‫انطلاقًا من مؤتمر التغير المناخي COP27 إلى قمة مجموعة العشرين: شباب العالم يحثون قادة العالم على التمسك بتعددية الأطراف وتمكين الشباب

شرم الشيخ، مصر، 14 نوفمبر 2022 / PRNewswire / — قبل قمة مجموعة العشرين، دعا طلاب من 15 جامعة مرموقة في تسعة بلدان قادة العالم إلى تمكين الشباب والتمسك بمبادئ تعددية الأطراف؛ لينقلوا التزاماتهم بانبعاث كربوني صفري إلى حيز التنفيذ.

GAUC Ambassadors show the open letter.

جاءت دعوة العمل من السفراء الشباب للتحالف العالمي للجامعات حول المناخ (GAUC) ، والذين أصدروا رسالة صريحة موجهة إلى قادة العالم في فعالية “ Climate X ” في مؤتمر التغير المناخي 27 في شرم الشيخ، مصر. عُقدت تلك الفعالية في الجناح الصيني في 9 نوفمبر، يوم التمويل، وقد جمعت هذه الفعالية بين أعضاء GAUC وقادة المناخ العالمي بما فيهم زي زينهوا، المبعوث الصيني الخاص المعني بتغير المناخ، و كريسولا زاكاروبولو، وزيرة الدولة الفرنسية للتنمية والناطقين باللغة الفرنسية والشراكات الدولية، و إنجر أندرسن، المديرة التنفيذية لبرنامج الأمم المتحدة للبيئة، و نيكولاس ستيرن، رئيس معهد غرانثام لأبحاث تغير المناخ والبيئة في كلية لندن للاقتصاد، و إليزابيث يي، نائبة الرئيس التنفيذي لمؤسسة روكفيلر.

أكد زي زينهوا، المبعوث الصيني الخاص المعني بتغير المناخ، على أهمية مساهمة الشباب في النهج التآزري لحل مشكلة المناخ، وصرح قائلًا: “يُعد العامل المشترك بين حلول تغير المناخ وأهداف التنمية المستدامة الأخرى هو المفتاح للثورة الخضراء للبشرية، والتي تمثل روح “ Climate X”. فقد حان الوقت الآن لتشجيع المزيد من الشباب على الانضمام إلى هذه الحركة وطرح حلول مبتكرة”.

كشف سفراء الشباب من GAUC النقاب، خلال الفعالية، عن رسالة إلى قادة العالم نيابة عن الطلاب عبر القارات الست، لتسليط الضوء على الحاجة إلى تسخير مهارات الشباب ودفعهم نحو العمل المناخي المُلح. وأضافت ينزيوي مبوياسا، سفيرة شباب العالم في GAUC من جامعة ستيلينبوش، قائلة: “يمتلك شباب العالم مصالح مكتسبة من العمل المناخي لمساعدة العالم ومستعدون للمساهمة بشغفهم، ورؤاهم، وعقليتهم، وأفعالهم لحماية كوكبنا من أجل مستقبل مستدام.”

تدعو الرسالة، التي أرساها الجيل القادم من قادة المناخ، صناع القرار إلى احترام مبادئ المساواة بين الأجيال، وتعددية الأطراف، وتوسيع السبل للشباب؛ من أجل المشاركة الفعالة في الإدارة العالمية للمناخ.

أفاد كانيانغ شيه، سفير GAUC من جامعة تسينغهوا، قائلًا. “بغض النظر عن كون الشباب مشرفين ويتمتعون بحرية التعبير، فإنهم قادرون على إحداث تغييرات تحولية بمساعدتهم بحكمتنا وحلولنا”. كما صرحت غيلان مارا أندريا، سفيرة GAUC من كلية لندن للاقتصاد، قائلة: “سنقوي من قيادتنا المناخية ونوسع من آفاقنا من خلال الفرص والمنصات المتنوعة”. يُمكن الاطّلاع على الرسالة كاملة من  هنا .

تُعد فعالية “ Climate x ” جزءًا من حملة GAUC’s 2022 Climate x ، والتي تتضمن سلسلة من الفعاليات على الأصعدة الوطنية والإقليمية والعالمية، مثل برنامج تجريبي لتدريب القيادات الشبابية من أجل المناخ، ومنتدى المناخ الإقليمي في إفريقيا، بالإضافة إلى قمة الشباب العالمية “ Climate x ” لعام 2022 حول مستقبل خالي من الكربون، وأسبوع المناخ العالمي للشباب.

صرح مايكل بلومبرج، المبعوث الخاص للأمين العام للأمم المتحدة لطموحات وحلول المناخ ومؤسس شركة بلومبيرغ إل بي ومؤسسة Bloomberg Philanthropies ، قائلًا: “يستحق الشباب مقعدًا على الطاولة، عندما يتعلق الأمر بمعالجة تغير المناخ. يساعد GAUC في منحهم هذا المقعد، بالإضافة إلى دعم عملهم لبناء مستقبل أكثر استدامة. فنحن بحاجة إلى المزيد من الشراكات العالمية والتعاونية المماثلة لهذه؛ من أجل تسريع وتيرة تقدمنا”. تفخر بلومبيرغ إل بي، بصفتها الشريك الداعي، بالبناء على تعاونها الناجح مع GAUC والإعلان عن أنها ستمنح 100 طالب من برنامج GAUC’s Climate x Pilot فرصة مجانية للحصول على شهادة ESG الصادرة حديثًا من شركة بلومبيرغ إل بي.

حظت الحملة أيضًا بدعم من مؤسسة روكفيلر. حيث صرحت إليزابيث يي، نائبة الرئيس التنفيذية لتلك المؤسسة، قائلة: “تُعد GAUC تجسيدًا للجهد العالمي الضروري عبر الأجيال والقطاعات لوقف تغير المناخ. كما أنها تُجهز قادة المناخ الشباب لدورهم المستقبلي وتمكينهم من المساهمة اليوم، من خلال جعل الطلاب على تواصل ودعمهم على المستوى العالمي”.

Ahead of COP27 Energy Day, African Forests in Crosshairs of Oil and Gas Expansion: A Threat Facing Ecosystems and Communities Globally

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — As global leaders gather for ‘Energy Day’ at COP27 on Tuesday November 15, a new report highlights how fossil fuel expansion threatens Africa’s climate-critical tropical forests and casts doubt over how this will serve the region’s energy needs. Congo in the Crosshairs, a new analysis of oil and gas blocks in Africa and the Congo Basin clearly shows the growing threats posed by oil and gas development to critical ecosystems in Africa. Findings show:

  • The area of land allocated to oil and gas production on the African continent may quadruple.
  • Oil and gas exploration blocks overlap with 30% of dense tropical forests in Africa, of which 90% are in the Congo Basin.
  • In the Congo Basin, 64 million hectares (an area nearly twice the size of Germany), now overlap with oil and gas blocks.
  • Over 150 distinct ethnic groups call the Congo Basin home and over 35 million people, or 20% of populated places in the region are now in oil and gas blocks.

Whilst it is clear that no new fossil fuel development can take place anywhere if the world is to avoid surpassing internationally agreed climate goals, there are also few details about how this plan will address the energy needs of a continent that contains 90 percent of the world’s people lacking electricity.

Joe Eisen, Executive Director of the Rainforest Foundation UK, said, “The risk is that this push for oil in Africa’s forests will benefit foreign companies, export markets and politicians over rural communities. The time it will take to build the infrastructure necessary to extract oil from these remote and sensitive areas could also leave them as stranded assets as the world transitions to renewables. Africa has abundant potential in this area but currently only receives 2% of global investment. This needs to change.”

Solutions presented in the report focus on pushing G20 economies to accept their historical responsibility for climate change by committing to debt forgiveness and expanding financial resources that will enable the conditions for keeping fossil fuels in the ground and trees standing as well as promoting the rights of Indigenous Peoples and other local communities.

Francois BILOKO, General Secretary of Réseau CREF, a leading environmental network in the Congo Basin, offered a reality check at COP27:

“We must not let a chaotic expansion of fossil fuels risk our precious tropical forests, biodiversity hotspots, and the rights and livelihoods of forest communities who are already feeling the impacts of climate change. With a focus on realizing our potential in renewable energies, Africa and Congo Basin countries can lead the way to a prosperous green future,” he said .

“What the world needs now are 21st century solutions that put people, nature, and climate stability first. Critical ecosystems like the Congo and Amazon Basins and other regions must be prioritized for preservation along with the expansion of rights and territories for indigenous and local communities,” said Tyson Miller, Executive Director of Earth InSight

CGTN: Xi Jinping and Joe Biden have ‘in-depth, candid, constructive’ talks in Bali

BEIJING, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — China and the United States agreed to maintain strategic communication and conduct regular consultations as the countries’ leaders met face to face on Monday to chart the future direction of what is widely seen as the most consequential bilateral relationship in the world.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden described their meeting on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali on the eve of the G20 Summit as “in-depth, candid and constructive.”

The leaders, who agreed to maintain regular contact, instructed their teams to promptly follow up and implement the important common understandings reached between them, and take concrete actions to put China-U.S. relations back on the track of steady development.

Taiwan ‘the first red line’

During the first in-person talks between the two leaders since Biden took office in January 2021, Xi made clear China’s principled position on the Taiwan question.

Describing it as at “the very core of China’s core interests” and the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, he warned that the Taiwan question was the first red line that must not be crossed in bilateral ties.

Xi urged the U.S. to act on the assurance by Biden that Washington does not support “Taiwan independence” and has no intention to use Taiwan as a tool to seek advantages in competition with China or to contain China.

Biden reiterated that the United States does not support “Taiwan independence,” does not support “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.”

China’s strategic intentions ‘open and transparent’

The meeting between the two heads of state came weeks after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Reflecting on the congress and its outcomes, Xi said the domestic and foreign policies of the CPC and the Chinese government are open and transparent, with clearly stated and transparent strategic intentions and great continuity and stability.

China does not seek to change the existing international order or interfere in the internal affairs of the U.S., and has no intention to challenge or displace it, he said.

The most important guardrail and safety net for China-U.S. relations is observing the basic norms of international relations and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, Xi stressed.

Biden noted that he has known President Xi for many years and maintained regular communication, but said there is no substitute for a face-to-face meeting.

He congratulated Xi on his re-election as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, and said that as two major countries, the United States and China have a responsibility to maintain a constructive relationship.

Biden reaffirmed that a stable and prosperous China is good for the U.S. and the world, saying that Washington respects China’s system, does not seek to change it, and is neither seeking a new cold war nor to revitalize alliances against China.

CGTN: Xi tells Biden: We must put China-U.S. ties back on right track

BEIJING, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — As leaders from the world’s 20 largest economies gathered on the Indonesian island of Bali for the G20 Summit, the face-to-face meeting between the leaders of China and the United States attracted global attention.

On Monday afternoon, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden sat down for their first in-person talks since the latter took office in January 2021.

In his opening remarks, Xi told Biden that from the initial contact and the establishment of diplomatic relations to today, China and the United States have gone through 50-plus eventful years, with gains and losses as well as experience and lessons.

“History is the best textbook,” said Xi. “We should take it as a mirror and let it guide the future.”

The Chinese president said he was ready to work with his U.S. counterpart to bring China-U.S. relations back to the track of healthy and stable growth to the benefit of the two countries and the world as a whole.

Xi urges statesmanship in age of change

The highly anticipated meeting took place at a time of turbulence in the China-U.S. relationship.

The current state of China-U.S. relations is neither in the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples, nor what the international community expects, Xi said.

As leaders of two major countries, we need to play a leadership role, set the right course for the China-U.S. relationship and put it on an upward trajectory, he added.

“A statesman should think about and know where to lead his country,” the Chinese president said to Biden. “He should also think about and know how to get along with other countries and the wider world.”

Noting that great changes are unfolding in ways like never before in today’s world, Xi said humanity is confronted with unprecedented challenges.

“The world expects that China and the United States will properly handle their relationship,” he said.

The two countries should work with all other nations to bring more hope to world peace, greater confidence in global stability, and stronger impetus to common development, Xi stressed.

Biden, who spoke first, said the United States and China can find ways to work together to address pressing global issues like climate change and food insecurity.

Monday’s meeting was the sixth conversation between the two presidents.

Xi said though the two leaders have remained in communication via video-conferences, phone calls and letters, none of them are a real substitute for face-to-face exchanges.

CGTN: Digital economy becomes new growth engine for China and other G20 members

BEIJING, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Three years into the COVID pandemic, the world economy, while facing mounting uncertainties and challenges, has undergone profound changes, with the digital evolution accelerated and the digital economy emerging as a new engine for economic recovery and growth.

The digital economy refers to a broad range of economic activities that include using digitized information and knowledge as the key factor of production, modern information networks as an important activity space, and the effective use of information and communication technology (ICT) as an important driver of productivity growth and economic structural optimization, according to the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative agreed at 2016 G20 Hangzhou summit.

In 2021, the added value of the digital economy of 47 major countries around the world reached $38.1 trillion, up 15.6 percent from a year earlier, accounting for 45 percent of their combined GDP, according to a white paper released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) in July 2022.

Among them, the G20 members, which represent more than 85 percent of the global GDP, 75 percent of the international trade and 60 percent of the world’s population, lead the world in the development of digital economy.

The U.S., with a digital economy worth $15.3 trillion, ranked first in the world. China came second with its digital economy reaching $7.1 trillion. The European Union took the third place with a value of $6.3 trillion.

In terms of the digital economy’s share in GDP, Germany, Britain and the U.S. ranked among the top three, all exceeding 65 percent.

G20 consensus on digital economy

At the 2016 G20 Summit held in Hangzhou, China, as the rotating presidency, included digital economy as an important topic in the summit for the first time. The country also led the formulation and release of the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative, which was the first digital economy policy document endorsed by the G20 leaders.

The document proposed seven guiding principles for the development of digital economy, namely innovation, partnership, synergy, flexibility, inclusion, open and enabling business environment, flow of information for economic growth, trust and security.

It also identified six key areas for cooperation in digital economy, including expanding broadband access and improving quality; promoting investment in the ICT sector; supporting entrepreneurship and promoting digital transformation; encouraging e-commerce cooperation; enhancing digital inclusion and promoting development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

China’s booming digital economy

China’s digital economy reached $7.1 trillion in 2021, accounting for 39.8 percent of the country’s GDP, according to a white paper released by the CAICT.

From 2012 to 2021, the average growth rate of China’s digital economy was 15.9 percent, and the digital economy’s share in its GDP increased from 21.6 percent to 39.8 percent, the white paper showed.

The digital economy’s role as a stabilizer and an accelerator of China’s overall economy has become more prominent, said the white paper.

As of June 2022, China had 1.05 billion internet users, forming the world’s largest and most dynamic digital society.

The country has also built the world’s largest 5G networks, with 1.97 million 5G base stations by the end of July.

While China’s digital economy is booming and becoming an increasingly important growth engine for its economic development, the country is also offering more opportunities for international companies to grow in the Chinese market and witnessing active cooperation with G20 members in the field.

In June, German company Siemens set up its first Smart Infrastructure Digitalization Enablement Center in China, exploring collaboration with domestic firms in smart infrastructure.

U.S. tech giant IBM, with its cloud-based services, has been actively cooperating with Chinese companies in their digital transformation.

China is also working with Brazil in protecting the Amazon rainforest ecosystem with digital technologies.

Al-Mandalawi stresses the need to abolish the tax on mobile phone recharge cards

Baghdad The First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, stressed the need to abolish the tax imposed on credit cards for mobile phones, which caused the cost of communications to increase for citizens during the past years.

In a letter addressed to the Minister of Finance, he said: In the 2015 budget, the government had previously imposed a tax on mobile phone charging cards due to the budget deficit at the time, as a result of the drop in oil prices and our war against terrorism, and given the high oil prices, and the absence of compelling reasons for imposing this tax at the present time, it must be cancelled.

Al-Mandalawi added: The tax imposed on phone recharge cards has burdened citizens, especially those with limited income.

In a related context, the Ministry of Communications addressed the Cabinet Secretariat with a request to abolish the tax imposed on phone recharge cards.

The Minister of Communications, Hiyam Al-Yasiri, confirmed that the House of Representatives is determined to abolish the charge card tax, stressing the need to present it to the Council of Ministers for the purpose of voting to include its abolition in the 2023 budget.
