Webcast: unfccc.int/event/climate-…

At this #COP27 we are looking for #ClimateJustice and #ClimateAmbition. But we haven´t seen progress. @mohadow @PowerShftAfrica.

“You cannot have a LossAndDamage fund, if it doesn't deliver solidarity to those communities on the frontline that cannot adapt to #ClimateChange anymore. We are in need of international solidarity.” @mohadow @PowerShftAfrica

Erika Lennon - at #COP27

@eribears

On my way to #COP27 & during my stopover in London tuning in to follow the ongoing discussions of the #Article6.4 Mechanism Supervisory Body (read #CarbonMarket), where members are discussing methodologies for the mechanism & some of its activities: unfccc-events.azureedge.net/Article64third…. A 🧵

#NoOffsets: For the #Article6.4 mechanism to have any positive contributions to enhancing #ClimateAmbition, it must be clear that "credits" generated cannot be used for offsets. You cannot offset your way to 1.5C. #NoOffsets

Critically, members are discussing the potential for "removal" activities, but removals are not reductions and come with considerable risks for #HumanRights, reversals (i.e. when wildfires subsequently destroy a forest), etc.

It has been a few weeks since China's announcement at the #ClimateAmbition Summit to enhance its 2030 targets. Here is a quick overview of the domestic developments since then. Thread

The national ETS is feeling more pressure from the top to start running. The start date is now set for Feb 1, but expect much remaining technical works to be done afterward. In any case, price will be low and only the power sector will be covered at the initial phase.

The MEE was tasked to develop a national peaking roadmap and will require provinces and key industries to identify their peaking year. The exact mechanism of deciding the peak years is unclear, but expect a lot of haggles between Beijing and interest groups.

Our second Zero In Report launches today!

How can the latest #climate models help us understand where #GlobalWarming is heading in the next few decades?

And how does COVID-19 affect future climate projections?

And/or keep reading our short but sweet summary 🧵👇

Analysing the new #CMIP6 #climate models has helped us to understand where global temperatures are heading, depending on the emissions we produce.

Plus where we stand in terms of the #ParisAgreement - can we stay within 1.5 degrees of temperature rise?

It’s #EUGreenDeal day! @SebastienTreyer: “This Green Deal must be a very clear statement of Europe's #climateambition, and provide, as early as possible in 2020, a timetable for raising the European Union's contribution to reducing GHG emissions by 2030 under the Paris Agreement”

#EUGreenDeal day : “ It is necessary to ensure that European policies are well aligned with the imperative objectives of the Green Deal: #carbonneutrality in 2050, but also the protection of #biodiversity” says @SebastienTreyer

“In a troubled geopolitical context, a substantial #EUGreenDeal would be also a signal that Europe is sending to the rest of the world in support of global climate objectives and Sustainable Development Goals” says @SebastienTreyer #SDGs #climate #COP25
