This year I spent most of my work-life editing @BBCFuture & I have worked with some downright amazing writers.

So before signing off for the year here's a shout out to some of the incredible freelancers I've had the pleasure to work with, & links to their fascinating stories 1/ 2/

I haven't seen a piece like this anywhere: @Pau_Erre's in-depth look at Colombia's plans to leave its fossil fuels in the ground (& what it will really take to do it)

Today the last @BBC_Future Towards Net Zero article was published.

Over the last few weeks, this series (edited by me & @Martha_Rosamund) has seen writers from around the world examine the challenges to decarbonisation in 9 very different countries.

Here they are: 1/n @BBC_Future @Martha_Rosamund 2/n This insightful profile of Russia's relationship with fossil fuels by @angelinadavydov

**UN AVIATION + CLIMATE UPDATE**

The council of UN aviation body ICAO is currently debating whether or not to change the baseline of its CORSIA offset scheme.

This would further slacken the only climate policy that exists for international aviation. THREAD 1/n 2/n First, if you've never heard of CORSIA read this! It outlines all the basics, including the many criticisms of this plan even before this baseline thing came up carbonbrief.org/corsia-un-plan…

1/n THREAD on AVIATION TAX ✈️✈️✈️

Today a high level EU conference is happening in the Netherlands on carbon pricing and #aviationtax.

Netherlands is pushing for European countries to begin taxing aircraft fuel.

Conference live here: #Aviatax2019NL 2/n The conference is specifically for EU finance ministers and officials.

I've been told they purposely did not let in transport ministers who are notorious for being crap on climate related measures and blocking them.
