Some more thoughts on the #COP28 outcome, speaking as a #ProductionGap report lead author...

First, three important context:
1. Every single word and comma in the GST had to be agreed upon by delegations from 199 countries. A single country could block or object to any one word. 2. #COP decision texts are important documents that can serve as the lowest level of ambition we can hold the world’s governments accountable to, but they are neither legally binding nor reflective of future actions. The #FFPO and #climatejustice movements are not going anywhere.

Our new @IOPenvironment paper explores how 16 subsidies & regulatory exemptions affect the expected investment returns of *new* US oil and gas fields that are projected to be developed in 2020-2030.

TLDR: Fossil fuel #subsidies are either bad, or bad. 🧵

Image If oil and gas prices remain high -- like they are now and back in 2019 -- subsides are incredibly wasteful. Over 96% of subsidy value will flow to excess profits, locking in the industry’s incumbent status and delaying the low-carbon transition.

The frequency, intensity, and duration of #ExtremeWeather events (heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods, storms) are increasing, with some of the first and worst impacts occurring in least-developed countries, whose people have contributed least to climate change.
