It's been a pleasure to assist once again the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change with interpretation at COP28 of the UNFCCC. Thank you indeed for counting on us to support you in your commendable efforts to contribute to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.
As you probably know, words matter at COP negotiations; for instance, to distinguish between knowledge of indigenous peoples and local knowledge or transitioning away from fossil fuels as stated in the COP28 cover text and phasing out of fossil fuels as recommended by many countries, CSOs and scientists.
Any suggestions to translate the latter with the right nuances into your working languages?
Dear German-speaking colleagues, there you have my humble suggestions!
Übergang weg von fossilen Brennstoffen = transitioning away from fossil fuels
allmählicher Abbau fossiler Brennstoffe = phasing out of fossil fuels.
Wishing you all HAPPY HOLYDAYS!!!
