Science is crystal clear, the only way to meaningfully reduce emissions is a rapid, equitable, full & funded phase-out of ALL fossil fuels. In this essential #JustTransition, there's is NO space for dangerous distractions such as #CCS or #CarbonRemoval. ciel.org/news/ipcc-sums…

We cannot offset our way out of the current #ClimateCrisis.
Offsets are another false solution, and #CarbonMarkets have been high on the agenda during the climate talks. Read more in this thread 👇

Oceans were squarely on the climate agenda at #SB58. But they are no dumping ground for carbon waste and no experimental field for risky geoengineering! geoengineeringmonitor.org/2023/06/marine…

Having a petrostate with a deeply repressive government that is aggressively expanding its fossil fuel industry & promoting false solutions host #COP28 places the issues of a fossil fuel phase-out and #CivicSpace for #Human Rights squarely on the agenda for all governments.

In the words of @GretaThunberg
“People in power are spending their time looking for false solutions and inventing loopholes to keep their power.”

Momentum is growing: Civil society is calling on ALL govs to remember that #CCS, carbon removals #CDR, are not just unproven technologies, they are loopholes used & created by the #FossilFuels industry to keep polluting & perpetuating the #FossilEconomy

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👇

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.
#2
The Sixth Assessment Cycle #AR6 reflects an undeniable scientific consensus: we don't have time, the #ClimateEmergency is already a reality & needs to be addressed NOW, not tomorrow.
#3 #AR6 makes clear:
👉 A rapid & equitable #FossilPhaseOut, and
👉 Rollout of renewable energies alongside energy efficiency and demand-side measures
remain the clearest and most certain path to #ClimateJustice
