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

Friends of the Earth International views the COP26 pledge to end public financing for overseas fossil fuel projects by 2022 as a positive step but criticizes the exclusion of countries like Japan and South Korea, the continued domestic fossil fuel extraction in the UK and US, and the lack of climate finance for the Global South. The organization advocates for community-based renewable energy systems and denounces 'false solutions' such as net zero and carbon markets, while specifically calling for the UK to end financial support for gas exploitation in Mozambique.

• The UK, US, and 18 other nations pledged to stop public funding for overseas fossil fuel energy projects by the end of 2022, covering coal, oil, and gas, though Japan and South Korea were not among the participating countries.
• The announcement is characterized as hypocritical because it does not prohibit the development of fossil fuel extraction within the domestic borders of the participating countries, specifically citing the US and UK.
• The organization argues that rich countries are failing to provide the necessary climate finance to enable an equitable energy transition in the Global South.
• The document rejects 'false solutions' promoted by wealthy nations and polluting companies, specifically naming net zero, carbon markets, and geoengineering.
• The UK government is specifically urged to stop financing gas exploitation in Mozambique, a project that is the subject of legal action by Friends of the Earth England, Wales & Northern Ireland with a court hearing scheduled for December 7, 2021.
