“The climate action report reveals that global efforts to tackle the climate crisis remain woefully inadequate. At #COP28, countries, cities & businesses must show how they are scaling up ambitious climate action” - Sophie Boehm #StateOfClimateAction: bit.ly/3QZCnZj

Are world leaders taking the climate crisis seriously? This report card suggests not. Lackluster promises. Distrust. Climate emissions rising. And "existential" crisis for world's largest oil exporter. nytimes.com/2023/11/14/cli…

World Resources Institute found in a recent report that global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius "are failing across the board." newsweek.com/five-things-pe…

1. A quick (and selective) thread on food and climate change on day 1 of #COP28 #COP28UAE here in Dubai. There are several really important developments to celebrate; a few important caveats and things to watch out for; and a lot of work still to do.

Today we launched NRDC 🌎🏡's #COP28 Climate Fund Pledge Tracker, keeping tabs on #climatefinance announcements to: The fund to address #LossAndDamage The Adaptation Fund Global Environment Facility (GEF)'s Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) nrdc.org/bio/joe-thwait…

Two quotes by two scientists have caused a bit of confusion. 👇 I am one of them. So let me explain what I'm referring to here. (1) Karl Mathiesen

#COP28 stocktake draft reax… Marshall Isl "we did not come here to sign our death warrant…What we have seen today is unacceptable" AOSIS "completely insufficient" Romain Ioualalen "incoherent and dangerous" Hailey Campbell "horrible" Teresa Anderson "staggeringly empty"

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.

Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE

The #Cop28 outcome lays out that we need to peak global emissions before 2025 - a key deadline for 1.5. Previous drafts contained a clear call to achieve this - requested by SIDS and LDCs, among others. This was watered down in the final text.

📢📢NEW📢📢 THE definitive Carbon Brief summary of #COP28, an epic team effort by all my brilliant colleagues (+ me) HUGE thanks to the dozens of experts, wonks, geeks, friends who gave quotes & helped us pull this together (Final sections coming tmrw) carbonbrief.org/cop28-key-outc…

"It's not enough for us to reference the science and then make agreements that ignore what the science is telling us we need to do. This is not an approach that we should be asked to defend." This was not the closing act but the opening scene of a renewed fight for 1.5.

NEW 5 point plan for the next generation of #NDCs from WRI Climate: 🏭Set emissions-reduction targets 🎯 Accelerate systemwide transformations 💪 Build resilience 💰 Spur investment and strengthen governance 👥 Put people at the center Learn more: bit.ly/3xPTs0H

A Comment article in NatureClimate discusses how viewing scientists’ opinions and fears about climate change as irrelevant suggests that science is separate from society, and argues that this perspective weakens climate science. 🔒 go.nature.com/3YklvjH

🚨NEW PAPER out in nature: Overconfidence in climate overshoot. 30 scientists led by Carl-Friedrich Schleussner analyse scenarios in which we temporarily exceed #1o5C but bring temperatures back down in the long run. What did they learn? 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

#EmissionsGap report from UN Environment Programme clarifies that further delays in aligning near-term action with long-term ambition risks putting the 1.5°C limit out of reach. The good news - we can bridge the gap for 2030 & 2035 More on mitigation potentials in Chapter 6: unep.org/resources/emis…

Nesting sector-specific targets under economywide GHG emissions reduction targets can help #NDCs spur immediate climate action. For Climate Analytics NewClimate Institute @newclimate.bsky.social & WRI Climate we show what's needed across sectors by 2030 & 2035 to limit warming to 1.5°C. wri.org/insights/clima…

Reminder: Victory for Trump is likely to all but end global hopes of staying below 1.5C, our analysis found in March carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump…

🌍 Limiting warming to 1.5°C means transforming every sector. Sophie Boehm, Senior Research Associate at WRI Climate, explains how next-gen #NDCs due in 2025 should include sector-specific targets to drive crucial climate progress: bit.ly/3V6VxOD
