The widely shared claim that the Iranian regime has committed to executing 15,000 detained protesters is not true. Please stop sharing it. The Iranian regime is horrific, brutal and ruthless as it actually is. There's no need to make up stories.

1/n Today the International Energy Agency released a special report on the role of coal in net zero transitions. With this thread I want to highlight some of the key findings of the report. Thread iea.org/news/achieving…

Negotiations going strong at COP27 thedailystar.net/opinion/views/…

Easy to forget that emissions are just one part of the assault on life

📅 17 Nov, 10:30am EET📍#SDG7 Pavilion, #COP27: The capital continuum: Catalytic finance driving the clean #EnergyTransition in Africa Our Africa Director Chris Stephens will moderate this panel, which will explore how to support companies to enter the energy transition sector.

To limit global warming to 1.5˚C, coal generation must be reduced by 80% by 2030 & phased out by 2040. At COP26, we launched #CATA with RMI & #ClimateSmartVentures. CATA is designed to help achieve these goals with a focus on finance. Read what we've been up to since:

New “elements” of a decision released by #COP27 team around 0630. It has ballooned from 2 to 20 pages. That’s a strategic choice by those drafting. Hard 2-3 days beckons… Some hot-takes below…

New draft decision on future COPs confirms UAE will host COP28 next year (but in Dec). However, COP29 in 2024 will be in "East Europe" (hence, Bulgaria and Czech signalling their interest) and COP30 in 2025 would be in "Latin American & Carib". So Lula's Brazil? But when Oz?

Presenting our new Net Zero Intelligence Unit ✨ Their new insight explains that reaching Net Zero involves focussing on the sectors most responsible for emissions & sets out 5 system-wide conditions for progress. Look out for their insight on what's next for Net Zero post-COP27

UK says their Alok Sharma, EU’s Frans Timmermans and Canada’s Steven Guilbeault have just been to see Cop27 Pres Sameh Shoukry. Told him there’s too many gaps and G20 language should be baseline not a ceiling. #Cop27

“We need to export to our biggest and most obvious market which is 20 miles across the Channel” This #bbcqt audience member who trades with European countries says his business is “hanging in there”, claiming Brexit is a “disaster for our economy” Watch bit.ly/3GrL8GI x.com/bbcquestiontim…

“That’s what Brexit has done to us” The SNP’s Ian Blackford cites a Highland bakery that has lost 60% of its European workforce, preventing it from expanding #bbcqt bit.ly/3tBacDs x.com/bbcquestiontim…

A little thought experiment for #COP27 By a large distance, the US has the greatest historical responsibility for climate change But China's emissions today are much higher If their CO2 emissions remain constant, US would still have a large lead over China by 2030

Nakeeyat, CVF Thematic Ambassador for Youth, delivers a call to leaders on behalf of 1.5 billion people at #COP27’s stocktaking plenary to standing ovation: “Duty bearers, kindly up your game.” 👏👏👏 #PaymentOverdue Read her message: thecvf.org/our-voice/stat…

Celebrating today's COP27 decision to establish a fund for responding to loss and whose mandate includes a focus on addressing loss and damage!!!

Listen to Prof. Jeff Waage OBE, ecologist & Fmr member of Defra UK Science Advisory Committee, explain why its vital we take a stand against GOV.UK's #AttackOnNature! Pls RT RSPB The Wildlife Trusts WWF UK Chris Packham George Monbiot

Al Jaber's appointment as #COP28 President is outrageously regressive and deeply problematic to say the least! Fossil fuels are the root cause of the #ClimateCrisis. His position as CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company raises grave conflict of interest issues.

My registration for the #UNWaterConference has been approved. However, I lack fundings for arrangement of my travel. My region has faced it rough due to water insecurity & my voice is the hope that they need. Help me to make it to the UN-Water Conference 2023. Sanitation and Water for All
