TODAY @IPCC_CH released its most comprehensive assessment of science of #ClimateChange, impacts & solutions.
This is not the first & won’t be the last wake-up call, but it’s a unique moment.
I was in Interlaken 🇨🇭 for the last 9 days.
Here’s a🧵with my take #ClimateReport👇

Before I start... Let's step back 👣

Here's a @ciel_tweets & @BoellStiftung analysis on the @IPCC_CH's Synthesis Report #ClimateReport

If you missed it, that's a great starting point to understand what #AR6SYR is and why it matters:

#3
Negotiations of the Summary for Policymaker highlighted the clash between the indisputable #ClimateScience & mainstream economic models underpinning mitigation pathways, perpetuate a business-as-usual approach. Incredible work of CSOs put a spotlight on #FossilFuels.

#4
The Summary for Policymakers of the Synthesis Report summarises assumptions and limitations of economic models underpinning @IPCC_CH mitigation pathways so that policymakers can weigh them with caution & choose policies that #FollowTheScience.

#5
All underlying reports put together tell a compelling story:

😱We are already experiencing severe climate impacts #LossAndDamage
😱People are dying
😱Species are going extinct
😱 We are approaching dangerous tipping points

@IPCC_CH points to core drivers: #FossilFuels

#6
We are not on track to address the urgency of the #ClimateEmergency, it’s high time to change course. 1.5°C is a survival limit for millions of people; overshoot would have catastrophic and irreversible consequences.

#7
Proven and readily available solutions exist and can be rolled out:
✅#FossilPhaseOut
✅Renewable energies
✅Reducing energy demand
✅changing our consumption & production, including diets

#8
The #FossilEconomy is under threat; those who profit from BAU are putting all efforts into greenwashing & delay
Those tactics must not distract us from seeing the solutions that are readily available
@IPCC_CH makes clear: 1.5°C is feasible, what is lacking is political will

#9
Fossil fuel lobby is coming up with new strategies to delay the unavoidable transition by promoting technological fixes #CCS #CDR.
🦄But the IPCC message to world leaders is clear: This is a fairy tale.
There is no time for #FalseSolutions #KeepFossilFuelsInTheGround

#10
The most ambitious mitigation pathways put out by @IPCC_CH set the floor, not the ceiling, for necessary climate action.

Solving the #ClimateCrisis is not about what works on paper but what delivers in practice.

#11
The #IPCC #ClimateReport confirms: deep, immediate & sustained emissions reductions through an immediate, rapid and equitable fossil fuel phaseout & #HumanRights based #ClimateAction is the surest path to limiting global warming to 1.5°C
