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."
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 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.
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.
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...
@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.
2. Then on Thursday hear a #tedx talk from @Fridays4future leaders sharing stories from around the world of young people taking on the fossil fuel industry.
