As we face yet another #heatwave in MA, let’s talk about this NEW #ClimateLaw that @MassGovernor Baker just signed. This is a major step to help protect our communities from the devastating impacts of #ClimateChange. Here’s why: 1/13

Why do we need more climate laws & policies on top of our Global Warming Solutions Act and Next Generation Roadmap law? While these two laws set mandatory goals to slash climate damaging pollution, we need other laws and policies to dictate HOW to accomplish these goals. 2/13
The new law sets a target of installing enough #OffshoreWind to power 2.5 million homes by 2027 and various other policies to make #CleanEnergy easier to supply to MA residents. 3/13
Ahead of crucial #COP26 & amid intensifying climate crisis, the @EU_ Commission today presents the #FitFor55 package aiming at cutting EU emissions by 55% by 2030. Implementation will require far-reaching changes in mobility, housing, land use, industrial production. 1/11
The @EU_Commission sends the following signal to the international community: EU ups the ante to align the block on the 1.5° pathway, as pledged in the #ParisAgreement. #Fitfor55 will show whether the EU is ready to walk the climate talk while ensuring a just transition. 2/11
The walk will only be fully successful if environmental integrity and social and distributional justice go hand in hand. Agora welcomes the setting up of a social fund to ensure that its #Fitfor55 proposals lead to greater social solidarity. 3/11
I've been looking in more detail at the #governance arrangements of @RichardbrutonTD's #ClimatePlan2019 today, incl. comparing the published plan, the leaked April draft version & @1Hildegarde @OireachtasNews #JOCCA report
Warning: long technical thread for #climate nerds like me. I'm looking at you @jmcurtin @CAugustenborg @Paulkenny79 @BOGallachoir @EnvJusticeUCC @homebirdnow @SadhbhO @Jerry_MacEvilly @davidhealyv @MiseAnja @climpeter @OisinCoghlan @sarah_wien @SimonMatti @tdlegge @averchenkova
1/ #Governance framework of #ClimatePlan2019 has rightly been praised. It is much stronger than 2015 #climatelaw. Those with too much time on their hands can read my 2017 @Env_Pol article on the process that led to the 2015 law
