 'false solutions' promoted by wealthy countries and polluting companies, specifically naming carbon markets, geoengineering, and 'net zero' concepts as loopholes.
• The UK government is specifically called upon to end financial support for gas exploitation in Mozambique. Friends of the Earth England, Wales & Northern Ireland have initiated legal action against the UK government over this funding, with a court hearing scheduled for December 7, 2021.
