Two years on from Glasgow and our warming estimates for government action have barely moved. Governments appear oblivious to the extreme events of the past year, somehow thinking treading water will deal with the flood of impacts? bit.ly/CAT_COP28_upda…

Ever notice how nearly every climate denial argument fall into just one of FIVE categories? But here's the twist: they all share ONE goal - preventing action. So don't be distracted: debunk briefly, then pivot immediately to positive, constructive solutions for a better world.

So what would it actually take to phase out fossil fuels in alignment with Paris Agreement and 1.5°C science? And what are the loopholes to avoid? We asked Claire Fyson Climate Analytics to explain. And what a brilliant job she did! The essentials in her 9 slides.👇 #COP28 2/2

What's next for the loss and damage fund? After a strong start at #COP28UAE, the institutional heavy lifting really begins. But what the fund will end up doing means different things to different people... My Dubai deep dive: thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2023/…

The final #GST text - and main #COP28UAE outcome - has been adopted, and is very mixed. The main point of this COP was to secure a course correction to keep the 1.5C limit open. Measured from this perspective, there is insufficient action to close the emissions gap by 2030.

"For the first time, the move away from fossil fuels is explicitly stated in a COP outcome – a first nail in the coffin for the fossil fuel industry," says our CEO Bill Hare on the "mixed bag" GST text adopted at the UN climate talks today in Dubai. Get the full statement

The new loss and damage fund means many things to many people. While the fledgling fund has been something of a success story so far, climate rights advocates say the devil will be in the detail. Will Worley reports ⬇️ buff.ly/3GDiBNd

Context and perspective on #COP28UAE outcome on #LossAndDamage fund. The work is all but done. Sneha Pandey Daniel Lund Avinash Persaud

#COP28 saw the gavel came down on "the only global stocktake that matters for #1o5C" - AOSIS. We breakdown the key takeaways from the first GST since the Paris Agreement and how it sets the stage for the next two years in climate. climateanalytics.org/comment/the-on…

Today we report in Nature Biomedical Engineering the eePASSIGE system, which uses evolved and engineered recombinases and prime editing to integrate large gene-sized DNA cargoes into the mammalian genome in an efficient, precise, and targeted manner. (1/13) drive.google.com/file/d/1WDMVqL…

Drawing lessons from the Caribbean, Olivia Serdeczny, Sneha Pandey and Sasha Jattansingh take a look at where, how and why to report on loss and damage finance needs, the types of costs that can be reported and what makes an event ‘climate-related'. climateanalytics.org/comment/how-co…

1/2. “The urgency of dispersing from the [#LossAndDamage] Fund is critical for Least Developed Countries (LDCs).. #LossAndDamage is real for LDCs. In Nepal🇳🇵floods killed 74 people and 78 are missing.” Adao Soares Barbosa of Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 encourages the Board of the #LossAndDamage

Alarming reporting from BBC News (UK) on a fringe and potentially dangerous option. The science is clear that solar geoengineering is no remedy for climate change and poses new risks - the equivalent of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire 🧵👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…

The loss and damage fund is looking to strike the right balance between high standards and accessibility. As its board prepares to meet, Olivia Serdeczny and Sneha Pandey share lessons from other funds to explore how to make the fund accessible for vulnerable countries.

Can we calculate a #lossanddamage finance gap? Despite persistent data gaps, @adelle_SIDS, Emily Theokritoff, Sneha Pandey & myself have mapped out a way. Check out this Germanwatch report and get your calculators out! germanwatch.org/en/91569

The Fund for responding to #LossandDamage is set to roll out $250M in early support for vulnerable nations facing climate impacts. Proposals open soon to finance country-led initiatives. New blog by Manjeet Dhakal and Sneha Pandey. climateanalytics.org/comment/loss-a…
