I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital. Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes. This must stop.

1/11.⚡️BREAKING NEWS⚡️: The fifth meeting (#TC5) of the Transitional Committee (TC) of the #LossAndDamage Fund has agreed on recommendations to send to #COP28. However, the US 🇺🇸 says “it is not a consensus document” because they were not in the room when it was adopted.

#COP28 needed to signal a hard stop to fossil fuels and their planet-burning pollution.   We didn’t turn the page on the #fossilfuel era, but this is clearly the beginning of the end. We must get on with the job of putting the Paris Agreement fully to work.

No, COP28 will not enable us to hold the 1.5°C limit, but yes, the result is a pivotal land-mark. It makes clear to finance, business and societies that we are now finally - 8 years behind Paris schedule - at the beginning of the end of the fossil-fuel driven world economy (1/4).

Science called for a mitigation COP, and we got a mitigation COP, focused on fossil-fuels. The world must now act accordingly, i.e. rapidly transition away from oil, coal and gas, aiming at >40% reductions by 2030 and reaching net-zero by 2050, as recognized in the text (2/4).

Yet, the text on transition away from fossil-fuel remains too vague, with no accountability for 2030, 2040 & 2050. No recognition that scaling CO2 removal technology needs to occur in addition to fossil-fuel phase out, to have a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C (3/4)

And there is no convincing plan on how to transition away from fossil-fuels. National voluntary action alone will not do it. Collective, global action, on finance, carbon pricing, and technology exchange are also needed, at a scale vastly exceeding what is now on the table (4/4).

"If people were driven purely by science and economics, the climate crisis would be half-way to solved by now. But, as the latest IPCC report lays out so unequivocally, it’s not." - Juergen Voegele on the political economy of climate action: wrld.bg/jagH50QsjLL #WithinReach

The level of suffering, desperation and deprivation in the Gaza Strip is: 🔴 unbearable. 🔴 unconscionable. 🔴 unacceptable. The world needs to know what the people of #Gaza are enduring, and political leaders must bring this war to an end. ➡️ bit.ly/3tQ1Hbv

The planet is choking on plastic. Every minute the equivalent of 1 garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the ocean. To #BeatPlasticPollution, we must reduce the production of plastic & pursue systematic change. unep.org/news-and-stori…
