🚨a wide set of #COP27 decisions is now distributed and once again the #ParisAgreement is used to advance false solutions promoting the status quo rather than accelerating radically the race to phase out fossil fuels... A overview of some key problematic decisions...

2/ 🎩cover decisions: despite some good language on #Renewables, the #COP27 political outcome makes no progress on recognition of need to phase out ALL fossil fuels & only replicate Glasgow language without any recognition of ongoing #FossilFuels crisis

3/🤡 cover decision also reuses language suggesting that coal emissions might be "abated" through future technologies - this language diverts away from unequivocal demand for an effective phasing out of all fossil fuels in line with science
1. Today we have a special request on the Mitigation Work Program: Less brackets, more clarity for #1o5ToStayAlive ‼️
This special thread is targeted at negotiators and Ministers as they do a final push towards a strong end to #COP27 #ClimateJustice

2. Yesterday we were pleased to wake up to a new text on the MWP. But few changes were made and some crunch points remain. And today…they still do!! As we really need this work programme to put us on track to #1o5C by 2030, we would like to offer some views on the text
3. We can't believe that you are still discussing the duration of this programme. Can't you just agree it needs to last till 2030 or till we close the gap?
We have just 1⃣ more day to finish this. Aren't you tired of food and bathroom queues and those sandwiches yet? We are!

We’re well into week 2 of #COP27 and the draft cover text has finally dropped: a record-long (8.400 words) COP27 cover decision draft text 36 hours before the official end of COP27. This text lacks a clear structure and vision.

2/7 Lack of transparency, and progress in the different negotiations is leading to the undermining of a meaningful outcome. It is the responsibility of the Egyptian presidency to urgently start accelerating the work and show leadership for an ambitious cover decision.
Hello everyone!
📢Have you done your vocal warm-ups this morning?
It seems that we really need to speak, sing and shout much more as Parties are not listening, or don’t want to…
🎶Do you want to know what is ruining the tune? Read this thread 🧵🎶

Starting now! @CANIntl press briefing mid-way of #COP27

I’ve been seeing a lot of talk recently that it’s certain that we will fail to limit global warming to #1o5C. I don’t think the scientific evidence supports such claims and I would urge caution before drawing absolute conclusions. A thread 1/
For a start, it seems such claims are linked to the question of whether the world will half emissions by 2030. This is deemed unrealistic by some, therefore 1.5°C must be lost. Lots to say about this, but first and foremost there’s an important logical flaw here. 2/
The science on pathways to 1.5°C is not a simplistic yes/no black/white question. It’s not ‘we can achieve it’ or ‘it’s lost’ - there is a lot of grey. It’s a question of probabilities, and we are deep in the grey zone already. 3/
the inadequacy of the #RLTP from a #climate response/commitments perspective is worse than you think (you didn’t think possible, hey?)
the GHG emissions are not only inadequate from a reduction target perspective, but also from a cumulative emissions perspective.

at Planning Committee this week, AT officers noted that the delays to Eastern Busway would not have an impact on their emissions reduction projections because it would still be complete before 2031, when the 1% drop in emissions is predicted in the RLTP… 2/x
…however one of the critical components of #TeTārukeāTāwhiri - in addition to the overall reduction targets - is the rapid decline needed to reduce the cumulative emissions we generate over the next 10-30yrs… 3/x (aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects…)
1/Today, we launch a new project: defining & analysing a series of global & country-level #ParisAgreement-compatible #decarbonisation benchmarks, across four major sectors: #Power, #Transport, #Industry, #Buildings, each w benchmarks for several indicators bit.ly/CAT_PSR1
2/ We've derived 2030 & 2050 sectoral benchmarks for seven countries: #Brazil, #China, #EU, #India, #Indonesia, #SouthAfrica, the #US, taking into account each country's technical, infrastructure & economic circumstances #decarbonisation. Summary report: bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
3/ Our benchmarks are at a level of “highest plausible ambition" - technically, economically feasible, consider existing infrastructure, ensure they push the boundaries on all levels, & increase our chances of meeting the #ParisAgreement #1o5C limit bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum

Hello World, we need to talk about Canada.
I'm doing this in the context of my #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike, because the Winnipeg youth Climate Strike group, @mbyouth4climate, has been very involved in #WetsuwetenSolidarity #ShutDownCanada actions.

As #Australia reels from unprecedented bushfires, the disconnect between its vulnerability to #climate change and the inadequacy of its government's response is coming under international scrutiny.
We have produced a mountain of research on this -

1/ #Australia is on fire due in large part to #climate change yet the government is looking for ways to weaken the Paris Agreement by using 40 y. o. Kyoto protocol credits to meet its 2030 targets. We show there's no legal basis for this

2/ Our calculations show just how bad using Kyoto carryover units to meet #ParisAgreement commitments would be for #climate action: an extra 0.1˚C of warming that wld not otherwise hv occurred due to delays in energy & economic system transformation

Following #cop24, check the storylines we derived in the @IPCC_CH #SR15 report for possible futures at a) +1.5°C without overshoot, b) +2°C, and c) +3°C. They start in 2020, when the #ParisAgreement comes into force. We have 2 critical years ahead. iacweb.ethz.ch/staff//sonia/d…
For full report (still proofs version), see: ipcc.ch/site/assets/up… (checked with @anna_pirani that it was ok to share the text of the storylines here!). @valmasdel
These storylines were developed with @JoeriRogelj, Roland Seferian @meteofrance, Myles Allen @ecioxford, Marcos Bruckeridge, @kristie_ebi, @oveHG, Richard Millar, Tony Payne @Bristol_Glac, @PetraTschakert, Rachel Warren @TyndallCentre, @NevilleREllis, Richard Wartenburger @eth.
With government #ParisAgreement commitments, global warming in 2100 will be 3.0˚C - twice the agreed 1.5˚C limit. With current policies, it’ll be higher, at 3.3˚C. We have just released our annual update at #COP24 climateactiontracker.org/publications/w…
We have a new, optimistic scenario - the policies that have been promised and discussed but not yet implemented - this will get warming back to the #ParisAgreement #NDC level of 3.0˚C #COP24
This morning (Korean time), @IPCC_CH’s Special Report on keeping global warming below 1.5°C was published. You find its Headline Statements here: report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_…

“Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate.”
That’s what would probably happen if we keep global emissions flat. It already gives a sense of how fast we should reduce emissons to stay below 1.5°C.

Even global warming of 1.5°C would result in more hot temperature extremes in most inhabited regions, heavier precipitation in several regions, drought and precipiation deficits in some regions. But less so than 2°C.
