If loss and damage does not get on the agenda, COP fails

We have entered a new era of loss and damage from human-induced climate change. Therefore, finance for loss and damage must be on the agenda of the upcoming COP27 – or the climate summit will have failed before it officially starts. The Global Shield being co-developed between the G7 and V20 can certainly offer help, but it is not enough. We need a more comprehensive Finance Facility for loss and damage to be established at this COP.

'Mr. Scholz, please do not travel to China'

Chinese intellectuals, dissidents and celebrities from all over the world, 186 in number, have signed an open letter to Olaf Scholz. In it, they ask the chancellor to cancel his trip to Beijing planned for Thursday. China under President Xi Jinping has developed into a Nazi-style dictatorship, they say. In addition to dozens of exiles, many Chinese from the People's Republic also support the initiative by name. Regardless of the risk of potential government repression, they wish to take up their social responsibility, the authors stated. China.Table publishes the letter exclusively.

Opinion

Our relations with China

Chinese acquisitions of German companies need to be handled far more restrictively in the future. After all, China exploits all international relations for its greatest benefit. So if the German chancellor is already traveling to China at this time, the talks must also address global political issues beyond trade matters.

Xi and his fear of free questions

Power has changed Xi Jinping. Whereas he used to give candid interviews, every encounter with the press is now carefully scripted down to the last detail. This was also evident at the recent People's Congress, where he presented himself to the public as the personified power of the CP.

Help before the damage happens

Together with the most vulnerable countries, the G7 agreed on a draft for a "global shield" against climate damage. The goal must be to assume joint responsibility and protect people worldwide against poverty caused by climate risks.
