Climate, Nobody´s Stuff or Common Heritage? by: Common Home of Humanity Currently under discussion within the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), fostering the deepening of mutual friendship and co-operation between its members, this conversation around the video “Climate, Nobody´s Stuff or Common Heritage?” aims to instigate a debate between member states on their perceptions of the theme ‘Stable Climate as a Common Heritage of Humankind’, with a view to a possible contribution to the climate crisis. It is intended to be a space for discussion between CPLP countries with a view to building a joint strategy within the framework of the article 13 of the Lubango Declaration entitled: ‘Environmental Emergency in the Current Context of Multiple Crises’, at the IX Meeting ff CPLP Environment Ministers (2023). https://lnkd.in/dectsaqy #cop29 #portugalcop29
