He’s right, you know.

#MindTheGap | Climate & energy knowledge gaps are holding back inclusive energy transitions, particularly for women. From #JustTransition, to solar irrigation, & clean cooking discover what work is underway to fuel inclusive energy transitions. 🧵1/8 #InspireInclusion #IWD2024

Did you know liquefied natural gas (#LNG) is a significant source of global #methane emissions? Despite being touted as a ‘transition fuel’ to reduce reliance on #coal, research finds natural gas could be as harmful when methane emissions are considered. 🧵1/4

"Every single resources minister in Coalition and Labor governments since 2001 has gone to work in the fossil fuel sector." Senator Larissa Waters talking about getting the fossil fuel industry's influence out politics, at the #ClimateIntegrity Summit. #auspol

India reduced fossil fuel subsidies by ~60% since 2014 but they are still much larger (4x) than clean energy subsidies. The government needs to shift support to speed up the energy transition.

How the national level ambition is translated to state level action. Join us to know more on state level performance and hear from the experts.

We all need some good climate news to kickstart our week, and here it is. Australia's energy grid, which covers every state and territory except WA and the NT, averaged more than 45% renewables for the month of September.

G20 gov’ts provided USD 168bn in public financial support for renewable power in 2023—less than 1/3 of G20 subsidies for fossil fuels. At #CEM15, Christopher Beaton highlighted the role state-owned enterprises & public finance institutions can play in shifting financial flows.👇

The new worldnuclearreport.org finds solar+storage is so much cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear in decline: "Solar and wind power capacities grew by 73 percent and 51 percent, respectively, resulting in 460 GW of combined new capacity versus a decline of 1 GW in nuclear capacity."

"Overall, the greenhouse gas footprint for LNG as a fuel source is 33% greater than that for coal" - Howarth - Energy Science & Engineering scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/es…

"Stop giving power to people who don't believe in science or worse than that, pretend they don't believe in climate change for their own self-interest." Harrison Ford There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #biodiversity #voteclimate #dumptrump #vote

The International Energy Agency #Renewables2024 is out now. The forecast—skyrocketing #RenewableEnergy deployment with #China leading the charge. Yet despite record breaking capacity additions, the 🌎 is not on track to 3x renewable energy by 2030. What needs to be done?🧵1/6 iea.org/reports/renewa…

Great study by the Australian Biodiversity Council "4% of the federal budget goes to subsidising activities that are likely to have a medium to high adverse impact on biodiversity... $26.3 billion/year... 50 times larger than it invests in biodiversity" biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/nature-ne…

Once again, the world owes a huge debt to the medical profession, who continue to speak out when our governments and our media support this horror...

Gaza, the prelude of the end of humanity. We have been watching a live streamed genocide for 14 months, while our political leaders have clapped hands to it. Never in my life will I get over this horror alternative reality. A never ending black mirror episode.

""Australia, Canada, Norway, the US and the UK are all reducing domestic emissions under current policies, but their fossil fuel exports either remain constant, or are increasing." Excellent briefing: climateactiontracker.org/blog/highlight…

Energy security depends on availability & affordability—renewable energy is vital for both. Domestic wind & solar alongside battery storage can provide a reliable & diverse mix of energy, which isn't exposed to volatile int'l markets. 🧵1/6 #EarthDay

IISD is celebrating #EarthDay with this great thread on renewable energy, the theme for #EarthDay2025!
