Deze week begint de klimaatconferentie COP26 in Glasgow. Hier een korte video over wat ons in 2050 te wachten staat als we verder blijven suffen in ons collectieve CO2ma… (als in coma maar dan met CO2 😉 ). Met tips om het tij te keren.
Meten = weten. Climate Central heeft het aantal dagen tussen opeenvolgende weer- en klimaatgerelateerde ‘Billion Dollar Disasters’ in de VS in kaart gebracht. Dat zijn dus rampen met een schade van meer dan 1 miljard Dollar.
In de jaren ’80 waren dat nog 82 dagen, de afgelopen 5 jaar zijn het gemiddeld nog maar 18 dagen.
Het gevolg hiervan is dat de middelen om opgelopen schade te herstellen en toekomstige schade te voorkomen (adaptatie) op een gegeven moment uitgeput raken. Het gaat hierbij niet alleen om financiële en economische middelen maar ook om bestuurlijke slagkracht. Het overleven van de actuele crisis gaat dan ten koste van het herstel van vorige crises en het voorkomen van toekomstige ellende. Climate Central spreekt in dit verband van ‘disaster fatigue’ door steeds meer klimaatrampen.
