Big move for the host of COP29: "As a sign of good gesture, the Republic of Armenia supports the bid of the Republic of Azerbaijan to host the 29th Session of the Conference of Parties (COP29) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, by withdrawing its own candidacy."
Sultan Al Jaber: "Oil ans gas industry can lead the way so that others can follow" Hmmm, isn't it the other way around for about 3 decades ?!
Wow! OPEC is really mad at IEA latest report... "The manner in which the IEA has unfortunately used its social media platforms in recent days to criticize and instruct the oil&gas ind. is undiplomatic to say the least. OPEC itself is not an org. that would prescribe to others what they should do."
COP28 has not even started and I'm already exhausted 😅 Trying to wake up at 3 am since last Friday to make up for the 9-hour time difference with Dubai... I hope it will become a good strategy at some point !! Good luck to everyone @ketanjoshi.co@drsimevans.bsky.social@jenirisallan.bsky.social
Will Sultan Al Jaber be responsible for the failure of a phase out of all fossil fuels agreement at COP28?
No surprise: we made progress but it's still not enough! We have to keep on going :) State of climate action 2023 report is out: www.wri.org/research/sta...
Your regular reminder that "Scaling CCS does not mean business-as-usual for the fossil fuel industry" ETC will be releasing a pre-COP28 report on Fossil Fuels in Transition this week, but for now they published a blog post: www.energy-transitions.org/bitesize/car...
WRI's priorities for COP28: - ambitious GST - energy transition, incl. fossil fuels - climate finance - loss and damage www.wri.org/insights/cop...
At the next UN climate summit, climate negotiators must come prepared to deliver a rapid and ambitious response plan to the first "Global Stocktake."
I'll be closely following COP28 negotiations and I think a list can be useful to many bsky.app/profile/did:...@drsimevans.bsky.social@jenirisallan.bsky.social@duycks.bsky.social@mjfeist.bsky.social@lossanddamage.bsky.social@ziaweise.bsky.social@farhana.bsky.social
