Today, we'll enter the long but final stretch for #IPCC #AR6 WG III report on mitigation - the virtual approval session, finalizing the 'Summary for Policymakers' (SPM) with governments Full Report and SPM to be published on April 4
Some insights...
ipcc.ch/meeting-doc/ip… [1/n]
First WG IIl lead author meeting took place 3 years ago, the process in itself way earlier. There've been delays because of #COVID19, but "Final Draft Report" has been submitted already in Nov 2021. The last months of work have been mainly about SPM
ipcc.ch/about/preparin…
[2/n]
There are strict confidentiality rules in the #IPCC when it comes to content, but as an intergovernmental organization, the #IPCC is quite transparent when it comes to process.
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
[3/n]
WG III #AR6 Summary for Policymakers is organized by Headline Statements (HS), approval process is bundled in packages
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
[4/n]
There is a standard process for approving each Headline Statement, vs. plenary, contact groups, huddles (if needed), and plenary again
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
[5/n]
All these processes run in parallel, leading to a complex schedule. Furthermore, in a virtual approval session, government delegates and SPM authors work from their respective timezones. Plenary starting at 15:00 UTC runs 2-5:00am if you're in Syndney
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
6/n
The schedule changes in the 2nd week. A plenary starting 5:00 UTC will run from midnight to 3am if you're in Washington
If you're in Europe or Africa, schedule is still quite okay in the 2nd week
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
[7/n]
Detailed modalities are quite similar to in-person approval sessions. And remember that this is not the first virtual #IPCC approval. Working Groups I and II approval sessions took place this way in August 2021 and February 2022
apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/d…
[8/]
During following 2 weeks, you shouldn't hear anything from inside, but @IISD_ENB will post photos every day.
Approval shd be finished by April 1, report published April 4 (11am CEST). And some days after that you'll be able to read the always excellent @IISD_ENB analysis

As promised, now more on the topics I was deeply involved in as #IPCC #AR6 Synthesis Report author, both in the Summary for Policymakers & the so-called 'Longer Report':
overhoot, net zero, mitigation pathways (incl. CDR)

1/n
Let's start with "Overshoot" (B.7), where I was responsible for drafting and 'negotiating' in plenary, but of course not alone (mainly together with @chrisd_jones, with whom I worked on corresponding section 3.3.4 in underlying report)
#IPCC #AR6 #SYR
ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/
2/n
To understand the Overshoot SPM section B.7, we need to start with B.1 on "Future Climate Change", led by @JuneYiLee1 & @sorensson_anna
#IPCC #AR6 #SYR

Unfortunately, the UN Secretary General still doesn't understand difference betw net-zero CO2 and much more ambitious net-zero GHG targets. The famous 2050 is net-zero CO2 for 1.5C, net-zero GHG only some decades later, as per #IPCC WG3 & Synthesis Report
politico.eu/article/climat…
UN Secretary General has been ill-advised by his own high-level expert group on net-zero, which also confuses net-zero CO2 and net-zero GHG.
It is all in the latest #IPCC reports, including the one released today. Why not just "listen to the science"?

After 3 yrs of hard work & a long approval plenary, we got the #IPCC #AR6 Synthesis Report published today, consisting of the Summary for Policymakers and a full report version ➡️ ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/
An ongoing 🧵, starting with SPM fig 1 on adverse climate change impacts

Every increment of warming matters (SPM.2)

Future climate change to increase impacts and regional differences

Today we publish the 1st edition of the "State of Carbon Dioxide Removal" report, a global assessment of the current #StateofCDR, and the gap we need to close to achieve the Paris temperature goal.
Full report➡️stateofcdr.org
An ongoing 🧵
[1]
This report compiles a first estimate of the total CDR being deployed (2 GtCO2/yr).
Almost all comes from "conventional" CDR on land, via afforestation, reforestation & forest management.
"Novel" methods don’t contribute much yet.
#StateofCDR
[2]
We provide a calculation of total gross CDR in #IPCC-assessed pathways to keep warming below 1.5C and 2C, including all methods. All pathways involve substantial cumulative CDR volumes (450-1100 GtCO2 by 2100) - in addition to immediate & deep emissions reductions

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
un.org/en/climatechan…
1/
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
ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3…
2/n
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

➡️Only 6 out of 97 scenarios in the #IPCC #AR6 WG3 category C1 ('no to limited overshoot') never cross 1.5C
➡️91 out of 97 cross 1.5C temporarily, and then go back to 1.5°C by 2100

If you read the Summary for Policymakers of IPCC AR6 WG1 (Aug. 2021), this cannot come as surprise
Below the numbers from #IPCC #AR6 WG1. Not sure if this knowledge was conciously included in "keeping 1.5C alive and within reach" messaging around #COP26.
'Overshoot' pathways (= exceedance & return) didn't make it onto the high-level #UNFCCC agenda yet
ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…
The overshoot logic might also a little bit hard to detect in this #IPCC #AR6 WG1 SPM figure. That's because overshoot is quite small (0.1°C) for SSP1-1.9, while at the same time all standard RCP levels (1.9-8.5) are shown in one figure
