๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™ˆ#COP27 barely started & recommendations are already adopted that would seriously undermine the integrity of the #ParisAgreement
Last night, the supervisory body on #carbonmarkets finalised recommendations regarding "removals"
3โƒฃ things to know about this outcome...
๐Ÿงต[1/7]
2/7 decision adopted in middle of night makes clear that Supervisory Body is pressing forward opening the door for a wide range of โ€œremovalsโ€ incl. engineering of the oceans to โ€œoffsetโ€ emissions despite the existence of an international moratorium prohibiting this Image
3/7 Despite the multiple cases of #HumanRights violations resulting from previous market-based โ€œoffsettingโ€ schemesโ€“the Supervisory Body suggest that enforcement of environmental and social safeguards shld remain a prerogative of host countryโ€“thus making any safeguards toothless Image

๐ŸŽ‡โš–๏ธPATHBREAKING CLIMATE JUSTICE WIN TODAY! The #UN Human Rights Committee finds that Australia violated its #humanrights obligations by failing to take adequate climate action and requests full remedy for impacted Torres Strait Islanders
theguardian.com/australia-newsโ€ฆ
A thread ๐Ÿงต1/19
2-๐Ÿ“ŒThe case is particularly important in the context of an emerging groundswell of judicial victories for #ClimateJustice as it breaks new grounds with regards to the duty of the States to provide remedy in the context of climate-related #LossAndDamage
3-๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธLet us celebrate the courage and boldness of plaintiffs and lawyers who brought their complaint to the UN after decades of inaction by the Australian government. This case will have ripple effects beyond what one can imagine today.

๐Ÿšจunpacking 3โƒฃcrunch issues at #COP26๐Ÿšจ
Presidency shared new texts this morning but they clearly are just drafts & countries must continue to work until more meaningful/less harmful deal can be concluded!
See in๐Ÿงตbelow 3 key issues: #LossAndDamage, #FossilFuels, #Article6
๐Ÿ‘‡1/4 Image
2/๐Ÿ›ข๏ธon #fossilfuels: #COP26 ref. MUST be strengthened to become meaningful
โžก๏ธcurrent wording gives get-out-of-jail-free card to coal extraction, exports, coking coal (=gift to ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง+๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ)
โžก๏ธdamaging qualifiers (unabated, inefficient)
โžก๏ธref. to phase-out weakened into "efforts towards" Image
3/๐ŸŒ€on #LossAndDamage: we need step change in how world is responding
Time for justice is overdue!
draft #cop26 proposal of a new blahblahblah process is disgrace, 14 yrs after Parties agreed to talk about L&D (Bali).
Industrialised countries must support frontlines communities Image

Parties must resist these attempts in final hours of COP

New ref. to scaling up CLEAN power generation: as intensive lobbying at EU level indicates, govs & biz have many ideas what this entails: nuclear, BECCS, gas...
this would be 1st ever ref to "clean" instead of "renewable" in a political UNFCCC decision (draft cover COP decision) Image
Weakening down of reference to phasing out of coal - suggesting that only "unabated" coal falls under scope of phase out = implicit support for CCS despite repeated failure (draft cover COP decision)... Image

#COP26 is turning into most exclusive COP over the past decade.
Observers are barred for now from any access to entire negotiating area despite so many reassurances from @COP26 and @UNFCCC Sec.
Even first days of Copenhagen compare better.
Here comes a short thread with context
2/ there are many concerns but biggest is the restricted access to negotiating areas.
Leaders might require a safety zone but this time the entire negotiations are cordoned off. This is unprecedented.
We have only access to a climate fair, 1 supermarket & 2 restaurants
3/ Despite health concerns & very high costs, CSOs & indigenous peoples came from all continents to be heard
๐Ÿ”’But doors remain shut.
Telling Global South youth partners that best for now is to work from overpriced accommodation is literally heartbreaking
