At the UN climate negotiations on Tuesday, rich&nbsp;polluters were chastised by developing nations for failing to do enough to assist them in coping with global warming. The EU, however, promised to accelerate its emission reductions.&nbsp;

Calls for wealthier nations to fulfil commitments to finance the green transitions of poorer countries that are least responsible for global emissions, support their development of resilience, and compensate them for losses related to climate change have dominated the COP27 meeting in Egypt.&nbsp;

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, the COP27 president, said technical roadblocks were impeding progress toward higher-level political conversations on a variety of subjects during a meeting to wrap off Tuesday's negotiations.

Addressing the delegates, he said, "Progress has been made, but there is unquestionably more to be done if we are to reach the robust objectives that will drive ambitious, inclusive climate action."

The gathering takes place at a time when CO2 emissions are projected to reach a record high globally this year, making the aspirational target of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels much more improbable.&nbsp;

According to Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans, the European Union will surpass its initial goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.&nbsp;

According to him, the 27-nation bloc would now be able to reduce those emissions by 57% from 1990 levels. He cited agreements on the phase-out of fossil fuel-powered cars and the preservation of forests that serve as "carbon sinks".

WION Climate Tracker | Australia: Flood crisis worsens

The world's fashion giants have pledged to trim their carbon footprint but that goal remains elusive at a time "fast fashion" is all the rage -- a topic in the spotlight at the UN climate summit. &nbsp;

With a chance to strut their climate commitments at COP27 talks, clothing brands and manufacturers discussed global warming -- but some admitted that their pledge to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by mid-century might be a stretch.&nbsp;

"Are we there yet? Of course not. Are we on track? I would say ... maybe," Stefan Seidel, senior head of sustainability at Puma, told a panel at the COP27 in the Egyptian seaside resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Greenpeace and other groups have urged the sector -- already under fire for often exploitative labour practices -- to slow down or end the wasteful trend of mass-producing low-cost clothes that are quickly thrown away.

Fast fashion, they charge, uses up massive amounts of water, produces hazardous chemicals and clogs up landfills in poor countries with textile waste, while also generating greenhouse gases in production, transport and disposal.

The fashion sector was responsible for four per cent of global emissions in 2018 -- about the same as Britain, France and Germany combined -- according to the McKinsey consultancy firm.

Some 30 firms -- from retail giants H&amp;M and Zara owner Inditex to sports apparel rivals Adidas and Nike -- signed up to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action at the COP24 summit in Poland in 2018.

At the time they pledged to cut emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 and to be net-zero emitters by mid-century.

A year ago they set the new, more ambitious goal of slashing their CO2 emissions by half by the end of the decade, with more than 100 companies now signatories to the pledge.

But meeting the target is a major challenge for an industry with long and complex supply chains that span the globe, industry insiders admit.

- 'Difficult and costly' -

Industry figures at COP27 barely mentioned the "fast fashion" business model, which critics say is at the heart of the problem, focussing instead on ideas around the use of renewable energy in factories and regulation.

But greening the entire supply chain and introducing climate-friendly standards among suppliers of raw materials and factories is a monumental task.

Leyla Ertur, head of sustainability at H&amp;M, said the Swedish firm has more than 800 suppliers.

And Marie-Claire Daveu, sustainability chief at Kering Group, which owns luxury brands Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, said: "Even us, we're not big enough to change all the supplies chains. That's why collaboration is key."

Ali Nouira, an Egyptian manufacturer, told another COP27 panel that certification bodies do not even exist in the region.

"When we manufacture, we need to have all the right certifications and the carbon footprints and all that, and for a small brand coming out from Egypt that is extremely difficult and also costly," Nouira said.

"We also manufacture for other brands, in Europe and other places," he said. "And we're pressured to have the certifications and also to go down with our prices, so they can continue to make the profits they make."

- 'Leap of faith' -

Nicholas Mazzei, head of environmental sustainability at online retailer Zalando, said there had been a culture change in developed countries, with banks offering lower interest rates to companies that commit to a net-zero target.

"If you make that transformation, you may end up paying nothing because the loans are so low the costs are basically free," Mazzei said.

But suppliers face big costs as sewing clothes in factories requires more energy than that used by retail stores at the end of the supply chain.

"We need, at a far bigger scale, more renewable energy than brands do," said Catherine Chiu, vice president of corporate quality and sustainability at Kong Kong firm Crystal International Group.

"Even if we install solar panels in all of our 20 plants, that would only represent 17 per cent of the energy consumption of the group," she said.

Delman Lee, vice chair for sustainability at TAL Apparel, another Hong Kong garment manufacturer, said it has been decarbonising its operations for a decade.

But with subsidiaries in countries including Vietnam and Ethiopia, it is complicated to navigate the different regulations, Lee said.

Aiming to become a net-zero business "is a leap of faith commitment," Lee said. "You commit to something you don't know how to achieve."

It's been some time since Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg went meta on us but if recent reports are to be considered true, the endevour of Metaverse hasn't gained pace that it was expected to. But now an island nation in the Pacific Ocean may start a new trend, not because of any pleasant reason. Tuvalu, the island country in southern Pacific Ocean, is planning to build a digital version of itself.

Reason?

Climate Change is threatening the very existence of Tuvalu. The country's foreign minister announced the metaverse plans in the ongoing COP27 climate summit.

Foreign Minister Simon Kofe it was time to look at alternative solutions for his country's survival, and that included Tuvalu becoming the first digitised nation in the metaverse – an online realm that uses augmented and virtual reality (VR) to help users interact.

Kofe gave his video address standing on a digital replica of an islet threatened by rising sea levels.

This is not the first time Kofe has hit the headlines. Last year, in COP26 summit, he addressed those present while standing in knee-deep seawater. He sought to underline threat to his nation due to rising sea levels, an effect triggered by climate change.

Tuvalu will be the first country to replicate itself in the metaverse, but follows both the city of Seoul and the island nation of Barbados, which last year said they would enter the metaverse to provide administrative and consular services, respectively.

Egypt, the host nation which holds the presidency of the COP27 summit, is reportedly struggling to find common ground between the member countries over the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

According to a BBC report, ministers have been having intense negotiations in Sharm El-Sheikh over the weekend to come out with a strong action plan on achieving the 1.5 degrees Celsius climate goal amid fears of softening the agreement on closing the emissions gap.

The Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Simon Stiell, recently revealed that no progress has been made so far.

"If we create a log jam in the process, we will not deliver an outcome that is deserving of the crisis."

Carbon Brief, a UK-based website specialising in the science and policy of climate change, has claimed that there are differences between the countries on the feasibility of the 1.5C threshold.

It is said that the unresolved differences could force Egypt to come out with a watered-down version of the commitment to the 1.5C figure, a deal that was seen as a major breakthrough in international climate ambition during the 2015 Paris Agreement.

In 2015, under the Paris Agreement, 196 countries committed to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius so that the planet can become climate neutral by 2050 – with net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

The said figure was agreed upon after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change came out with a damming report that 1.5 degrees of warming will see extreme heatwaves, oceans rising, and the destruction of 70 to 90 per cent of coral reefs.

The 1.5 degrees Celsius pledge is crucial to secure a liveable future on Earth, IPCC said.

Second&nbsp;only to the South American Amazon forest, the Boreal forest is vital to ensuring the future of planet Earth, reports AFP.&nbsp;The forest which encircles the arctic and stretches across Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and Alaska has in recent times been weakened by forest fires, the melting of permafrost, an insect infestation, warming temperatures and drifting trees.

As per AFP experts have categorically warned that “the forest is encroaching on the tundra, and the prairies are slowly taking the place of the trees.”

With the rising temperatures “drunken trees” have become a common phenomenon; trees are tilted sideways due to the melting permafrost. Eventually, the soil will completely erode and the fauna will tumble down.

Edmonton-based researcher for the natural resources ministry warns "You have the potential for large shifts," adding that some areas might be flooded and even lose forests, which can eventually turn into bogs or swamps, and lakes.

Scientists as per AFP say that for now there’s still hope for the ecosystem's continued resilience, even as they ponder whether the forest’s “tipping point”, a threshold after which emissions will be inevitable and changes to the ecosystem irreversible is approaching.

In the most recent assault on cultural works in protest against inaction on climate change, a pair of activists splashed a viscous liquid over a glass of the case housing a fake mummy.&nbsp;

The incident happened at Barcelona's Egyptian Museum on Sunday (November 13). A video of the instance was posted on the Publico news website, which showed that two activists splashed on the case and a few adjacent walls with red and brown gunge from Coca-Cola bottles.&nbsp;

The activists then held up a modified Coca-Cola banner reading "climate justice."

After being reported, the two activists cooperated with police; so neither of them was detained, however, the museum said that it will submit a claim for damages caused. The activists claimed that the purpose of their act was to emphasise the climate emergency the world is facing, AFP reported.

In the most recent assault on cultural works in protest against inaction on climate change, a pair of activists splashed a viscous liquid over a glass of the case housing a fake mummy.

In the most recent assault on cultural works in protest against inaction on climate change, a pair of activists splashed a viscous liquid over a glass of the case housing a fake mummy. The incident happened at Barcelona's Egyptian Museum on Sunday (November 13). A video of the instance was posted on the Publico news website, which showed that two activists splashed on the case and a few adjacent walls with red and brown gunge from Coca-Cola bottles.

After being reported, the two activists cooperated with police; so neither of them was detained, however, the museum said that it will submit a claim for damages caused. The activists claimed that the purpose of their act was to emphasise the climate emergency the world is facing, AFP reported. Coca-Cola, the US beverage giant is one of the COP27 climate summit's official sponsors, which is heavily criticised by environmentalists who blame it for the world's plastic waste.

Insects may be a pesky nuisance most of the time but the entire Phylum Arthropoda (just a scientific term grouping the critters) are part of a delicate balance that's life on the planet Earth. They may literally suck our blood but they also pollinate crops and help us grow food. Insects ared directly responsible for our continued presence on the blue planet.

But human-made changes like climate change are not only creating problems for us but also for insects. A new study has said that climate change may cause 65 per cent of insects that were studied to go extinct.

The study has been published in scientific journal Nature Climate Change. The study is titled "Climate-mediated shifts in temperature fluctuations promote extinction risk."&nbsp;

The study said that due to climate change, 65 per cent of the 38 species of insects that were studied will face increased risk of extinction in next 50 to 100 years.

Cold blooded insects are more susceptible to ill effects of climate change as they do not have the ability to change their body temperature in accordance with changing external temperature.&nbsp;

US Department of Defense has supported the research.

"We needed a modeling tool to understand how insect populations will be affected by variations in temperature," said &nbsp;Dr Kate Duffy, a former postdoctoral researcher at NASA's Ames Research Centre.&nbsp;

"And that's what we aimed to offer with this study: a more direct and accurate way for scientists to understand this dynamic," she added.

Climate change may kill 65 per cent of insects on Earth, says a study

Licypriya Kangujam,&nbsp;born and brought up in India, has already felt the impact of climate change. The 11-year-old asserts that rich and powerful countries like the United States have a responsibility to make up for the "loss and destruction" experienced by less powerful countries like hers.&nbsp;As one of the youngest participants in this month's United Nations climate negotiations in Egypt, Licy, as she is fondly called, is one of India's most outspoken and youngest&nbsp;climate campaigners.

“My generation is the victim of climate change, but I don’t want our future generations to face the consequences of inaction by our leaders,” she told NBC News by phone from Sharm el-Sheikh, a Red Sea resort town in Egypt, where leaders and diplomats from almost 200 countries are gathered for the summit, known as COP27.

“This is a fight for the future of our planet — our future.”

In a first, "loss and damage" payments are on the climate summit's agenda. They have been demanded&nbsp;by dozens of developing countries, many of which are in South Asia, who argue that affluent nations should foot the bill for previous emissions, which are the primary driver of current climate change. The United States, which had earlier opposed the plan, now claims to be amenable to talks.

Licy, who raised funds for her travel to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/some-countries-resisted-mentioning-15degc-goal-in-cop27-text-us-climate-envoy-533576">COP27</a> by selling tea and coffee at a market booth in New Delhi, said she intends to hold the governments there accountable.

“Our leaders keep giving beautiful speeches,” she said. “They keep blaming each other for climate change and fail to take up collective efforts."

In the eastern state of Odisha in India,&nbsp;where Licy previously resided, storm and subsequent floods claimed the lives of dozens of people. She decided to become a climate activist as a result of the calamity.

Licy and her family migrated to New Delhi the next year where she and her younger sister were able to access higher schooling thanks to the relocation, but the city's air quality, which has been dubbed the most polluted capital in the world, was&nbsp;a problem for them.

On social media platforms like Twitter, where she has more than 160,000 followers, Licy has amplified calls for climate compensation. Her advocacy has carried her all around the world. She also started the Child Movement, a club that promotes environmental awareness and "spreads information to other youngsters."

Licy's classmates have pledged not to use single-use plastic because of her, and they frequently accompany her to rallies, tree-planting activities, and waste cleanups. One of their key objectives is to make environmental education a required course of study.

COP27: Meet Licypriya Kangujam, India's youngest environmental activist who calls for climate compensation

On Saturday (November 12), hundreds of protesters enraged by the climate issue took to the streets of Lisbon, with several stormed into a building where the Portuguese Economic Minister Antonio Costa e Silva was giving a speech and demanded his resignation.&nbsp;

Chanting slogans while waving the banners, protesters called for action against climate change. The demonstrations in the country coincided as representatives from nearly 200 nations gathered in Egypt for the COP27 UN, climate summit in an effort to maintain the goal of preventing the world from climate change, Reuters reported.

Limiting the rise of global temperatures up to 1.5°C was an aspirational goal in the 2015 Paris agreement. But of the many 'what if' scenarios anticipated ever since, the most crucial 'what if' scenario concerns global food security amid rising temperatures. Israeli scientists have attempted to answer this big question to address the concerns about global food security.

Scientists in Israel are creating a gene bank from the seeds of local wild crops, some of which have survived for thousands of years since the start&nbsp;of agriculture by human civilisation&nbsp;and that may help farmers deal with a harsher climate in the coming decades.

In a eucalyptus grove nestled between an industrial zone and a new railroad under construction, botanist Alon Singer collected seeds from a number of plants recently spotted, including a variety of water mint, that will be frozen and stored at the Israel Plant Gene Bank at the Volcani Institute, the national agricultural Research and Development centre.

Resilient characteristics can be harnessed to genetically modify farmed crops so they better withstand drought or disease.

“This is where agriculture started about 10,000 years ago,” said Einav Mayzlish-Gati, director of the gene bank. “Species that were domesticated here are still in the wild adapting over the years to the changes in the environment.”

The World Bank warns that global agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Negative effects, it said, are already being felt with hotter temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and invasive crops and pests.
