Essentially, given the very limited remaining carbon budget, OECD countries should phase out coal by 2030, oil and gas by 2040. Non-OECD countries would get 10 more years.

#COP28 reminder that International Energy Agency sees demand for coal, oil and gas peaking in 2022, 2028 and 2029 even *under currently enacted policies* Fossil fuels overall would peak in 2025 – and global energy-related CO2 emissions as soon as this yr carbonbrief.org/analysis-globa…

Latest global stocktake text at #COP28 No fossil fuel phase out -> instead "Reducing both consumption and projection of fossil fuels" (not the same) Also: phasing down unabated coal, accelerating zero and low emissions tech, and phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies

#COP28 negotiations are down to the wire, and the new draft Global Stocktake text falls severely short of what’s needed. Civil society is calling on Canada to step up & fight for an agreement rooted in science and justice. climateactionnetwork.ca/as-cop28-reach…

Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night. The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels. We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.

After this #COP28 was led by an oil-paid president, hosted in an oil-producing country, lobbied by OPEC itself, and attended by 2,456 fossil fuel lobbyist -- A "fossil fuel phaseout" must be in the text for our leaders to prove they still remember how to stand up.

Does the latest #COP28 global stocktake text reflect the science behind a #FossilFuelPhaseOut ? It is based on *the most* optimistic assumptions of the viability of carbon capture and removal tech, not acknowledging the many problems Read more here: theconversation.com/cop28-the-scie…

I wish it came as a surprise that countries at #COP28 can't agree to a phase out of fossil fuels, especially without the word unabated... but it was expected going in to the meeting. Here were countries negotiating positions, via Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/qa-why-definin…

Even if #COP28 goes down in flames, it will have transformed how the world talks about fossil fuels. Failure would be "Pyrrhic victory,” for oil and gas, Bill Hare told me on sidelines. “They will have held this up, but they won't have stopped it.” newscientist.com/article/240825…

This conclusion is historic and insufficient. Historic because we finally have a global agreement naming fossil fuels as the problem and the source of the climate crisis and despite the oil lobby we held onto science based targets. Insufficient? You can read what the #cop28 text
