This #COP27 caused deep frustrations, but it wasn’t for nothing. It achieved a significant breakthrough for the most vulnerable countries.

COP27 was always the "Loss & Damage COP" and parties dug deep to deliver.
The Loss & Damage Fund was a dream at #COP26 last year.

Now it is enshrined & on track to start running in 2023.

A lot of work to go on the detail, but the principle is in place & that is a significant mindset shift as climate impacts start to bite.
Onto #COP28. We know the challenge:

The fossil lobby's fingerprints are everywhere in the agreement as they battle the inescapable phase-out of their billion $ subsidies.

This term, "phase out", failed to make the final text.

We all have a target for next year.

The @UN #HLEGReport on Net-zero Emissions Committments is out
The problem though: #IPCC 1.5C pathways don't reach net zero GHG emissions by "2050 or sooner", but by the end of the century. The famous "net zero by 2050" (better "early 2050s) is CO2 only

You might be in disbelief, but have a look at the #IPCC AR6 WG3 Summary for Policymakers, Table SPM.2:
For 1.5C with no or limited overshoot (category C1), pathways reach net-zero CO2 in 2050-2055, but net-zero GHG in 2095-2100

The difference between net-zero CO2 and net-zero GHG can be explained by the dominant role of non-CO2 GHGs (methane, nitrous oxide, f-gases) in residual emissions and the dominant role of CO2 in removals
