	<description>The Durban Group for Climate Justice is an international network of independent organisations, individuals and people&#039;s movements who reject the free market approach to climate change.  We are committed to provide a platform for discussion and advance analysis on climate justice.  We aim to help build global grassroots movements for climate justice, mobilise communities around the world and pledge our solidarity with people opposing carbon trading on the ground.</description>

Will the host city for the November-December world climate summit, the COP17, clean up its act? Last Tuesday’s launch of a major Academy of Science of South Africa (Assaf) report, Towards a Low Carbon City: Focus on Durban – http://www.assaf.org.za/2011/08/durban-on-a-pathway-towards-a-low-carbon-city/ – offers an early chance to ]]></description>

There’s no way around it: to solve the worsening climate crisis requires we must accept both that the vast majority of fossil fuels must now be left underground, and that through democratic planning, we must collectively reboot our energy, transport, agricultural, production, consumption and disposal systems so that by 2050 we experience good living with less than a quarter of our current levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

Think ahead five months, but first, back last month.

Judging by what transpired at last week’s global climate negotiations in the former West German capital, Bonn, it appears certain that in just over five months time, the South African port city of Durban will host a conference of procrastinators, the ‘COP 17’ (Conference of Parties), dooming the earth to ]]></description>

South Africa’s most vocal neoliberal politician, Trevor Manuel, is apparently being seriously considered as co-chair of the Green Climate Fund. On April 28-29 in Mexico City, Manuel and other elites meet to design the world’s biggest-ever replenishing pool of aid money: a promised $100 billion of annual grants by ]]></description>

Southern Africa Report, 18 April 2011
 
Hosting the Durban COP17 – let’s rename it the ‘Conference of Polluters’ – starting in late November puts quite a burden on the African National Congress government in Pretoria: to pretend to be pro-green.
Embarrassingly, last week’s US Export-Import Bank loan of $805 million to South Africa will ]]></description>

At the past two United Nations Kyoto Protocol’s ‘Conference of the Parties’ (COPs) climate summits, Copenhagen in 2009 and Cancún in 2010, as well as at prior meetings such as Nairobi, how did South African leaders and negotiators perform?
Sadly, they regularly let down their constituents, their African colleagues as ]]></description>

The South Africa’s new National Climate Change Response Green Paper (http://www.climateresponse.co.za) gives a sense of the contradictions. Released in late 2010, it contains the kinds of contradictions that required extreme greenwashing to distract its citizens from concern about:

South Africa’s crust was drill-pocked with abandon since Kimberley diamonds were found in 1867 and then Witwatersrand (Johannesburg) gold was unearthed in 1886. But the world’s interest in how we trash our environment perked up again last week for two reasons:
