Congrats Judy & team on a great paper

#COP28 needs voices of the Global South/Majority to raise the discussion far beyond the colonial norms & wider inequalities embedded deep in the IPCC (WGIII). See: theconversation.com/ipccs-conserva… It’s 2023, yet the framing of climate change remains locked into a yesteryear mindset.

Climate impacts are intensifying worldwide, yet emissions continue to rise. UNEP's 2023 #EmissionsGap Report outlines the urgent steps needed to meet the Paris Agreement goals: unep.org/resources/emis…

UN Sec Gen António Guterres at today's #EmissionsGap report launch: The emissions gap is more like an emissions canyon. In 2030, we're set for emissions to be 22 Gt higher than the 1.5C litmit would allow - that gap is equivalent to today's emissions of US, China and EU combined

Reading through the new #EmissionsGap report UN Environment Programme I'm struck by how much attention it places on fossil fuels. This is unprecedented and it will be an incredibly useful resource. Some choice quotes: wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/hand…

The UN Environment Programme #EmissionsGap Report is out! Findings show the 🌏 is heading for 2.5–2.9°C of warming unless gov'ts bring in more ambitious targets to 2035 & 📈 financial & technical assistance for an equitable energy transition. Take a closer look:🧵1/10 📗 unep.org/resources/emis…

UN Environment Programme The #EGR shows *existing* fossil fuel extraction & consumption infrastructure could cause enough CO2 to obliterate the 1.5C carbon budget and must be phased out early, using data from IOP Environment study by me + Greg Muttitt et al and nature study by Dan Tong et al.

UN Environment Programme IOP Environment Greg Muttitt nature Dan Tong As usual, UNSG António Guterres was on point: closing the “emissions canyon” and keeping 1.5C alive “requires tearing out the poisoned root of the climate crisis: fossil fuels.” press.un.org/en/2023/sgsm22…

Our new report: 'Petrostates of Decline' finds the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪, host of #COP28, is one of 28 #petrostates that risk losing more than half their expected income from #FossilFuels by 2040, as the #EnergyTransition accelerates carbontracker.org/reports/petros…

Jeffrey Qiu But there's a very important part that is new: "no investment on new fossil fuel infrastructure". AFAIK this is the first time ANY party or bloc has called for this on the floor It 100% aligns with what the science says we need. See IISD's analysis: iisd.org/publications/r…

1⃣ End of the #FossilFuel era Countries committed for the first time to move away from fossil fuels—but haven't explicitly pledged to phase them out, nor set clear timelines. Next step: set meaningful targets in nationally determined contributions (#NDCs) by Q1 2025. 2/10

Very excited to have a paper in Science Magazine today! Here's a 🧵 from our lead author Fergus 👇
