.@antonioguterres at #IPCC #ClimateReport press conference sends another clear message :

"The climate time-bomb is ticking.

But today’s IPCC report is a how-to guide to defuse the climate time-bomb."

Here is how 👇🏼
@antonioguterres "1.5oC is achievable. But it takes real climate action on all fronts -- everything, everywhere, all at once.

Humanity should come first and every country and every sector must be part of the solution."

@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH

#IPCC #ClimateReport #FossilFuelTreaty
@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH "The G20 should do a Climate Solidarity Pact:

1. All big emitters make extra efforts to cut emissions
2. Wealthier countries mobilize financial and technical resources to support emerging economies

By #COP28, G20 leaders must have committed to ambitious new economy-wide NDCs"
@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH "CEOs of all oil and gas companies also need to be part of the solution, by presenting credible, comprehensive and detailed transition plans for emission cuts for 2025 and 2030, and efforts to change business models to phase out fossil fuels and scale up renewable energy." #IPCC
@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH "We must also speed-up efforts to deliver climate justice to those on the frontlines by safeguarding the most vulnerable communities, delivering on financial commitments and scaling up finance for adaptation and loss and damage."

@antonioguterres #IPCC #ListenToTheSciece
@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH "Today’s IPCC report is a survival guide for humanity.

The longer we wait, the harder it will become.

We have never been better equipped to solve the climate challenge.

But we don’t have a moment to lose."

@antonioguterres @IPCC_CH

Exactly. So why are false solutions such a big problem? And why don't we need them?

A thread in the context of today's newly published #IPCC report 🧵
In the face of an undeniably changing climate, the fossil fuel industry and other high-emissions industries, as well as the banks, financiers and other actors who prop them up, have had to invent new tactics. For decades, the tactic was simple: lie
The lies run deep + long. New research this year showed that #ExxonKnew. Their scientists predicted global warming with shocking accuracy yet repeatedly exaggerated climate science uncertainties. Read an important thread from report author @GeoffreySupran

A block of 6 Pacific countries just agreed to spearhead a global fossil fuel phase-out effort including:

⚖️ creating an alliance of countries to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

🛢️ joining @beyondoilgas

🌏 a just transition to a "Fossil Fuel Free Pacific"

A 🧵
The “Port Vila Call for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific” is the official outcome document from a three-day high-level meeting of Ministers and officials from across the Pacific.

You can read the full outcome here via @CANPacificIs pican.org/fossil-free-pa…
The powerful outcome text was written by Ministers and officials from a block of six Pacific countries –

🇹🇻 Tuvalu

All month, the island nation of Vanuatu has been in a state of emergency as it rebuilds following a brutal 48-hours of two cyclones and an earthquake.

How this is devastating reminder that fossil-fueled climate impacts are here and now... A thread 🧵
bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Cyclones are among the most destructive extreme weather events &, on a warming planet, they're predicted to be more intense & costly due to

📈more storm surges
📈faster wind speeds
📈more rainfall
📈more flooding

A great fact sheet from @climatecouncil climatecouncil.org.au/resources/fact…
The loss and damage from climate change — whether it's these cyclones, flooding that engulfed parts of India and Bangladesh in May, or heat waves that gripped much of the United States and Europe last year - will only escalate with every fraction of warming.

The fossil fuel industry is not going to design its own demise. Instead, they seem to have no problem enabling the production of the biggest driver of our climate crisis.

Why @antonioguterres speech to #UNGA this morning is so important. A thread 🧵
Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon & Shell all reported record profits for 2022, a year in which Russia's war on Ukraine collided with the post-pandemic economic recovery to drive oil prices to their highest levels in history.
cbsnews.com/news/exxon-che…
Together, the four companies saw $1 TRILLION in sales last year. TotalEnergies and BP are still due to report their 2022 financial results next week. These obscene profits of the fossil fuel industry are jarring when set two broader contexts...

A 🧵on a new tool we are launching today with @SussexUni that is mapping & tracking forward looking supply-side policies worldwide. So far it has:

❌ 180 moratoria, bans & limits
⬇️ 32 subsidy reduction policies
💰 1,539 divestment pledges
🙋‍♀️ 71 #FossilFuelTreaty endorsements
@SussexUni For decades, we have been encouraging governments to address fossil fuels directly, knowing that they are the biggest driver of climate change. But what is actually happening in the world and who is in the lead? This new Fossil Fuel Tracker helps answer that.
@SussexUni All major scientific reports show new fossil fuel projects are incompatible with a livable planet yet self-proclaimed climate leaders keep approving new poisonous projects to the detriment of public health, biodiversity & security.
