What does November 11 mean?

This Monday, November 11, the COP29 on the climate opens in highly criticized Azerbaijan, the football match between France and Israel will be secured by 4,000 security forces after the violence in Amsterdam, and a call to green the Vendée Globe rules.

“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Monday, November 11, it is time to “show that global cooperation is not at a standstill,” declares the head of the UN Climate on the occasion of the opening of COP29 in Azerbaijan. In a country that has already planned to increase its gas and oil production, environmental defenders doubt the effectiveness of the next two weeks of negotiations between 200 delegations from around the world.

The France-Israel Nations League match scheduled for Thursday, November 14 is on track to break the record for the smallest attendance for a Blues match at the Stade de France. Only 20,000 tickets found takers, after last week's violence in Amsterdam and still against the backdrop of war between Israel and Hamas. 4,000 law enforcement officers will be mobilized for this match.

And then, as the Vendée Globe started on Sunday, skipper Stan Thuret once again denounced offshore racing “which does no good for the planet”. According to him, sailing racing is incompatible with the climate emergency.
