Source text - English Climate change and biodiversity
Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the most important challenges we face, and these interconnect in many ways.
Even though life on Earth has always been evolving in a changing climate, the relative stability over recent millennia has provided favourable conditions for both wildlife and human civilisations. Many plants and animals have adapted to specific temperatures or water availability. But with those now changing due to rapid warming, many species will not be able to adapt in time. Some species, especially those in polar and mountain regions, have nowhere to escape the rising temperatures and so face extinction. Moreover, altered climate signals like the early onset of spring interfere with seasonal activities, such as blooming or mating, with these disruptions having knock-on effects in the food chain and ecosystems.
Wildfires, heat waves and other extreme weather events devastate entire ecosystems, both on land and in the ocean. Recovering from these one-off events, which are growing in intensity and frequency, is also more and more difficult. The stress induced by climate change, both acute and chronic, only further exacerbates other risks – for example, from cutting down forests, or air, water and soil pollution, excessive hunting and fishing, or the spread of invasive species, and so on.
Additionally, nature has always been crucial in relieving the pressure caused by humans on the global climate. More than half of all CO2 emissions from our activity is captured by plants through photosynthesis and temporarily stored in living and dead biomass, or dissolved in the ocean. Living organisms also affect the physical parameters of the climate system, such as land surface reflectivity and the formation of clouds and dust in the atmosphere.
Healthy and diverse ecosystems therefore can help humans survive climate impacts such as extreme weather – for instance, intact forests retain rainwater and reduce damage from flooding, whereas coastal wetlands prevent erosion and flooding from sea-level rise. Ecosystems can also help us adapt to the changing climate, supporting livelihoods and creating sustainable food and energy solutions for local communities.
Important though it is, protecting biodiversity from climate change is not just about preserving beautiful living things for their own sake. Coral reefs, threatened by more frequent marine heat waves, support lots of fishing livelihoods. Forests hold economic and cultural value for countless local communities. Furthermore, as ongoing warming and environmental degradation erode the carbon-storing capacity of natural ecosystems, there is a significant and increasing risk of feedback loops, making an already bad situation worse.
The IPCC and IPBES (the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services), have concluded that biodiversity loss and climate change are inseparable threats to humanity that must be addressed together. If we fail to do so, we risk irreversible losses and damages. But, on the other hand, success will mean additional benefits for our health and quality of life.
What does projected warming mean for biodiversity?
The 2022 IPCC Working Group II report on impacts and adaptation goes into great detail on what would happen to plants, animals and whole ecosystems in different scenarios of warming. For example, marine and coastal ecosystems, such as kelp forests or seagrass meadows, will be irreversibly damaged or destroyed if temperature rise exceeds the 1.5°C threshold. Coral reefs alone face a decline of 70-90% at this level of warming, while at 2°C the decline is projected to reach 99%. Conservation efforts for most coral reefs will have little success past 1.5°C of warming. Beyond average temperature increase, ocean and coastal ecosystems are also threatened by marine heat waves, which are projected to become 20 times more frequent even if warming is limited to 2°C.
Translation - French Changement climatique et biodiversité
Le changement climatique et la perte de biodiversité figurent parmi les plus importants défis auxquels nous sommes confrontés, et ils interagissent de bien des façons.
Bien que la vie sur Terre ait toujours été caractérisée par le changement du climat, la stabilité relative des derniers millénaires a créé des conditions favorables pour la faune, la flore et les civilisations humaines. Les plantes et les animaux se sont largement adaptés à des températures spécifiques et à la disponibilité de l’eau. Or, comme ces conditions évoluent rapidement à cause du réchauffement, nombre d’espèces ne seront pas en mesure de s’adapter à temps. Certaines espèces, en particulier celles des régions polaires et montagneuses, n’ont aucune possibilité d’échapper à la montée des températures et risquent de disparaître. De plus, la modification des signaux climatiques, le printemps qui arrive en avance par exemple, perturbe les activités saisonnières, comme la floraison ou la reproduction. Ces perturbations s’accompagnent elles-mêmes de répercussions sur la chaîne alimentaire et les écosystèmes.
Les feux de forêt, les vagues de chaleur et d’autres phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes détruisent des écosystèmes tout entiers, que ce soit sur terre ou en mer. L’intensité et la fréquence de ces phénomènes ne cessent de s’amplifier, et il devient de plus en plus difficile de s’en remettre. La tension induite par le changement climatique, aussi importante que chronique, ne fait qu’aggraver d’autres risques, notamment issus de l’abattage de forêts, de la pollution de l’air, de l’eau et des sols, de la chasse et de la pêche excessives ou de la prolifération des espèces invasives.
La nature a par ailleurs toujours joué un rôle essentiel lorsqu’il s’agit de réduire la pression sur le climat mondial d’origine humaine. Plus de la moitié de toutes les émissions de CO2 issues de notre activité est capturée par les plantes grâce à la photosynthèse. Elles sont ensuite temporairement stockées dans la biomasse vivante et morte, ou dissoutes dans l’océan. Les organismes vivants influencent aussi les paramètres physiques du système climatique, comme la réflectivité des surfaces ou la formation des nuages et de la poussière dans l’atmosphère.
La présence d’écosystèmes variés et en bonne santé peut donc nous aider à survivre aux conséquences climatiques comme les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Par exemple, quand elles sont intactes, les forêts retiennent l’eau de pluie et réduisent l’ampleur des dommages provoqués par les inondations. Les zones humides côtières, quant à elles, préviennent l’érosion et les inondations engendrées par l’élévation du niveau de la mer. Les écosystèmes peuvent aussi nous aider à nous adapter à l’évolution du climat, à subvenir à nos besoins et créer des solutions durables pour l’alimentation et l’énergie de chaque communauté.
Malgré toute son importance, protéger la biodiversité contre le changement climatique ne se résume pas qu’à préserver de magnifiques êtres vivants. Sans les récifs coralliens, aujourd’hui menacés par des vagues de chaleur marines de plus en plus fréquentes, un grand nombre de pêcheurs ne pourront plus vivre de leur travail. Les forêts détiennent une valeur économique et culturelle pour de multiples communautés locales. De plus, le réchauffement et la dégradation environnementale actuels nuisent gravement à la capacité de stockage du carbone des écosystèmes naturels. Tout risque donc d’aller de mal en pis, car la probabilité d’apparition de boucles de rétroaction s’accroît.
Le GIEC et l’IPBES (la Plateforme intergouvernementale scientifique et politique sur la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques) ont conclu que la perte de biodiversité et le changement climatique sont des menaces indissociables, auxquelles l’humanité doit formuler une réponse commune. Si nous échouons, nous subirons des pertes et dommages irréversibles. Mais si nous réussissons, les bienfaits sur notre santé et notre qualité de vie seront palpables.
Quelles sont les conséquences du réchauffement projeté pour la biodiversité ?
Le rapport de 2022 du Groupe de travail II du GIEC sur les conséquences et l’adaptation détaille précisément ce qui arrivera aux plantes, aux animaux et aux écosystèmes entiers selon différents scénarios de réchauffement. Par exemple, les écosystèmes marins et côtiers, comme les forêts de varech ou les prairies sous-marines, subiront des dommages irréversibles, voire seront détruits, si la hausse des températures dépasse le seuil de 1,5°C. 70 à 90 % des récifs coralliens risquent de disparaître à ce niveau de réchauffement. À 2°C ce chiffre passe à 99%. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, les efforts de conservation resteront vains au-delà de 1,5°C de réchauffement. En dehors de l’augmentation de la température moyenne, les écosystèmes océaniques et côtiers sont également menacés par les vagues de chaleur marines. Or, même si nous réussissons à limiter le réchauffement à 2°C celles-ci devraient être multipliées par 20.

Source text - English Changing of the Guard: the New Hubs of Gas Extraction in Africa
A seismic shift is on the horizon for gas extraction in Africa, with many of the new pre-production fields proposed in countries that historically have not exploited fossil fuels, a trend that would run counter to the global scientific consensus calling for a halt to the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure.
Global Energy Monitor’s (GEM) Global Oil and Gas Extraction Tracker (GOGET) includes data on 421 extraction projects, with 79 fields in the pre-production stages. While historically Nigeria, Egypt, Libya, and Algeria have had the most proven gas reserves and production, data in GOGET show that 84 percent of new reserves in pre-production are located in recent entrants to Africa’s gas market—Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, Mauritania, South Africa, Ethiopia, and Morocco.
These new reserves total more than 5137.5 billion cubic meters (bcm), with potential emissions equaling about 11.9 billion tons of CO2, with production from many of these fields facing opposition due to the potential impacts to local ecosystems and communities.
These countries are expected to drive gas development volumes in the near term, with ‘Mozambique, Mauritania, Tanzania, South Africa, and Ethiopia accounting for more than half of Africa’s gas production by 2038.’ If industry plans for this wave of new gas field extraction projects are allowed to proceed, Africa’s gas production would increase by a third by 2030. An estimated US$329 billion greenfield investment is required for the development of both gas extraction and export infrastructure.
Yet most of these gas field developments are destined for export, doing little to address low electrification rates across the continent, while also exposing Africa’s energy mix to the volatility of gas markets. African investment in the development of extraction infrastructure in previously undeveloped areas will likely lead to serious impacts on locals’ health and the environment, while exacerbating climate change and reducing Africa’s ability to invest in its own energy transition and the electrification of its communities.
This briefing details the emerging players in Africa’s gas market, the key fields proposed for development, and the cost and ownership structure of this buildout and concludes that the export orientation of gas developments will do little to address the challenges Africa faces in achieving universal access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy.
Translation - French Les nouveaux centres d’extraction d’Afrique
En Afrique, l’extraction gazière évolue : nombre de nouveaux sites de préproduction sont proposés dans des pays qui jusqu’ici n’exploitaient pas les combustibles fossiles. Cette tendance s’inscrit en opposition du consensus scientifique mondial qui prône l’arrêt de la construction de nouvelles infrastructures d’exploitation de combustibles fossiles.
Le tracker de l’extraction mondiale de gaz et de pétrole (GOGET) de Global Energy Monitor (GEM) recense des données sur 421 projets d’extraction, dont 79 aux étapes de préproduction. Traditionnellement, ce sont au Nigéria, en Égypte, en Libye et en Algérie que se trouvent les réserves et les sites de production de gaz les plus prouvés. Néanmoins, les données du GOGET montrent que 84 pour cent des nouvelles réserves en préproduction se situent chez de nouveaux entrants sur le marché du gaz africain : le Mozambique, le Sénégal, la Tanzanie, la Mauritanie, l’Afrique du Sud, l’Éthiopie et le Maroc.
Ces nouvelles réserves se chiffrent à plus de 5 137,5 milliards de mètres cubes (mmc), qui généreraient environ 11,9 milliards de tonnes d’émission de CO2. Aussi, les répercussions potentielles sur les communautés et écosystèmes locaux alimentent l’opposition à la production sur ces champs.
Sur le court terme, ces pays devraient stimuler le développement des activités gazières, car « le Mozambique, la Mauritanie, la Tanzanie, l’Afrique du Sud et l’Éthiopie représenteront plus de la moitié de la production gazière de l’Afrique d’ici 2038 ». Si tous ces nouveaux projets d’exploitation de champs gaziers sont sanctionnés, la production de gaz africaine augmenterait d’un tiers d’ici 2030. Le développement de l’extraction gazière et de l’infrastructure d’exportation nécessiterait un investissement sur site vierge de 329 milliards de dollars.
Or, comme la grande majorité de ces développements de champs gaziers est destinée à l’exportation, ils n’auront que peu d’effet sur le faible taux d’électrification du continent. Le mix énergétique de l’Afrique, quant à lui, sera exposé à la volatilité des marchés du gaz. L’investissement africain dans le développement d’infrastructures d’extraction sur des sites vierges s’accompagnera certainement de graves conséquences pour la santé et l’environnement des populations locales. Le changement climatique risque de s’aggraver, alors que la capacité d’investissement de l’Afrique dans sa propre transition énergétique et l’électrification de ses communautés sera plus faible.
Ce résumé présente les acteurs émergents du marché du gaz africain, les champs clés dont l’exploitation est proposée, mais aussi le coût et la structure de propriété des projets. Pour conclure, il montre qu’à cause de la destination des exportations de ces sites gaziers, l’Afrique en retirera des bénéfices très limités lorsqu’il s’agit d’offrir l’accès à des énergies propres, abordables et fiables à tous.

Source text - English PPCA DECLARATION
In 2015, the world gathered in Paris and committed to take action to spur on clean growth and avoid catastrophic climate change.
Coal-fired power plants produce almost 40 percent of global electricity today, making carbon pollution from coal a leading contributor to climate change.
The health effects of air pollution from burning coal, including respiratory diseases and premature deaths, impose massive costs in both human and economic terms. Analysis has found that more than 800,000 people die each year around the world from the pollution generated by burning coal.
As a result, phasing out unabated coal power is one of the most important steps governments can take to tackle climate change and meet our commitment to keep global temperature increase well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C.
To meet the Paris Agreement, analysis shows that coal phase-out is needed no later than by 2030 in the OECD and EU28, and no later than by 2040 in the rest of the world.
The cost of generating electricity from wind and solar have plummeted; with the result that clean power is the low-cost option in a growing number of jurisdictions worldwide. Global investments in new renewable power now significantly surpass those in new coal-fired electricity, and clean growth represents an opportunity worth trillions of dollars.
Countries moving to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies are already seeing environmental, economic and human health benefits. Our coalition wants to help accelerate that transition.
The Powering Past Coal Alliance brings together a diverse range of governments, businesses and organisations that are united in taking action to accelerate clean growth and climate protection through the rapid phase-out of unabated coal power.
We commit to achieve that phase-out in a sustainable and economically inclusive way, including appropriate support for workers and communities.
More specifically:
• Government members commit to phasing out existing unabated coal power generation and to a moratorium on any new coal power stations without operational carbon capture and storage, within their jurisdictions.
• Business and other non-government members commit to powering their operations without coal.
• All members commit to supporting clean power generation through their policies (whether public or corporate, as appropriate) and investments, and to restricting financing for unabated coal power generation, i.e. without carbon capture and storage.
To support these goals, the members of the Powering Past Coal Alliance will work together to share real-world examples and best practices to support the phase-out of unabated coal, including through climate financing, and to adopt practical initiatives to support this transition, including through developing clean energy plans and targets.
We will also encourage our peers to join us in the Powering Past Coal Alliance to build a better world for our kids and grandkids.
Translation - French DÉCLARATION DE LA PPCA
En 2015, le monde s’est réuni à Paris pour s’engager à prendre des mesures visant à générer une croissance propre et à éviter un changement climatique catastrophique.
Les centrales à charbon produisent près de 40 pour cent de l’électricité mondiale aujourd’hui ; la pollution par le dioxyde de carbone issu du charbon constitue donc l’un des principaux responsables du changement climatique.
La pollution de l’air provoquée par la combustion du charbon entraîne des répercussions sur la santé, notamment des maladies respiratoires et des décès prématurés, aux coûts très importants, tant en termes humains qu’économiques. Au niveau mondial, 800 000 décès chaque année seraient issus de la pollution générée par la combustion du charbon.
Par conséquent, la suppression progressive du recours intensif au charbon représente l’une des mesures les plus importantes que peut prendre un gouvernement : pour faire face au changement climatique, respecter notre engagement de maintenir l’augmentation des températures mondiales bien en dessous de 2 °C et s’efforcer de la limiter à 1,5 °C.
Pour respecter l’Accord de Paris, selon cette analyse, la suppression progressive du charbon doit intervenir avant 2030 dans l’OCDE et l’UE, et avant 2040 dans le reste du monde.
Le coût de la production solaire et éolienne d’électricité a chuté. Ainsi, l’énergie propre s’impose désormais comme l’option la plus économique dans un nombre croissant de juridictions de notre planète. Au niveau mondial, les nouveaux investissements dans les énergies renouvelables dépassent aujourd’hui de loin ceux dans l’électricité issue de la combustion du charbon, tandis que la croissance propre représente une opportunité d’investissement qui se chiffre à des milliers de milliards de dollars américains.
Les pays dont les économies tendent vers la résilience climatique et les faibles émissions de carbone constatent déjà les effets positifs sur l’environnement, l’économie et la santé humaine. Notre coalition désire contribuer à l’accélération de cette transition.
L’Alliance : Énergiser au-delà du charbon (Powering Past Coal Alliance ou PPCA) rassemble un large éventail de gouvernements, d’entreprises et d’organisations, ayant en commun la volonté d’agir pour accélérer la croissance propre et la protection climatique par le biais d’une suppression rapide du recours intensif au charbon.
Nous nous engageons à réussir cette suppression progressive de façon durable et inclusive sur le plan économique, notamment par un soutien adéquat de la population active et des communautés.
Plus précisément :
• Les gouvernements adhérents s’engagent à supprimer progressivement la production d’électricité issue du recours intensif au charbon et à instaurer un moratoire sur les nouvelles centrales à charbon dépourvues d’un système de captage et de stockage du carbone fonctionnel, au sein de leur territoire.
• Les entreprises et autres adhérents non gouvernementaux s’engagent à ne pas avoir recours au charbon dans leurs activités.
• Tous les adhérents s’engagent à soutenir la production d’électricité propre au travers de leurs politiques (qu’elles soient publiques ou privées) et investissements, et à limiter les financements pour la production d’électricité issue du recours intensif au charbon, c’est-à-dire sans système de captage et de stockage.
Pour parvenir à ces objectifs, les adhérents de l’Alliance : Énergiser au-delà du charbon collaborent et partagent des exemples réels et des bonnes pratiques pour soutenir la suppression progressive du recours intensif au charbon, notamment par le biais du financement climatique. Ils mettent aussi en place des actions concrètes en soutien à cette transition, y compris grâce à l’élaboration de programmes et d’objectifs liés à l’énergie propre.
Nous encouragerons également nos pairs à nous rejoindre au sein de l’Alliance : Énergiser au-delà du charbon pour construire un monde meilleur pour nos enfants et nos petits-enfants.
