Innovation alone won't halt the climate crisis

摘要

COP26 was a failure. The UN climate summit was hailed as our 'last best chance' to address the climate crisis but what transpired was a series of compromises by centralised political power in deference to fossil-fuel capital. A report from Climate Action Tracker found that policies in the wake of COP26 will lead to a global temperature increase of 2.7℃ - resulting in more frequent extreme weather events, a devastating loss in biodiversity and exacerbated global poverty.
