Webinar on tools for assessing national #climate pledges (NDCs) by @WRIClimate. @davidwaskow reminds: #ParisAgreement is meant to work thru an iterative process of increasing ambition (faster emission reductions), leading to #netzero emissions by 2050. (Thread 1/n) 
The world is currently WAY over our #carbonbudget for where we need to be to align with #ParisAgreement. Orange= countries will do under any event; red = conditional (e.g., will do if they get needed finance). We have LOTSA emissions to reduce fast @davidwaskow @WRIClimate (2/n)
Of 21 indicators assessed for #ParisAgreement:
2 are on track (e.g., crop yields)
13 right direction but too slow (e.g., need electric vehicle sales to be 22x faster than now)
2 in wrong direction: forests, ag emissions
@davidwaskow from @climateactiontr, @WRIClimate et al 3/n

Current state of play: 12 Dec 2021= 5 year #ParisAgreement anniversary. Look for more announcements of national climate pledges. Some new pledges already released, but many govt's focused on #COVID19 recovery- important to link with climate-compatible recovery. @davidwaskow 4/n
What is climatewatchdata.org?
100s of credible datasets,
100,000s of data points
to assess #climate trends, targets, bring transparency to inform + drive #ClimateAction.
For govts, biz, researchers, NGOs
Run by @JohannesFried.
(See also other forest, energy, ... tools) 5/n

Data on #ClimateWatchData includes most current data possible for GHG emissions (most comprehensive source available, all countries/sectors/gases globally, will be up to 2018 next week; pathways); also publishes others' data e.g., @gcarbonproject 2019. @JohannesFried 6/n
Everyone wants to play (ratified #ParisAgreement) but no one wants to do the work:
Only 20 countries have long-term #climate strategies
Only 20 have submitted updated, more ambitious pledges (NDCs)
26 have net zero targets
62 have economy wide #climate policy

How can we know if countries are doing what they promised in Paris and increasing #ClimateAction & ambition? climatewatchdata.org/ndcs-explore tool assesses new climate pledges (NDCs) using 5 criteria. (More resources: climatewatchdata.org/2020-ndc-track… & long-term explorer) @MengpinGe (8/n)
Very useful overview & comparison of current #climate pledges by countries. Can compare documents between countries or over time. climatewatchdata.org/compare-all-ta…
Coming soon: #NetZero tracker (see report:wri.org/publication/de…).

Coming soon: #ClimateWatchData #dataviz library for cool things like this! @Matt_Herbert_ says they can help with #climate #dataviz, get in touch w/ @WRIClimate. (10/n)
Super useful resource (though incomplete, submit policies you know of to update!): @ECIU_UK map of #climate targets including sub-national actors (businesses, cities, regions, ...) (11/n) eciu.net/netzerotracker…
#climate finance - how much money have countries pledged/delivered? (including shameful US record- hope this is turned around in 2021): wri.org/resources/data…
OECD 2018 found $78.9 bn/yr (78% public $), of $100 bn/yr promised in Paris, per @davidwaskow (12/12)

Excellent #SciComm tips from ace @Weather_West:
"You know more than you think you do"- draw on your knowledge of literature/refer to other experts
Foster relationships with trusted journalists
Beware #ClimateTwitter rabbit hole :)

#SciComm is super important, but there are real costs, shows @Weather_West - not rewarded/part of current job descriptions, even though he spends 40% of his time on his (wide-reaching and kickass) communication work. Need new roles ( & $$) for scientist-communicators. #AGU20 2/3
Lessons for #scicomm from #COVID19 by @Weather_West:
Trusted expert voices now more important than ever- examples of scientists who have launched new careers based on effective Twitter comms. But remember ethical obligations. #AGU20
