Recent study present an analysis of “the gap between the CO2 storage required to meet net zero targets and the slow maturation of regional storage resources.”

🧵 1/12
Researchers estimate that “European storage rates need to boost 30-100x by 2030 to meet #NetZero by 2050. 🇨🇳 & North America face a similar challenge. The slow global progress of #CarbonStorage undermines the latest IPCC, IEA & EU transition pathways to net zero by 2050.”

“These pathways imply a radically in teased demand for carbon capture and storage & #NegativeEmissionTechnologies (#NETs), contributing 500 of 700 megatonnes of #CarbonDioxideRemoval annually by 2050.”

3) Why is it important to acknowledge extractive economic systems - & the prioritisation of growth as the only and leading metric (GDP) - as the root cause of the planetary crisis?
The root cause of the planetary crisis is a deeply embedded cultural view that there are no limits

The EC President Ursula @vonderleyen held a very impressive wide ranging Q&A today with The European Parliament, focussed more on the #EuropeanGreenDeal and long term issues than #Ukraine. It is the first such Q&A with the President in 12 years.
The session demonstrates the unique qualities of the European Union and its Parliament as a deliberative multi-nation decision making body with very real powers in relation its sovereign members which are bound by mutual benefit rather than sanction.
@vonderleyen was asked and answered some very tough questions about the “rule of law” issues related to Poland and Hungary, two countries which are on the front line of the Ukraine refugee crisis.
Notably absent from the proceedings; rancor and grandstanding.

This has been a long time coming: we first discussed new edition in 2016, then #Brexit (and @Brexitenv) happened. Our fantastic authors then had to grapple with #Covid, its impact on the EU as well as on their own lives...and the exciting developments re #EuropeanGreenDeal

We’re really proud of all 20 chapters from both authors new to the book & returning authors from previous editions, from all around Europe. If you are familiar with previous editions, you can expect 8 completely new chapters, more figures, boxes and tables throughout. 📈📊

Europa hat einen neuen Autokonzern: Stellantis (entstanden aus der Fusion PSA-FCA).
Gewerkschaften können eine Restrukturierung im Zeichen von Klimaschutz und Digitalisierung mitgestalten - wenn #EU und die nächste Bundesregierung gute Jobs mit #EuropeanGreenDeal schaffen.

Stellantis, nuova potenza dell'auto, presenta rischi, ma anche l'occasione di una nuova strategia sindacale a scala europea: impegnare imprese, governi ed #EU a creare con la missione "European Green Deal" nuovi, buoni impieghi.

Les défis de Stellantis sont énormes. Mais ils offrent aus syndicats l'opportunité de développer une nouvelle stratégie syndicale, en saisissant l'opportunité de #EuropeanGreenDeal.

I am very happy to announce a new, open access, publication in @JEI_Publication 'The Covid-19 crisis: a critical juncture for EU climate policy development?', authored with @OberthuerSeb and @IngmarVon, @GovPA_UGent @govtran ➡️ tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
We analyse whether the EU's response to the #COVID19 pandemic can be seen as a potential critical juncture for EU climate policy development, by tracing EU climate policy developments before and during 2020.
A critical juncture can be considered an event that moves policy/institutional development onto a new path, implying that it causes change.
1/10 Tomorrow, @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen will make her 1st #SOTEU speech. The #VdLCommission’s been off to a good start with an ambitious #green agenda & the #EUGreenDeal, but the real test of her green credentials is yet to come...
2/10 Our #EU experts @manondf + @Pieter_de_Pous will be live-tweeting highlights during tomorrow’s #SOTEU speech at 9:00AM CEST.

In mind-numbing non COVID events, European Commission is handing the keys to the green finance regulatory kingdom to Blackrock!

Blackrock will develop tools and mechanisms for integrating ESG into banking regulation.
ESG is a private taxonomy for sustainable finance.
ESG is a private taxonomy for sustainable finance.
for the past two years, European Commission has developed its own public taxonomy, with the purpose of ending greenwashing that happens via private ESG.
if you're wondering why #EuropeanGreenDeal needs green macro, look no further than Eastern Europe, where centre-right parties are framing it as choice between 'investments in health and infrastructure' vs. 'greening the economy'.
confirms my @guardian take that #EuropeanGreenDeal remains trapped in #schwarzenull logic of austerity.
What 'Just Transition' do we get if nudging markets towards low-carbon means privatisation of health (hello coronavirus) & other public services? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

in parallel, most popular video on Romanian Facebook (8 million views in two weeks) is about green nationalism that threatens to easily morph into anti-EU rhetoric if #EuropeanGreenDeal doesnt get its macro right
I’m trying to lose weight, which is kind of like trying to address #climatechange. I made a bunch of pledges to myself at my very own COP35 before Christmas 2019. But how can I do it, and will I succeed? 1/11
A diet is about finding the right balance between energy demand and supply. I can reduce my consumption, switch to healthier fuels (less ‘fossil’ varieties, more ‘greens’). I can also exercise, making everything more #energyefficient. Setting targets is also important. 2/11
But by golly, it’s hard to fit all this in when I also have to maintain a job, an apartment, pay bills, keep relationships… there’s more to life than fretting about the climate (um, I mean, my health). 3/11
Berlino e #carbone: dal ‘chi inquina paga’ al ‘chi inquina incassa’
Dall'inizio del Millennio la #Germania ha ridotto le emissioni meno della media europea.

L’uscita dal #nucleare causerà un aumento delle #emissioni tedesche tra il 2022 e il 2035-2038 per via di un maggior ricorso al #carbone, dal quale intende uscire solo dopo tale data.

Nonostante ciò, nessun monito è arrivato da Bruxelles e anzi la #Germania sarà il 2° beneficiario dello #EuropeanGreenDeal mentre l’impatto di tali scelte ricade sull’intero sistema elettrico europeo.

how European to patronise young climate activists by drawing on the wrong kind of macroeconomics.
'would these pesky Berliners protest if they knew they had to pay for Polish coal miners' is exactly the kind of ignorant question that 10 years of austerity and German #schwarzenull politics have given us, and that the #EuropeanNewDeal is reproducing.
it assumes neither state nor private finance can pay for the #EuropeanGreenDeal, it must come out of the pockets of the progressive Germans who will thus be taught a lesson.
I talked to @MESandbu about why @EU_Commission #EuropeanGreenDeal should not become a toothless Green Third Way

@MESandbu @EU_Commission Green Third Way lies between relying on the market to deal w climate crisis and Green New Deal policies that view the state as critical for structural transformation for the low carbon economy.
@MESandbu @EU_Commission The Green Third Way basically seeks to nudge the market in the right direction. It uses public money as 'seed funding' to derisk new technologies and financial instruments. This nudging does not put in place green industrial policies that can engineer a fast and just transition
On Thursday, the @EIB board (Member States, @EU_Commission) decides whether funding #gas infrastructure is still in the public interest.

Economist Prof. @CKemfert clearly tells us that we're setting us up for another badly managed transition with #strandedassets if we use public funding for #fossilfuels as renewables and efficiency will undercut the market for gas. euractiv.de/section/energi… @OlafScholz
