COP28: A Diverse Array of Hopes and Challenges

The recent culmination of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change marked both progress and unresolved concerns. Among strides were the unveiling of a $30 billion climate investment fund by the UAE and commitments from major oil companies to decarbonize, yet overall ambition and effectiveness of agreements were questioned.


UAE led the charge with ALTERRA, aiming to mobilize $30 billion for renewable energy and climate-resilient agriculture in developing nations. Concurrently, fifty oil giants pledged decarbonization by 2050, yet criticism arose for insufficient ambition.

Additionally, a landmark pledge by 118 nations aimed to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, albeit without backing from India and China. Simultaneously, discussions on expanding nuclear energy capacity globally by 2050 progressed.

Despite achievements, challenges loomed. Fossil fuel influence in negotiations sparked concern, while the COP28 draft was deemed not stringent enough to meet Paris Agreement targets. Developing nations sought increased climate finance for phasing out fossil fuels and embracing renewables.

COP28 offers a platform for continued discourse and action, but the road ahead necessitates a translation of commitments into tangible global climate action.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924. High school girls wearing gas masks marching in a parade in Japan in 1944.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
