BELEM (Brazil) – COP 30 has once again proved to be a flop, as was the case with COP 29 last year in Baku, Azerbaijan (as we wrote here). This time, the United Nations Conference of the Parties on climate change — held in Belem, Brazil, a few days ago — almost collapsed, but a compromise was ultimately reached: a final political agreement was unanimously approved by the 195 states that participated in the conference (with Donald Trump’s United States absent). But it’s a sham agreement: there is no explicit reference to a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. →
Canadian National Multilingual Newsgroup
Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.
