In 2021, the European Climate Law created the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change EU Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change and tasked it to inform the EU’s #2040ClimateTarget and 2030-2050 greenhouse gas (GHG) budget. Today, EU Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change published its advice. Here’s the short version 🧵1/n

In a paper for Science Magazine, Prof Joeri Rogelj and his co-authors discuss countries’ net zero pledges and their realistic implementation without non-binding measures in place Read the article here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Grantham Institute Imperial Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial imperial.ac.uk/news/245295/wi…

#OpenAccess #NewArticle We proudly present "Comparing the Sequence of Climate Change Mitigation Targets and Policies in Major Emitting Economies" Part of a Special Issue on Climate Action through Policy Expansion and/or Dismantling on #JCPA_ICPA tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It is time take stock of progress since last year to inform #COP28: we assessed 25 major emitting countries’ progress towards their climate targets. 🧵⤵️ bit.ly/NewClimate_PBL…

We find that 13 countries are on track to meet their NDC targets. This is 2 more compared to our 2022 update. Some were already on track last year: China 🇨🇳, Egypt 🇪🇬, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, India 🇮🇳, Iran 🇮🇷, Mexico 🇲🇽, Morocco 🇲🇦, Russia 🇷🇺, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Viet Nam 🇻🇳

Our annual update on the 25 major emitters' emission projections w/ PBL English IIASA is out! Complementary to ClimateActionTracker @catclimate.bsky.social and UN Environment Programme Emissions Gap report, providing land use-specific emission estimates and cross-country comparisons on key decarb indicators.

Climate impacts are intensifying worldwide, yet emissions continue to rise. UNEP's 2023 #EmissionsGap Report outlines the urgent steps needed to meet the Paris Agreement goals: unep.org/resources/emis…

ANALYSIS: what impact will the #COP28 announcements make on closing the emissions gap? Few of them will do so meaningfully. Many either lack the ambition, clarity, coverage or accountability needed to make a difference /🧵 [from the *actual* CAT] bit.ly/CAT_COP28_init…

Een goed signaal voor alle landen om volgend jaar hun klimaatplannen verder aan te scherpen, en met duidelijke plannen te komen om het klimaatdoel van Parijs te halen. nos.nl/l/2501405

📚 New publication in Nature on consensus in mitigation scenarios! With the many discussions on the role of fossils during the climate conference #COP28, you may wonder what the science of climate change mitigation can tell us. Below, a thread. nature.com/articles/s4158…

.@ClimateLeo et al. (incl. Catrina Godinho, Takeshi Kuramochi, Mia Moisio, Michel den Elzen, Prof Niklas Höhne - only on blsky mastodon threads) write on climate policy. TL;DR: a tug of war continues in climate policy, with positive developments often balanced by negative developments. nature.com/articles/s4301…

Watch live as UNEP launches the 2024 #EmissionsGap Report. The report sends an urgent message to cut GHG emissions & deliver on the Paris Agreement temperature goals in the next round of countries' Nationally Determined Contributions to #ClimateAction. unep.org/events/publica…

🚀Just released: The UN Environment Programme #EmissionsGap Report 2024: No More Hot Air… Please! 🌡️ The authors warn that global temperatures could rise between 2.6°C and 3.1°C by the end of the century without urgent action. Even 2.6°C will have severe impacts on people and the planet🌍

Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️ It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the UN Environment Programme #Emissionsgap report. How high are global emissions? What have countries pledged? And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement? Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1
