On 1.5°C limit of #ParisAgreement:

"Because the very reason this target was chosen, is not in terms of the easiness of achieving it.

It was chosen to avoid the most servere impacts. It's a must. We must keep it alive." - @JPvanYpersele

"It's a truly unique moment in human history.

1. Where we are today. Climate change is here today. It will get more severe sooner.

2. Climate change intensifies deep injustices.

3. There's a massive gap between where we need to be and what's happening..." - @kaisakosonen

"To put it another way: we're on track to 3°C warming.

In terms of nature, - we need to really think about nature as non-negotiable. The science here is very robust. What we really want to see is policymakers to act accordingly." - Shirley Matheson @climateWWF

#ClimateCrisis

"There can be no more new fossil fuel infrastructure. That's what the @IPCC_CH report says.

The existing infrastructure needs to be phased out rapidly.

#FossilFuels don't only present an existential threat to climate, but also to other SDGs." - @alexraf @fossiltreaty

On Carbon Capture & Storage (#CCS): "This was a day dream. Let me tell you where we are today: It does not work."

On Carbon Dioxide Removal: "Using the biosphere, protecting mangroves, savannas, restoring woodlands…"

"We need to go to 100% renewables!" Stephan @sindra_sharma

"We know that rich polluting countries don't put their money where their mouth is. " - @1TeresaAnderson @ActionAid @CANIntl
