Kevin Anderson (Kevin Anderson), energy and climate change professor, says compared to world leaders making decisions at #COP26 “the protestors and the civil society movements … are much more in line with what the science is calling for.”

The International Maritime Organization set their climate targets against a 2008 baseline. TyndallManchester calculates that since 2008, shipping has already used half of its Paris-compatible carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. International Maritime Organization needs to set tougher climate targets and policies asap, #MEPC77

Really excited to be starting a new EPSRC Fellowship with Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, working with @schmid_gallego and alongside Alice Larkin 🐝, Simon Bullock and others. The research will investigate the feasibility of how sail-assisted ships can optimise their voyage in real-time.

Three Decades of Climate Mitigation What have we achieved? * 60% rise in fossil CO₂ emissions * Half of all fossil CO₂ emitted (since 1990) * Developed countries dominate CO₂ emissions per person Read why... annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.11…

Very humbled to win the judges and audience favourite award at the Decarbon8 presentation competition. Thanks to everyone at @N8Decarbo for a fantastic few days.

The world has warmed on average ~1°C in the last 80 years. Where will it go in the next 80? * It looks like we have avoided the worse >3°C * Current action is consistent with 2-3°C (& rising after 2100) * Emissions need to go net zero <2100 to ensure <2°C, the earlier the better!

After a 3-day train journey to Italy, I'm proud to present my research on stochastic uncertainty at the HIPER conference 2022. The shipping sector requires imminent action to achieve its climate change targets using technologies such as wind propulsion and weather routing.

I was very fortunate to be interviewed yesterday for the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research podcast, Tyndall Talks. In this new episode, myself and my colleague Asha talk about reducing carbon emissions from planes and ships, and what we can do as individuals to help. tyndall.ac.uk/podcasts/beyon…

1.5C demands unprecedented cuts in fossil fuel use *this* decade. How close is the international shipping sector & International Maritime Organization getting to this in terms of ambition, and what do the 2023 IMO targets imply for the UK's Clean Maritime Plan Refresh Department for Transport - read more here...

Do the IMO greenhouse gas targets for shipping align with the Paris Agreement? Our new paper and blog at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research digs deeper and outlines implications for UK shipping. Authored with Simon Bullock and Alice Larkin 🐝.
