🚨🆕 #COP27 presidency draft of political decisions:
This proposal appears to be more a cover up than a proposal for cover decisions!
🔥We live in a #FossilFuels crisis, yet draft text:
⚠️fails to call for a phase out of #FossilFuels
⚠️actually opens door for status quo
short🧵

2/ ⚡️good language on need for clean & just transition to renewable energy and to scaling up solar - but reference to "all available clean & efficient energy technologies" aims at allowing continuation of some #FossilFuels disguised as climate solutions

3/ ⚠️despite many parties calling for reference to ALL #FossilFuels - incl. small Islands, India, many European States, current draft only focuses on coal power thus failing to call out need to phase out gas and oil despite science/IPCC highlighting the need for it

4/ 🔴#COP27 draft backslides on language related to fossil fuels subsidies with now an additional qualifier added suggesting a possible "rationalization" of such subsidies.
We urgently need to ensure that no public resources are used to fuel the climate crisis!

5/5 🧑‍🔬text contains many references to need for innovations on "clean technologies" = fossil fuels industry's code word for greenwashing & technofixes providing illusion that there might one day be cleaner fossil fuels use - what we need are renewables & not #FalseSolutions
