We All Win When Agroecology Is In / Todos ganamos con la agroecología (ECO 6, SB56)
13 Jun 2022
Maybe ECO is a bit obsessed with the term ‘agroecology’. Maybe – but rightly so. Agroecology is a term that should appear in a Koronivia decision because it is a working model already implemented around the world, as both a necessity and a solution to many problems. Indeed, agroecology is a science, a practice and a holistic […]
Paris Stallers Must Show the Love / Los que se quedan en París deben demostrar amor (ECO 5, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
What would you do with a partner that time and again broke their promises to you? After a while, a bad relationship must end. But what if you couldn’t leave? What if your life (or, in this case, all life on Earth) depended on making it work? This is where we stand with countries that […]
EU Parliament: No Deal NOW on Emissions Trading System Better Than a Bad Deal / Parlamento de la UE: No tener acuerdo AHORA sobre el sistema de comercio de emisiones es mejor que un mal acuerdo (ECO 5, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
The Bonn session and upcoming international gatherings, such as the G7 and the Petersberg Dialogue, are critical for getting an ambitious and just outcome at COP27. Climate impacts, rising energy prices, energy insecurity and fossil-fuel related wars demonstrate the urgent need to move quickly from fossil fuels to renewable energies to bring the world in […]
Come Dancing At The MWP Disco! / ¡Ven a bailar a la discoteca MWP! (ECO 5, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
On Tuesday ECO unexpectedly ended up in the MWP disco, an exclusive party for lovers of Mitigation Ambition and Implementation. The music was on but the room was too small and the bar was not serving drinks. The disco soon became so full that it was impossible to move and observers had to leave the […]
Spotting the G in the GST / Detectando la G en el GST (ECO 5, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
ECO is happy to share this part of our publication with the Women Gender Constituency(WGC) to help amplify their voice. This article reflects the views of the WGC. We have all been waiting for this G moment, the Global Stocktake. A number crunching exercise. A moment to calculate fairytale emissions reductions and fancy carbon budgets, […]
Don’t Miss the Global Stocktake’s Road to Action / No te pierdas el camino a la acción del Balance Global (ECO 4, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
ECO welcomes the first technical dialogue of the Global Stocktake. It is not often that such a UNFCCC technical process uses a format that fosters meaningful discussions, rather than just hearing statements. Co-designing the GST process and its inputs was the main demand of several UNFCCC constituencies, and ECO is happy that our words have been […]
Why Brazil’s Upcoming Elections are a Key Climate Event of 2022 / ¿Por qué las próximas elecciones de Brasil son un acontecimiento climático clave de 2022? (ECO 4, SB56)
11 Jun 2022
Eco is pleased to report that Brazil has so far been uncannily tame at SB56. Be it for the lack of relevant Article 6 debates or for the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming Presidential elections in October, the fact is that Brasília seems to have given their diplomats some breathing room. Generally, Brazilian negotiators are making […]
The Unsung Climate Hero – Ocean Action is Climate Action(ECO 3, SB56)
8 Jun 2022
The ocean is the greatest unsung climate hero – it is the largest ecosystem on the planet and the most important carbon sink. But ocean health is in jeopardy if we continue to misuse its carbon sink capacity as a buffer to atmospheric changes. The ocean has absorbed over 90% of the excess heat generated […]
No More Blah Blah Blah Blah, Loss and Damage Finance NOW! / ¡Se acabó el bla bla bla, la financiación de Pérdidas y Daños AHORA! (ECO 3, SB56)

On their way to Chamber Hall which yesterday hosted the 1st session of the Glasgow Dialogue, Parties were greeted by a very special welcome committee organized by various civil society groups. ECO was delighted that this message quickly found an echo in the room. AOSIS reminded the hall that the Glasgow Dialogue was not their […]
Amid Rising Prices for Food, Fuel and Fertilisers, Can Parties Afford to Ignore Agroecology? / En medio de aumentos en los precios de alimentos, combustibles y fertilizantes, ¿pueden las Partes permitirse ignorar la agroecología? (ECO 3, SB56)
8 Jun 2022
As delegates gather once again for negotiations under the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture, the current conflict in Ukraine is triggering alarming global price rises for food, fuel and fertilisers. This global crisis comes at a tragic time for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. Currently 20 million people are facing famine […]
