To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.

In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.

China’s green energy miracle and a conspiracy of silence - Coda Story

With Beijing indispensable to the global transition away from fossil fuels, questions are no longer being asked about the human cost

🏘 Wie kann Klimaschutz im Mietwohnungssektor soziale Gerechtigkeit und Bezahlbarkeit berücksichtigen?

Diskutieren Sie dazu auf unserer Jubiläumstagung unter anderem mit Anna Wolff, Mitglied des @DMBMieterbund

📅 9. Oktober 2025 | 9:00–17:30 Uhr, anschließend Get Together
📍 ZK/U – Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik, Berlin
Details und Anmeldung: https://www.ioew.de/veranstaltung/wandel-am-limit-und-jetzt

#40ioew#JustTransition#Gerechtigkeit#Nachhaltigkeitsforschung

Das Sharepic zeigt ein Foto und Zitat von Anna Wolff, die Mitglied des Deutschen Mieterbundes ist. Sie ist Panelistin der explorativen Tagung "Wandel am Limit. Und jetzt?" zu 40 Jahren IÖW und VÖW am 9. Oktober 2025.
Melden Sie sich jetzt an und diskutieren Sie mit. Das Zitat von Anna Wolff lautet: „Jeder 3. Mieterhaushalt ist durch 
seine Wohnkosten überlastet, Energie-
kosten können schnell zur zweiten Miete werden. Ein sozialverträglich ausgestalteter Klimaschutz im Mietwohnungssektor kann Ungleichheiten verringern und zu bezahlbaren Wohnkosten beitragen.“

#Orwell wrote about the #JustTransition in 1947 ("Toward European Unity"):

«The European peoples, and especially the British, have long owed their high standard of life to direct or indirect exploitation of the coloured peoples. [...] But it is by no means certain that we can afford these things if we throw away the advantages we derive from colonial exploitation. [...] a long and uncomfortable reconstruction period for which public opinion has nowhere been prepared.»

Imperialism. The European peoples, and especially the British, have long owed their high standard of life to direct or indirect exploitation of the coloured peoples. This relationship has never been made clear by official Socialist propaganda, and the British worker, instead of being told that, by world standards, he is living above his income, has been taught to think of himself as an overworked, down-trodden slave. To the masses everywhere ‘Socialism’ means, or at least is associated with, higher wages, shorter hours, better houses, all-round social insurance, etc. etc. But it is by no means certain that we can afford these things if we throw away the advantages we derive from colonial exploitation. However evenly the national income is divided up, if the income as a whole falls, the working-class standard of living must fall with it. At best there is liable to be a long and uncomfortable reconstruction period for which public opinion has nowhere been prepared.
