Nigeria is oil rich and energy poor. It can't wait around for cheaper batteries - CNN

Blatant discrimination against Africa by misuse of Article 2.1(c ) of Paris Agreement. Stop oil and gas in developed world before targeting Africa.

#cop26 At Structured Expert Dialogue of Second Periodic Review (PR2-SED2), today, OECD asked about past and future cumulative emissions..has no reply!! Says countries have not given information. @CarbonBrief
@n_thanki @JMauskar @3rdworldnetwork @bforboseman @meenaraman3 @moefcc
Asked whether finance should be tagged to excessive emissions -- does not understand question, certainly does not reply. Asked why OECD recommends finance for any project with a basket of weights according to the proportion that donor thinks relates to each SDG!!
No answer!! Goes on about mobilising finance. Asked why the discrepancy between the Standing Committee on Finance and their figures...does not answer!! What kind of expert dialogue was that!!

@mssrf @nias_india team launches new Climate Equity Monitor @Equity4Climate climateequitymonitor.in . First developing country website of its kind, founded on equity and differentiation. To promote awareness on climate change as a global collective action problem.
Assessments of equity and differentiation based on the science of cumulative emissions and carbon budgets. Not bogus "science of net zero." And the balance sheet of carbon debt of the developed countries.
Also focusing on tremendous inequalities in resource consumption and electricity supply. The gap between responsibility and action from developed countries!! Everyone should see the numbers first.

UNEP EMISSIONS GAP REPORT (EGR) -- Propaganda piece for the net-zero "tamasha" (for non-Indians, Oxford Languages defn: "a fuss or a commotion") - Abandoning equity.
@3rdworldnetwork @AGNChairUNFCCC @n_thanki @bforboseman @byadavbjp @moefcc @TheBTI @TedNordhaus @KanitkarT

Report acknowledges clearly that cumulative emissions on the way to net zero determines warming as in figure in Chapter 3 ..........newclimate.org/2021/10/26/emi…
2/n
In words again: "Global net-zero emissions targets in isolation set only a weak limit on the maximum level of global warming (Rogelj et al.2015), as the maximum level of warming is largely defined by the cumulative amount of CO2 emissions emitted until net zero (IPCC 2018)."

YET AGAIN - CLIMATE ACTION FORCED ON AFRICA - From the President of Uganda. Excerpts below.

Africa can’t sacrifice its future prosperity for Western climate goals. The continent should balance its energy mix, not rush straight toward renewables—even though that will likely frustrate some of those gathering at next week’s global climate conference in Glasgow.
My continent’s energy choices will dictate much of the climate’s future. Conservative estimates project that Africa’s population of 1.3 billion will double by 2050. Africans’ energy consumption will likely surpass that of the European Union around the same time.

Admire the courage and forthrightness of Bangladesh PM's take on COP26. Her conviction on the path ahead for her country is inspiring. Short 🧵. @3rdworldnetwork @JMauskar @bforboseman @KanitkarT @BhaskerTripathi @nit_set

However, locking in policies for "keeping 1.5 alive," aware of the inaction of the developed countries, is a risky path to take. 10 coal plants were withdrawn due to finance from MDBs being blocked or an autonomous decision? Our emissions are not determining factor; theirs are!!
Number of new jobs expected is admirable. But, opening up of inspiringly named Mujib Plan to global community would help useful peer review. Especially if the plan is based on closed door advice from INGOs, aid agencies, etc.

DEBUNKING THE "RICH INDIAN EMITTER" STORY.
Persistent confusion created by international NGOs who argue that India's rich are "hiding behind the poor". Debunked earlier. Chancel and Piketty's 2015 paper (C&P) debunks it further. @JMauskar @moefcc @3rdworldnetwork @byadavbjp
C&P analysis based on consumption-based emissions.
Paper available at piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/ChancelP…
@KanitkarT @n_thanki @BhaskerTripathi @nit_set @TedNordhaus @TheBTI @moefcc @bforboseman #ClimateJustice
C&P have three potent graphics. First - Share of emissions from Indians among world's top 10 emitters who emit 45% of world emissions -- only 1% of 45%, i.e. 0.45% of global emissions. NORTH AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS AMONG TOP 10% CONTRIBUTE 27% OF GLOBAL EMISSIONS.
