We must mobilize water, but also manage it well\u201d for human use, said Janua\u0301rio Nascimento, president of the Association for the Defense of the Environment and Development (ADAD).<\/p>\n<p>The problem is not exclusive to Cape Verde, \u201cit is a global issue\u201d, he said, which he considers to be affected by the failure to fulfill financing promises, after 28 summits.<\/p>\n<p>For more than a decade, the most fragile countries have been asking for support, estimated at 100 billion dollars annually, for the transition to a world with fewer greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom COP to COP there have been several promises, but these millions do not reach Cape Verde\u201d, said Janua\u0301rio Nascimento.<\/p>\n<p>The environmentalist said that there are too many meetings and too little action, arguing that climate summits \u201cshould be reduced\u201d and held \u201cevery two years\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The problem of water scarcity is also highlighted by the environmental association Quercus Cabo Verde.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to know how to live with drought and climate change\u201d, said Paulo Ferreira, president of the organization, to Lusa, considering that \u201cthere are no longer any excuses\u201d for not using resources better, considering environmental education essential.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, climate change is \u201can existential threat for the country, which faces important environmental challenges, such as water scarcity, environmental contamination and pollution, and the loss of biodiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Cape Verde&#8217;s participation in COP28 is seen by Quercus as \u201can important opportunity for the country to position itself as a leader in climate action\u201d, showing, for example, how debt conversion can support climate financing \u2013 a model agreement signed this year in which Portugal forgave 12 million euros of Cape Verde&#8217;s debt to place them in the archipelago&#8217;s Environmental Climate Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Janua\u0301rio Nascimento considered that Cape Verde has taken \u201cimportant steps\u201d to promote the energy transition, \u201csometimes with exaggeration\u201d, as when he predicted to have 100% of electricity from renewable sources in 2025, he recalled, the target, however, reduced to 50 % and pushed to 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been a mismatch in numbers\u201d, but \u201cthere is work done and a great effort\u201d, because, otherwise, the energy for consumption by electric cars \u201cis fossil energy\u201d, generated in power plants that burn fuel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to take into account that mobilizing resources for these [renewable] areas costs a lot: we need technically well-designed projects\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent UN report indicates that the world needs to cut 42% of emissions by 2030 to respect the 1.5\u00b0C warming ceiling, a target assumed in 2015 in the Paris Agreement on reducing emissions.<\/p>\n<p>COP28 will take place between November 30th and December 12th, in Dubai, the main city of the United Arab Emirates, with the ambition of making the first global assessment of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/cape-verde\">Cape verde<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
