COP26 last year finalised the Paris Agreement, but it also gave climate diplomats a lengthy to-do list
✅A "dialogue" on loss & damage finance
✅A "work programme" on adaptation targets
✅A "work programme" on faster emissions cuts
✅…and much more!

If you're brave, you can see these to-do list items reflected in the *provisional* agendas of the meetings (yes, meetings plural) in Bonn…

hours of tomorrow morning, we are reaching a decisive moment on #LossAndDamage at #SB56.
Yesterday the second technical expert dialogue on the New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance (NCQG) took place where #LossAndDamage finance was raised by several developing countries.
Going forward it will be important for developing countries to continue to raise the importance of integrating #LossAndDamage finance into the NCQG so that it is captured in the final text at #COP27.
NEW report: Many gov's and companies present fossil gas as a "bridging fuel" on the way to a renewables based electricity sector.
We've tested this claim: to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C, fossil gas must exit the global power system by 2040, very soon after #coal.

A 🧵1/6
Globally, fossil gas electricity generation should start declining immediately, falling to just 15% of total electricity generation by 2030 & 10% by 2035.
Rich countries must move first.
Developing countries will need support to shift to renewable energy systems at pace. 2/6

The report phase-out dates are averages at the regional level. Meaning, it can be earlier if a country already has little or no gas in the electricity system. For those countries highly reliant on fossil gas power generation, the phase-out has to be a little later.

First a recap from COP26:
7 months ago countries met in the @UNFCCC & signed the Glasgow Pact to work together to increase climate ambition. Two outcomes were critical for frontline communities- a promise to double adaptation, and a Glasgow Climate Dialogue on Loss & Damage / 2

At COP26, over 130 developing countries took a historic step to support a proposal for a Loss and Damage Finance Facility (LDFF). They represented nearly 5 billion people. It was a clear call to the international community for solidarity & support.
